Healing Process: What to Expect After Nano Brows
A Week-by-Week Guide to Brow Healing, Aftercare, and What’s Normal
If you’re considering Nano Brows or just had your appointment, you might be wondering what the healing journey looks like. At Alchemy Wellness Studio, we provide expert guidance every step of the way to ensure your brows heal beautifully and retain their soft, natural finish.
Here’s a week-by-week breakdown of what to expect during the Nano Brows healing process, plus helpful tips to ensure the best results.
Week 1: Fresh Brows + Mild Sensitivity
Immediately after your appointment, your brows will appear bolder and darker than the final healed result. This is completely normal.
You may experience:
Mild redness or tenderness
Slight swelling
Darkened pigment due to oxidation
Aftercare Tip:Gently blot your brows with a clean tissue the first few hours. Apply the PMU artist–recommended ointment 2–3 times daily to keep the area hydrated.
Week 2: Flaking + Itching Begins
Your brows will start to flake and peel as the skin regenerates. It may look like pigment is falling out—but don’t panic! This is part of the healing process.
You may notice:
Flaking or scabbing
Itchy or tight skin
Lighter brows (this is temporary)
Avoid:
Picking or scratching (this can cause pigment loss)
Applying makeup on the brows
Heavy sweating or steam rooms
Week 3: Color "Ghosting" Phase
This is when your brows may seem to disappear or look too light. This is due to new skin temporarily covering the pigment.
This “ghosting” is a common part of healing and can last several days to a week.
Be Patient:Your color will gradually resurface as your skin settles. Most clients see the true shade return by the end of week 4.
Week 4: Color Comes Back + Shape Softens
Your brows will now begin to reveal their true shape and color—softer, more natural, and fully settled.
If any small patches appear uneven, don’t worry. That’s what your perfection appointment is for.

What to Expect Long-Term
Your Nano Brows will last 12–30 months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare. With proper maintenance and touch-ups, they’ll fade gracefully over time without harsh lines or discoloration.
