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.
A clinic full of expertise
Tattooing hair strokes onto the face requires a keen eye for form, an understanding of colour chemistry, and a thorough knowledge of skin physiology. At The Faculty in Stockholm, your treatment is carried out exclusively by experts who are formally certified in advanced permanent make-up. By working in a safe, clinical environment, we ensure that you receive safe and professional care from your initial consultation to your final follow-up appointment.

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?
This method is intended for healthy individuals over the age of 18. A major advantage of nanotechnology is that, unlike manual microblading, it works extremely well on virtually all skin types, including oily skin, with a very low risk of the pigment bleeding. However, we do not perform the treatment on patients with active eczema in the eyebrows, autoimmune diseases, a tendency to develop severe keloid scars, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Our clinics
The Faculty combines medical safety with a welcoming environment. Our state-of-the-art clinic at Hangövägen 20 is one of the few plastic surgery clinics in Sweden that is built to proper hospital standards. For skin care and injection treatments, you are welcome to visit our walk-in clinic at Humlegårdsgatan 14 in central Stockholm. All operations are based on medical expertise and proven experience to offer a safe process from the first visit to the last follow-up.
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?
This is the most common question patients ask when choosing a method. Microblading uses a manual hand tool with a small blade to etch, or cut, the pigment into the skin. Nano Brows uses a digital machine with a needle that quickly deposits the pigment without cutting. The nano-needle causes less trauma to the skin, results in less bleeding and produces hair strokes that remain sharper over time, particularly on oily skin.
When I’m deciding between nano brows and microblading, which should I choose if I have oily skin?
If you have oily skin, large pores or skin that bleeds easily, you should definitely opt for Nano Brows (or the Powder Brows shading technique). This is because microblading on oily skin has a strong physiological tendency to expand, causing the strokes to spread and become blurred during the healing process. The machine technique (nano) is much more stable.
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?
The colour usually lasts between one and three years before it fades. As the machine technique often applies the pigment slightly more evenly than manual tools, many people find that Nano Brows last slightly longer than traditional microblading. Most patients have a touch-up once a year to maintain the colour intensity.
