Nanobrows and Microblading Guidelines & Instructions

Please reach out to us via the contact page or at appointments@namuhouse.com if you have any other questions.

Is there anybody who can't get nanobrows or microblading?

Skin Conditions: Please ensure you have no skin conditions on or near your eyebrows (e.g., eczema, shingles, rashes, or keloids).

Existing Tattoos: If you have a previous eyebrow tattoo or permanent makeup, it must be light enough for hair strokes to show. Email a makeup-free photo of your brows to appointments@namuhouse.com

Allergies: Avoid booking if you’re allergic to alcohol, nickel, or numbing agents. A patch test is available upon request to confirm compatibility.

Age Requirement: Clients must be 18 years or older.

Health Considerations:

Not suitable for those with diabetes, anemia, blood deficiencies, or prone to post-inflammatory hypo-pigmentation or keloids (patch test required).
Vegans, vegetarians, or pescatarians may need to submit blood work showing normal iron levels.
Individuals with blood diseases (HIV, Hepatitis) or undergoing chemotherapy must consult a doctor and provide a clearance letter.

Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: The procedure cannot be performed on pregnant clients. For breastfeeding, wait at least 90 days post-weaning.

What will happen if I don't follow the pre-care and aftercare instructions?

You shouldn't be wondering this. Please read the guidelines carefully and follow the instructions!

What should I expect after the treatment?

Day 1:

Brows will appear 20–25% darker than the final healed result.
Swelling and redness are common after the procedure.

Days 2–4:

Swelling and redness will subside.
Strokes may look darker as scabs begin to form.

Day 7:

Shedding will start.

Days 7–10:

Shedding should be complete.
Strokes may appear very light—this is completely normal.

Weeks 2–6:

Strokes will gradually darken over time.
The true color will fully emerge by week 6.

How do I know if I need a touch up?

The second session is for refining the strokes from your first session and applying additional pigment to enhance longevity. Extra strokes may also be added for greater dimension and definition.

For first-time nanbrow or microblading clients, two sessions will best achieve the desired look and ensure lasting results. Think of it like applying nail polish—it takes at least two coats for full coverage and durability.

When should I book my second session?

Your second session should be scheduled between 4 - 12 weeks after your first appointment.

Will I need another session after that?

To maintain your brows, we suggest scheduling touch-ups every 12–18 months after your last appointment. Without touch-ups, your brows will naturally fade over time, lasting approximately two years, depending on your lifestyle and skin type.

Think of it like root maintenance for your hair. If you address fading early, a simple color fill will suffice. Waiting too long, however, may require a full treatment to restore your brows.

Pre-Care

Aftercare

To ensure you’re an ideal candidate for your procedure and achieve the best possible results, it’s important to follow these pre-care guidelines. Failure to do so may impact the final outcome.

30 Days Before Your Appointment:

Avoid harsh skin exfoliants, laser treatments, or chemical peels.

2 Weeks Before Your Appointment:

Refrain from tweezing, waxing, electrolysis, using retinol, or tinting/laminating your brows.

72 Hours Before Your Appointment:

Avoid all blood thinners, including:
- Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Advil, Fish Oil, and Vitamin E
- Caffeine (coffee, tea, soda, boba)
- Alcohol and smoking
- Niacin and similar supplements

During Your Menstrual Cycle:

Be aware that undergoing the procedure while on your menstrual cycle may increase sensitivity due to hormonal changes.

Following these steps will help ensure a smooth procedure and optimal results.

Aftercare

Proper aftercare is essential to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results. Please follow these guidelines carefully:

Temporary Side Effects:
It’s normal to experience temporary redness, swelling, puffiness, bruising, dry patches, and tenderness after micropigmentation. While rare, infection can occur if aftercare is not followed properly. If you notice signs of infection, such as persistent redness, swelling, fever, or drainage, contact your doctor immediately.

General Care:

Sun Exposure: Avoid the sun for 24 hours post-treatment. Wear a hat if outdoors. Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least 4 weeks to prevent premature fading.
Keeping Brows Dry: Keep your brows completely dry for 7–10 days. Avoid swimming, saunas, steam rooms, and hot showers. Use a washcloth to clean your face carefully, keeping water away from your brows.
Sweating: Avoid sweating or strenuous activity for 7 days. You must keep your brows dry.
Touching or Picking: Let the treated area flake naturally. Do not pick, scratch, peel, or rub as this may remove pigment, delay healing, or cause scarring. If the skin is tight or itchy, please use a light moisturiser that is not oil based but hold off as long as you can!

Lifestyle Adjustments:

Sleeping Position: Sleep on your back, avoiding side or stomach positions, until the brows have fully healed (approximately 10 days).
Makeup and Skincare: Do not apply makeup or skincare products to the treated area for 10–14 days. Avoid exfoliating products (e.g., scrubs or acids) on the area for at least 4 weeks.

Follow-Up Appointment:
Schedule your touch-up session within 4–8 weeks to refine your brows and ensure the best possible results.

By following these instructions, you’ll protect your investment and enjoy beautiful, lasting results. If you have any questions or concerns during the healing process, don’t hesitate to reach out!
