If you're tired of filling in your eyebrows every day, semi-permanent brows could change everything. From Nano Brows to Powder Brows, these treatments give you fuller, more defined brows that last for months — sometimes years. But before you book in Bristol, here's everything you need to know.
What Are Semi-Permanent Brows?
Semi-permanent brows are cosmetic tattooing treatments that implant pigment into the upper layers of skin to enhance the shape, fullness, and definition of your eyebrows. Unlike traditional tattoos, the pigment is placed more superficially, allowing it to fade naturally over time — typically 12–24 months.
Types of Semi-Permanent Brow Treatments
Nano Brows
The most advanced technique. A digital machine creates ultra-fine hair strokes. Best for: natural, realistic brows.
Powder / Ombré Brows
A shading technique for a soft makeup effect. Best for: defined, filled-in look. See Ombré Brows →
Combination Brows
Hair strokes + shading. Best for: natural texture with added density.
Microblading
Manual blade technique. Still available but increasingly replaced by Nano Brows as the more advanced option.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
The Healing Process
After treatment, brows may appear darker initially. Light flaking can occur around days 4–7 — don't pick. Colour softens over 4–6 weeks, revealing the true final result. A top-up appointment at 6–8 weeks perfects any areas and ensures long-lasting, even results.
How Long Do Semi-Permanent Brows Last?
Results typically last 12–24 months, depending on skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and how well you follow aftercare. Regular top-ups every 12–18 months help maintain shape and colour. Nano Brows in particular are known for retaining pigment beautifully over time.
Who Are They Suitable For?
Semi-permanent brows are ideal if you have sparse or uneven brows, want to save time on daily makeup, struggle to create a consistent brow shape, or simply want long-lasting results. A consultation will determine your suitability and help you choose the right technique.
You may need to delay treatment if you are pregnant, have active skin conditions in the brow area, or are undergoing certain medical treatments. Your consultation will cover all of this before any commitment is made.
