If you’ve had permanent makeup (PMU) in the past and are now ready for soft, natural-looking Nano Brows, you may need to take one important step first: Brow Rehab.
What Is Brow Rehab?
Brow Rehab is a PMU lightening/removal treatment that fades old pigment from previous brow work. Over time, pigments can shift into unwanted tones like reds, blues, or grays—especially if low-quality products were used. Old brows may also have shapes that no longer flatter your face.
Instead of layering new pigment on top (which often leads to overly dark, blocky brows), Brow Rehab clears the canvas so your new Nano Brows can look fresh, natural, and long-lasting.
Why a Clean Slate Matters Before Nano Brows
- Corrects old tones – Faded pigments can distort new color if not lightened first.
- Resets shape – Outdated or uneven brows shouldn’t limit your artist’s design.
- Prevents oversaturation – Skin that’s already packed with pigment won’t hold new strokes well.
- Improves retention – Healthy, pigment-free skin allows Nano Brows to heal beautifully and last longer.
What to Expect During Brow Rehab
- Minimum of three treatments is usually required; some clients may need more, depending on how saturated the old pigment is.
- Gradual fading occurs over multiple sessions for safe and effective results.
- Healing time between sessions is essential to protect the skin and ensure progress.
The Payoff: Flawless Nano Brows
Committing to Brow Rehab may take extra time, but it’s the key to achieving the best Nano Brows possible. By starting with a clean slate, your artist can design brows that truly suit your face—without interference from old pigment.
The result? Brows that look natural, balanced, and beautiful for years to come.
