Fluffy, Natural, and Life-Changing

Losing Brows to Alopecia? You Have Options.

Losing your brows due to alopecia can be more than just a cosmetic concern—it’s an emotional challenge that impacts confidence and self-expression. While there are many brow solutions out there, two stand out as the most natural, long-lasting, and skin-friendly: Nano Machine Brows and Combo Brows. DAELA Master Artists are skilled and compassionate when providing cosmetic tattoo services for all paramedical reasons and all clients are treated with respect, kindness, and compassion. Explore Machine Nano Brows and Combo Brows, featuring a beautiful DAELA client, with Taylin Perkins of DAELA Portland.

Why Nano Machine Brows?

Nano brows are an advanced machine technique that uses an ultra-fine needle to create incredibly realistic, fluffy hair strokes. This technique is ideal for those with little to no natural brow hair because it provides a hyper-realistic, soft, and natural look without the risks associated with traditional microblading.

• Unlike microblading, nano brows are gentler on the skin, making them perfect for sensitive or delicate skin types.
• Each stroke is precisely placed to mimic the natural direction of hair growth, blending seamlessly for a full and effortless appearance.
• Nano brows offer better pigment retention than microblading, with a softer fade over time for long-lasting results.

Why Combo Brows Might Be the Right Choice for You

If you have alopecia and want more definition than nano strokes alone can provide, combo brows are another fantastic option. This technique combines nano hair strokes with soft shading, adding more fullness and structure for a perfectly sculpted look. With Combo Brows both the hairlike strokes and shading are applied with a delicate machine as the most viable and remarkable options for achieving brow perfection.

• Ideal for those who prefer a slightly more filled-in appearance while still maintaining a natural aesthetic.
• Offers the best of both worlds: natural-looking hair strokes with added density from the soft shading.
• Works well for all skin types, including oily or combination skin, which may not retain nano strokes as well.

The Confidence Boost You Deserve

Whether you choose nano brows or combo brows, the results can be truly life changing. Beautifully shaped brows enhance facial symmetry, restore expression, and boost self-confidence. Many clients say they feel like themselves again after getting their brows done—no more worrying about drawing them on daily or hiding hair loss with makeup.

Long-Lasting, Low-Maintenance Beauty

• Nano brows and combo brows both offer exceptional retention.
• No need for daily brow pencils or powders—wake up with perfect brows every day!

Is Extra After Care Involved for those with Alopecia?

Yes, people with alopecia may require a bit more aftercare following a nano brows or combo brows procedure. Since their skin often lacks natural brow hair and may be more delicate, extra care is needed to ensure optimal healing and pigment retention. Here’s what to consider:

1. Extended Healing Time & Skin Sensitivity

• Without natural brow hair, the skin is more directly exposed to environmental factors, making it slightly more sensitive.
• Some individuals with alopecia may experience a slower healing process, so patience and proper aftercare are key.

2. Extra Hydration & Barrier Protection

• Because the skin lacks natural brow hair (which typically helps regulate moisture and oil), keeping the area hydrated with an approved ointment is essential.
• A thin layer of a healing balm (as recommended by your artist) should be applied consistently to prevent excessive dryness or scabbing.

3. Avoiding Excessive Pigment Loss

• Alopecia-affected skin may not retain pigment as effectively as regular skin, meaning extra caution is needed during healing.
• Clients should avoid excessive washing, sweating, or rubbing the brows to prevent premature pigment loss.

4. Sun Protection Is a Must

• Since the brows don’t have natural hair to provide UV protection, sun exposure can fade the pigment more quickly.
• Clients should apply SPF (once fully healed) and wear a hat or large sunglasses when in the sun.

5. Possible Need for a Slightly Different Touch-Up Schedule

• Some alopecia clients may need an extra touch-up session to ensure full pigment retention.
• Your artist will evaluate healing at your touch-up appointment (usually 6-8 weeks post-procedure) and may recommend adjustments to improve longevity.

For those with alopecia, nano machine brows and combo brows aren’t just beauty treatments—they’re confidence-restoring solutions. Whether you prefer delicate hair strokes or a softly shaded finish, there’s a perfect option for you.
