At DuPont Lash and Brow Studio, we understand the journey to perfect brows doesn’t end after the initial procedure. Touch-ups are a vital part of maintaining the stunning look of your nano brows. In this guide, we’ll cover everything you need to know about nano brows touch-ups, including when to get them, what to expect, and how to care for your brows afterward.
Why Are Touch-Ups Important?
Nano brows are designed to be semi-permanent, meaning the pigment will gradually fade over time. A touch-up ensures that your brows stay fresh, defined, and beautiful. It’s an opportunity to make any necessary adjustments to the shape, color, and fullness of your brows.
When to Get a Touch-Up
- Initial Touch-Up: The first touch-up is typically scheduled 6-8 weeks after your initial procedure. This allows time for your brows to heal completely and for the pigment to settle. During this session, your technician will address any areas that may have faded or need more pigment.
- Regular Maintenance: To keep your nano brows looking their best, we recommend touch-ups every 12-18 months. The exact timing can vary depending on factors like your skin type, lifestyle, and how well you follow aftercare instructions.
What to Expect During a Touch-Up
- Consultation: Each touch-up session starts with a brief consultation. Your technician will assess the current state of your brows, discuss any changes you want, and ensure you’re happy with the overall look.
- Numbing: As with the initial procedure, a topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure your comfort during the touch-up.
- Pigment Application: The technician will use the nano-needling technique to add more pigment to your brows. This process is usually quicker than the initial procedure since it focuses on specific areas that need enhancement.
- Final Adjustments: After applying the pigment, your technician will make any final adjustments to ensure your brows look perfect.
Aftercare for Touch-Ups
Proper aftercare is just as important for touch-ups as it is for the initial procedure. Here’s how to care for your brows after a touch-up:
- Keep Them Dry: Avoid getting your brows wet for the first 24-48 hours. This includes showers and activities that cause sweating.
- No Makeup: Refrain from applying makeup on or near your brows for at least a week.
- Avoid Touching: Keep your hands off your brows to prevent infection and uneven healing.
- Apply Healing Ointment: Use the recommended healing ointment to keep your brows moisturized and protected.
- Protect from Sun: Avoid direct sun exposure and protect your brows with a hat or sunscreen once they are fully healed.
Common Questions About Touch-Ups
- Will It Hurt? Most clients find the touch-up process to be less uncomfortable than the initial procedure, especially with the numbing cream applied.
- How Long Does It Take? A touch-up session typically takes about 1-2 hours, depending on how much work needs to be done.
- Can I Change the Shape or Color? Yes, touch-ups are a great opportunity to make minor adjustments to the shape or color of your brows. Discuss any changes you want with your technician during the consultation.
Maintaining Your Nano Brows Between Touch-Ups
To keep your nano brows looking their best between touch-ups, follow these tips:
- Use Gentle Skincare Products: Avoid harsh cleansers or exfoliants around your brows.
- Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure: UV rays can cause the pigment to fade faster. Use sunscreen or wear a hat when outdoors.
- Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration keeps your skin healthy, which helps maintain the appearance of your brows.
- Follow a Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced diet and avoiding smoking can also help prolong the life of your nano brows.
