Machine hair strokes for naturally defined eyebrows
Would you like to fill gaps in your eyebrows and recreate individual hairs? With machine hair stroke permanent makeup, Olga Keller plans and pigments fine lines following your natural hair growth. At Kosmetikinstitut Expert in Berlin Mitte, you discuss the shape, shade and desired density with her personally. The current price of 350 € includes consultation, pre-drawing and one touch-up.
This page focuses on machine hair strokes, also called Machine Hair or Machine Hairstrokes. Olga uses a pigmentation device with a needle cartridge. Carefully guided lines create a hair-like pattern that can complement your existing brows. Terms such as Nanobrows are also used in the industry; what matters is the actual technique and individual planning.
In Microblading, hair strokes are created with a manual handpiece and blade. Machine Hair uses an electrically powered pigmentation device. Both methods can aim for a natural hair-like look. The tool alone, however, guarantees neither fewer skin reactions nor a particular lifespan.
Fine strokes may appeal to people who want to fill individual areas and prefer subtle definition. With oily or large-pored skin, scars or existing permanent makeup, Olga assesses the options individually. Machine strokes can also soften over time. For a more even, powdery finish, Powder Brows may be an option; our eyebrow permanent makeup overview helps you compare techniques.
The following examples show changes in eyebrow shape and density. A photo alone cannot reliably identify the technique used. During your consultation, Olga explains which method may suit your desired look.
Hair-stroke design involves more than the outer shape. The direction, spacing and length of the drawn lines also influence how natural a brow looks. Olga Keller uses her many years of experience to examine existing hairs and small gaps. She discusses where additions may help, how the arch should flow and which shade complements your skin and hair. The choice of technique depends on your starting point and the look you want.
Olga offers a modern addition to this traditional approach: at your request, she uses her own AI-assisted software to illustrate possible brow shapes, shades and techniques. For hair strokes, the focus is on subtle added fullness. The preview can help you discuss a slightly longer tail or a softer arch together before the shape is drawn on your skin.
You can choose a fully traditional consultation. Olga gives the same careful attention to shape, colour and technique. An AI preview supports the conversation; her professional assessment and the outline you approve together remain the foundation of treatment.
Olga Keller works with you personally from the first consultation through to the touch-up. Her many years of experience help her coordinate hair direction, proportions and colour. A suitable brow shape takes your face’s natural differences into account and is pre-drawn with your input.
Olga assesses your existing brow hairs, skin condition and any previous pigmentation. You discuss the shape and shade you want; the optional digital preview can help if needed. The shape is then drawn on your skin and agreed together.
Using the pigmentation device, Olga creates individual strokes following the natural direction of hair growth. She works gradually and checks the lines throughout the treatment. Sensations vary; breaks and possible pain-relief measures are discussed beforehand.
You receive personal aftercare instructions. The colour may look stronger immediately after pigmentation; the result is assessed after healing. The touch-up usually after 4–6 weeks, included in the package, allows Olga to check the result and add to individual areas if needed.
We agree the exact touch-up date individually during your consultation and after treatment. We take healing, your availability and personal circumstances into account, and arrange a different date with you if needed.
A new hair stroke treatment currently costs 350 € instead of 450 €. This includes consultation, colour selection, pre-drawing, the initial pigmentation and one touch-up usually after 4–6 weeks. Allow around 90 minutes. Any additional work on previous pigmentation by another practitioner is discussed beforehand.
Find us at Heinrich-Heine-Straße 62D, 10179 Berlin Mitte. If your existing work has faded, our eyebrow permanent makeup touch-up page explains the individual assessment.
Even carefully performed machine pigmentation is not risk-free. Irritation, swelling, infections, allergic reactions and changes in colour or lines can occur. We use quality pigments compliant with REACH and sterile single-use cartridges. Known allergies and previous reactions are discussed in advance.
We do not pigment inflamed, injured or acutely affected skin in the treatment area. We postpone treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Medical advice may be needed for illnesses, healing or clotting problems, a tendency to scar, or medication use. Moles and unusual skin changes in the brow area are discussed before planning.
Tell us in good time about medication, recent cosmetic treatments and existing permanent makeup. Do not stop prescribed medication on your own. Olga adapts preparation and aftercare to your circumstances. Avoid further irritation and do not pick scabs. Seek medical assessment for increasing redness, pain or other unusual symptoms.

Personal consultationWith the machine hair stroke technique described here, Olga Keller uses a pigmentation device with a needle cartridge. Microblading creates lines with a manual handpiece and blade. Both can aim for a hair-like look, but their tools and methods differ. Read more about the manual method on our Microblading page.
Hair strokes emphasise individual drawn lines. Powder Brows create soft, even shading. The effect best suited to your wishes and skin is discussed personally; a combination may also be considered.
Colour changes vary from person to person. Skin condition, UV exposure, aftercare and existing pigmentation influence fading. A refresh is planned according to the actual condition; residual pigment may remain visible for longer.
Sensations vary. You may feel scratching, pressure or irritation. Olga discusses breaks and suitable pain-relief measures where appropriate. A completely pain-free treatment cannot be promised.
A new treatment currently costs 350 € instead of 450 €. Consultation, pre-drawing, initial pigmentation and one touch-up usually after 4–6 weeks are included. Any additional work on previous pigmentation by another practitioner is discussed in advance.
This requires individual assessment. On oily or large-pored skin, machine-pigmented lines can also soften over time. Skin condition, pore structure and previous pigmentation help determine whether strokes, shading or a combination make sense.
Olga supports you from consultation and pre-drawing through to pigmentation and the touch-up. Her many years of experience with brow shapes and colour selection inform your individual plan.
Allow around 90 minutes. This includes consultation, selecting the shape and colour, pre-drawing and pigmentation. The time needed may vary individually.
The colour may initially appear darker than after healing. Redness, swelling or small scabs are possible. Leave enough time before important events and follow your personal aftercare instructions.
Once the skin has healed, pigment retention and the line pattern are easier to assess. At the touch-up, Olga reviews the result with you and adds to individual areas if needed.
Tell Olga beforehand about illnesses, allergies, medication, recent skin treatments and existing permanent makeup. Do not come for pigmentation with inflamed or injured skin. Do not stop prescribed medication on your own.
Follow your individual aftercare instructions and do not scratch off flakes or scabs. Avoid additional irritation and discuss cosmetics and skincare with Olga. Increasing redness, pain or other unusual symptoms should be assessed by a medical professional.
Strenuous activity, sweating and friction can irritate freshly treated skin. How long you should pause depends on healing and your personal aftercare instructions.
Discuss travel plans when booking your appointment. Sun exposure, swimming and saunas can make aftercare more difficult. Allow enough time for healing and the touch-up.
At Kosmetikinstitut Expert, we postpone pigmentation during pregnancy and breastfeeding. A later consultation can clarify when treatment may be suitable for you.
Yes. Pigments can fade, change in colour appearance or lose definition. REACH-compliant pigments and careful work do not completely rule out these changes or individual reactions.
Olga first assesses the shape, colour, depth and density of the existing pigmentation. Reworking it with fine strokes is not always appropriate. Sometimes another correction or removal needs professional assessment before proceeding.
Your natural brow hair is considered during planning. Pigmentation is not a treatment to promote hair growth. Skin irritation or complications are possible and are discussed during the consultation.
No. The digital preview is optional. Olga also offers a traditional consultation. Her personal assessment, the shape drawn on your skin and your approval of the design remain the basis of treatment.
Use our online booking to choose a consultation or suitable treatment appointment. Mention that you are interested in machine hair strokes; the final technique is agreed personally.
