You’ll start with a consultation and brow mapping. Topical numbing is applied, then Naaz uses fine dotting to build the powder brow effect. Procedure typically takes 90–120 minutes. Expect mild discomfort, immediate darker color, and detailed aftercare instructions.

Results vary by skin type, lifestyle, and pigment care. Most clients enjoy 1–3 years of color, with an initial 6–8 week perfecting touch-up recommended. Periodic refreshers every 12–24 months maintain depth and crispness.

Most clients report minimal discomfort thanks to topical anesthetics applied before and during the procedure. Sensations are brief and manageable; Naaz adjusts techniques and anesthetic levels to ensure comfort. Expect tenderness during healing that subsides within days.

Ideal clients want fuller, softly shaded brows, have sparse or overplucked hair, or seek low-maintenance makeup. Contraindications include pregnancy, uncontrolled diabetes, active skin infections, certain blood-thinning medications, or a history of keloid scarring—consult during your pre-treatment assessment.

Avoid sun exposure, tanning, retinoids, chemical peels, heavy alcohol and blood-thinning medications for several days prior. Skip brow tinting or waxing 7–10 days before. Arrive with clean, makeup-free brows and bring medical information for medications or allergies.

Keep brows dry and clean, avoid swimming, saunas, heavy exercise, and makeup for about 7–14 days. Apply recommended ointment, avoid picking scabs. Initial dark color softens as pigment settles; full healing and final color typically occur within 4–8 weeks before touch-up.
