Our methods for cosmetic eyebrow tattooing
Techniques in permanent make-up are constantly evolving. To create the illusion of real hair, we use the most advanced and precise method available on the market.
Nano Brows
Unlike older, manual methods, we use a digital PMU machine equipped with an extremely fine needle (often referred to as a nano-needle). The machine implants the pigment into the skin with gentle, rapid movements to create hyper-realistic nano strokes that mimic real hairs.
Gentle approach
A cornerstone of our business is an uncompromising respect for the skin’s barrier and its various layers. As the digital needle works with incredible precision and speed in the very top layer of the skin (upper dermis), it causes minimal mechanical trauma compared to a cutting hand tool. This methodical and gentle approach significantly reduces the risk of bleeding, which in turn prevents the ink from bleeding out. The result is that each individual hair remains sharp, heals faster and fades evenly over time.

Consultation prior to cosmetic tattooing
The process always begins with an initial consultation at our clinic. We examine your skin’s texture, moisture levels and sebum production to confirm that the needle technique is the best choice for your skin type. You will receive clear, medical information about how the pigment is implanted, the expected healing time and specific aftercare advice.
You will receive a personalised treatment plan tailored to your body.
Nano Brows
Step by step
We follow a rigorous clinical process from diagnosis to recovery, designed to maximise effectiveness and ensure your safety.
Consultation
Medical assessment and choice of method
You will meet with your PMU specialist for an analysis of your specific skin condition. Using a thread and specialised measuring tools (brow mapping), we will sketch out a framework that perfectly balances your facial features. We select a pigment that harmonises with your skin’s undertone, and the design must always be approved by you.
Before your treatment
Preparations for safe treatment
To minimise the risk of bleeding, which could otherwise cause the pigment to be forced out of the skin, you must not consume alcohol, coffee or blood-thinning medication (such as paracetamol) for 24 hours beforehand. The area must also not be sunburnt.
The day of treatment
Safe care at the clinic
The skin above the eyebrows is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected. To ensure the procedure is as comfortable and pain-free as possible, we usually apply a topical anaesthetic cream a short while before the machine starts working.
After treatment
Awakening and initial rest
The specialist uses the digital PMU machine. With extreme precision, microscopic lines are created in the skin, which are immediately filled with pigment. The machine builds up the eyebrow hair by hair in the direction of your natural growth. The appointment at the clinic, including the consultation, takes approximately 2 to 2.5 hours.
Recovery & healing
Self-care and convalescence guidelines
Superficial healing usually takes 7 to 14 days. The eyebrows will darken, feel stiff and will then start to flake. Your aftercare is absolutely crucial: you must keep the area dry initially, and strictly avoid sweaty exercise, chlorinated swimming pools, sunbathing and any form of make-up on the eyebrows until the scabs have fallen off naturally. Never pick at the eyebrows.
Monitoring & results
Medical check-up and final assessment
It is physiologically normal for the skin to shed up to 30–50 per cent of the pigment during the first few weeks. For this reason, a follow-up appointment is always scheduled for approximately 4–8 weeks later. At this appointment, we will top up any pigment that may have faded and refine the final shape.
Our specialists
When you receive treatment at The Faculty, you are looked after by specialists with rigorous training in cosmetic tattooing and the anatomy of the skin. Creating realistic hair strokes over the underlying musculature of the eyebrow requires a keen aesthetic eye and a steady hand. This collective expertise ensures that your procedure is carried out with the utmost safety.
Who can undergo the treatment?
Denna metod riktar sig till friska personer över 18 år. En enorm fördel med just nanotekniken är att den, till skillnad från manuell microblading fungerar utmärkt på i stort sett alla hudtyper, inklusive fet och oljig hud, med mycket låg risk för att stråna flyter ut. Vi utför dock inte behandlingen på patienter med aktivt eksem i brynen, autoimmuna sjukdomar, benägenhet för svåra keloida ärr, eller om du är gravid eller ammar.
Our clinics
At The Faculty, medical expertise meets a welcoming atmosphere. At Hangövägen 20, you will find our custom-built clinic, designed to meet strict clinical standards for hygiene and safety. For injection treatments and skincare, we welcome you to our walk-in clinic at Humlegårdsgatan 14 in Östermalm. Our practice is guided by a scientific approach and extensive experience, creating a safe and transparent treatment journey.
Payment guarantee and insurance
We prioritise transparency at every stage. At your initial consultation, you will receive a binding quote covering the entire basic treatment process, including the follow-up appointment. As a patient of a formally registered healthcare provider, you are also always covered by patient insurance. For those who wish to structure their payments, we offer transparent financing solutions through trusted partners.
Frequently Asked Questions about Nano Brows and Healing
Frequently asked questions and answers about Nano Brows and Healing
What is the actual difference between nano brows and microblading?
Detta är den vanligaste frågan när patienter ska välja metod. Microblading använder ett manuellt handverktyg med ett litet blad för att rista, eller skära, in färg i huden. Nano Brows använder en digital maskin med en nål som snabbt pickar in färgen utan att skära. Nanonålen skapar mindre trauma i huden, blöder mindre och resulterar i strån som håller sig skarpare över tid, särskilt på fet hud.
When I’m deciding between nano brows and microblading, which should I choose if I have oily skin?
Om du har fet hud, stora porer eller hud som lätt blöder, bör du absolut välja Nano Brows (eller skuggtekniken Powder Brows). Microblading på fet hud har nämligen en stark fysiologisk tendens att expandera, vilket gör att stråna flyter ut och blir suddiga under läkningsprocessen. Maskintekniken (nano) är mycket mer stabil.
Does the treatment hurt?
The experience of pain varies from person to person. As the machine is so gentle, the vast majority of patients find that Nano Brows is significantly less painful than the sharp sensation associated with traditional microblading. Many describe it more as a quick vibrating or tickling sensation, especially after our numbing cream has been applied.
What is the recovery process like, and will I need to take time off work?
You won’t need to take any time off work at all, as there is no recovery period that would prevent you from carrying out your daily tasks. However, your eyebrows will flake and itch for the first 7 to 14 days. It is an absolute medical requirement that you do not touch, scratch or peel off the flaking skin during this period.
Can I use my nano brows serum straight after the treatment?
No. If you are using an eyebrow serum to stimulate your own hair growth, you must stop using it for the entire healing process (approximately 14–21 days). Active serums increase blood circulation and cell renewal, which can irritate the tiny wounds and cause the pigment to be expelled from the skin prematurely.
Do I need to shave my eyebrows before the treatment?
Absolutely not. We want to preserve as much of your own natural hair growth as possible. We adapt the tattooed shape to your existing hair and only pluck or trim the hair that falls outside the new, measured template.
How long do the results of Nano Brows last?
Färgen håller i regel mellan ett och tre år innan den bleknar. Eftersom maskintekniken ofta lägger pigmentet något jämnare än manuella verktyg, upplever många att Nano Brows har en aningen längre hållbarhet än klassisk microblading. De flesta patienter gör en uppfräschning (touch-up) en gång om året för att behålla färgintensiteten.
