NanoBrows for Oily Skin & Mature Skin
Why Skin Type Matters in Permanent Makeup Eyebrow Results
Skin type plays a critical role in how permanent makeup heals, retains pigment, and ages over time. Oily skin and mature skin, in particular, require specialized technique and conservative planning to avoid blurring, patchiness, or long-term skin damage.
This education page explains why NanoBrows are better suited for oily and mature skin, how results differ by skin type, and what realistic expectations look like.
Why Oily & Mature Skin Require Special Consideration
Both oily and mature skin behave differently than dry or youthful skin:
Oily Skin Characteristics
Larger pores
Increased sebum production
Faster skin cell turnover
Greater pigment dispersion risk
Mature Skin Characteristics
Thinner epidermis
Reduced elasticity
Slower healing response
Increased sensitivity to trauma
Because PMU relies on controlled pigment implantation, technique selection is critical for these skin types.
Why Microblading Is Not Ideal for Oily or Mature Skin
Microblading uses a manual blade that creates cuts in the skin. In oily or mature skin, this often leads to:
Blurred or merged hair strokes
Poor pigment retention
Increased risk of scarring
Uneven healing
Loss of stroke definition over time
For these reasons, microblading is rarely appropriate for oily or mature skin and is not our recommended approach.

Why NanoBrows Are Better for Oily Skin
NanoBrows use a single, ultra-fine needle with machine-controlled depth and speed, which is especially important for oily skin.
Benefits for Oily Skin
Less trauma to enlarged pores
Reduced pigment spreading
Better control over depth
More even healing
Softer, more natural fading
While oily skin may still experience faster fading than dry skin, NanoBrows provide far more predictable results.
What Oily Skin Clients Should Expect
It is important to set realistic expectations.
For oily skin:
Hair strokes may appear softer rather than crisp
Results may fade faster than other skin types
Touch-ups may be needed more frequently
The goal is natural enhancement, not ultra-sharp strokes.
Why NanoBrows Are Safer for Mature Skin
Mature skin is more delicate and less forgiving of trauma.
NanoBrows are preferred because they:
Avoid cutting or slicing the skin
Minimize inflammatory response
Reduce risk of long-term texture changes
Heal more gently and evenly
Controlled implantation preserves skin integrity, which is essential for aging skin.
What Mature Skin Clients Should Expect
For mature skin:
Results are softer and more natural
Hair strokes may be lighter in appearance
Healing may take slightly longer
Conservative pigment density is essential
Subtle enhancement is safer and ages better than bold strokes.
Technique Adjustments for Oily & Mature Skin
To protect the skin and results, NanoBrows for these skin types typically involve:
Lighter pigment saturation
Slower, more controlled passes
Strategic stroke placement
Avoidance of oversaturation
These adjustments support healthy healing and long-term appearance.
Longevity & Maintenance Considerations
For oily and mature skin:
Pigment may fade more quickly
Maintenance appointments may be needed sooner
Gradual refreshes are preferred over heavy re-implantation
NanoBrows are designed to fade gracefully, allowing adjustments as skin changes over time.

Aftercare Is Especially Important for These Skin Types
Oily and mature skin are more sensitive to:
Excess moisture
Friction
Sun exposure
Active skincare products
Strict adherence to aftercare guidelines is essential for best results.
Denver-Specific Considerations
In Denver’s high-altitude, dry climate:
Oily skin may still be dehydrated underneath
Mature skin may feel tighter during healing
UV exposure can accelerate fading
Hydration, sun protection, and gentle skincare are especially important.
