If you’re diving into the world of nano brows, you’re probably wondering how long it takes before you can flaunt your fresh, flawless brows without worrying about the healing process. The good news? The healing journey is smooth and relatively quick!
Most people experience complete healing within 7 to 14 days, with the most noticeable stages occurring in the first week. Initially, your brows might appear darker than expected—don’t panic! This is completely normal and part of the healing process. Over the next few days, you might notice some light scabbing or flaking, but nothing too extreme.
By the end of two weeks, your brows should be settled, looking more natural as the pigment softens and blends into your skin. A touch-up appointment at Mbrows & Beauty is recommended after 6 to 8 weeks to perfect the final look.

How Long Does Nano Brows Take?
The actual nano brow procedure itself isn’t an all-day affair, but it does require precision and care. At Mbrows & Beauty, the full process usually takes around 2.5 to 3 hours. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
- Consultation & Brow Mapping (30-45 mins): We discuss your brow goals, map out the perfect shape, and select the ideal pigment colour for your skin tone.
- Numbing (20-30 mins): A topical anaesthetic is applied to keep discomfort to a minimum.
- Nano Brow Application (60-90 mins): Using an ultra-fine tattooing machine, we create precise hair-like strokes to mimic real brows.
- Final Touches & Aftercare Discussion (15-20 mins): We go over what to expect during the healing process and provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to keep your brows looking their best.
It’s a one-time session that sets you up with natural, flawless brows for up to three years. A little patience goes a long way when it comes to waking up with perfect brows every day!
How Long Do Nano Brows Take?
You might be thinking, “Wait, didn’t we just cover this?” Well, yes—but let’s talk about the whole journey, from booking your appointment to seeing your final, fully healed results.
Here’s the typical nano brow timeline:
- Before the Appointment: Once you’ve booked in at Mbrows & Beauty, we recommend avoiding alcohol, caffeine, and blood thinners for at least 24 hours before your session to minimise sensitivity.
- The Procedure: As mentioned earlier, the full appointment takes around 2.5 to 3 hours.
- Initial Healing (Day 1-7): Your brows will appear darker and may feel a little tender, with some light flaking around days 3-5.
- Settling Phase (Day 7-14): The pigment softens, and any flaking or dryness subsides, revealing a more natural look.
- Final Results (After Touch-Up at 6-8 Weeks): After your perfecting session, your nano brows are fully settled, looking flawless and ready to go!
