Nano Brows MelbourneUltra-Fine Precision from $750

Nano brows use an ultra-fine nano needle attached to a digital machine to create hair-like strokes, while microblading uses a manual handheld blade. Nano brows create finer, more precise strokes with less trauma to the skin, making them ideal for all skin types including oily skin. The results are crisper and last longer (18-24 months vs. 12-18 months for microblading).

At MDBrows, nano brows cost $750 for the initial session, which includes consultation, custom design, numbing, the nano brows procedure, and aftercare kit. A perfection touch-up 6–8 weeks later is $250 (not included). After that, a refresh touch-up is priced by how long it's been since your last visit — $350 within 12 months, $450 within 12–24 months. There's no yearly schedule; you simply come back when the colour fades. Total investment for the first year is $1,000 ($750 initial + $250 perfection touch-up).

Yes! Nano brows are significantly better for oily skin than traditional microblading. The nano needle creates more precise incisions that heal better in oily skin, resulting in crisper strokes that don't blur as quickly. The digital machine also provides better control and consistency than manual blades. If you have oily or combination skin, nano brows are the best choice for long-lasting, sharp results.

Nano brows typically last 18-24 months, which is longer than traditional microblading (12-18 months). The longevity depends on your skin type, lifestyle, aftercare, and sun exposure. Oily skin may experience slightly faster fading, while dry skin retains pigment longer. An occasional refresh touch-up when the colour fades helps maintain vibrant color and crisp strokes.

No, nano brows typically hurt less than microblading! The nano needle creates smaller, more precise incisions with less trauma to the skin. We also use topical numbing cream throughout the procedure. Most clients rate nano brows as 2-3 out of 10 on the pain scale - similar to light scratching or threading. The digital machine's controlled precision actually makes it more comfortable than manual blade techniques.

Nano brows heal similarly to microblading over 4-6 weeks. Initial scabbing and flaking occur in days 7-10. Brows appear 30-40% darker initially, then lighten during healing. True color emerges after 4 weeks. The healing process may be slightly gentler than microblading due to less skin trauma. Follow strict aftercare for 7-10 days: keep dry, no sweating, no makeup, no picking scabs.

Yes, nano brows are actually ideal for mature or thin skin! The nano needle creates minimal trauma compared to manual blades, making it gentler on delicate skin. The precision of the digital machine allows for more controlled application, which is perfect for aging skin that may have lost elasticity. Nano brows are the preferred technique for clients over 50 or those with thin, sensitive skin.

Nano brows and nano microblading are the same technique - both use an ultra-fine nano needle to create hair-like strokes. The term 'nano microblading' combines terminology but refers to the same process. Some artists use 'nano microblading' to emphasize they're creating microblading-style strokes with a nano needle instead of manual blade. The result is the same: ultra-fine, precise, natural hair strokes.

Initial results are visible immediately after your session, but brows will appear 30-40% darker than the final result. True color emerges at 4 weeks after initial healing. However, you won't see your absolute final results until after your 6-8 week touch-up appointment heals (another 4-6 weeks). So full, final results are typically visible 10-14 weeks (2.5-3.5 months) from your initial appointment.

Yes, you can get nano brows over existing microblading, but timing matters. If your microblading is very faded (1+ years old), we can usually work over it. If it's still saturated or dark, we may need to lighten it first or wait for more fading. Dark, heavily saturated old work may require removal before nano brows. Book a consultation so we can assess your existing work and recommend the best approach.

For oily skin: Nano brows only (hair strokes) or combo brows (nano strokes + powder shading) for best retention. For dry/normal skin: Nano brows, microblading, or combo brows all work well - choose based on preference. For mature/thin skin: Nano brows (gentler than manual blades). For very sparse brows: Combo brows (nano strokes + shading for fullness). Book a consultation and we'll assess your skin and recommend the perfect technique.

Nano brows are not suitable for everyone. You should avoid or postpone the procedure if you are: pregnant or breastfeeding; currently taking or recently finished Accutane (isotretinoin) — wait at least 6 months after stopping; on blood-thinning medications such as warfarin (consult your doctor); prone to keloid or hypertrophic scarring; undergoing chemotherapy or radiation; have active skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, or infection) in the brow area; have diabetes that is not well-controlled; or have had Botox or filler in the forehead area within the last 4 weeks. We review your full medical history at every consultation.

For the best nano brows results: avoid alcohol, caffeine, aspirin, ibuprofen, and fish oil for 24–48 hours before your session (these thin the blood and can cause more bleeding and poor pigment retention). Do not wax, thread, tint, or dye your brows for at least one week before. Avoid retinol, AHAs, or chemical exfoliants near the brow area for one week prior. Stay out of prolonged sun or avoid sunburn in the brow area for 2–3 weeks before. Come to your appointment with clean skin and no brow makeup. Eat beforehand to keep blood sugar stable.

Nano brows aftercare for the first 7–10 days: keep brows completely dry (no water, steam, or sweat on the area); do not exercise or do anything that causes heavy sweating; do not apply makeup near the brows; do not pick, peel, or scratch any flaking or scabbing — this removes pigment and causes patchiness; sleep on a clean pillowcase; avoid direct sun exposure and apply SPF when outdoors. From week 2 onwards, you can resume gentle skincare but avoid retinol and AHAs over the brow area until fully healed (4–6 weeks). Schedule your 6–8 week touch-up to perfect the result.

A nano eyebrow (or nano brow) refers to a semi-permanent eyebrow tattoo created using a single ultra-fine nano needle attached to a digital machine. The needle draws individual hair-like strokes into the upper skin layers, replicating the look of natural eyebrow hairs. The term 'nano' refers to the needle's extremely fine gauge — finer than the multi-blade tool used in microblading. The result is a natural, hair-stroke brow enhancement that lasts 18–24 months.

Nanoblading (nano brows) is generally considered an advancement over microblading — it achieves the same natural hair-stroke result with a finer needle, less skin trauma, and better pigment retention on oily skin. For dry to normal skin types, the two techniques are comparable. For oily skin, nanoblading clearly outperforms microblading, as the digital needle's precision holds pigment more consistently in sebum-rich skin. Nanoblading also tends to last slightly longer (18–24 months vs 12–18 months). Both are excellent choices; your skin type is the deciding factor.

Yes — nano brows are a clinically proven cosmetic tattooing technique with excellent results documented across thousands of clients. The nano needle deposits pigment precisely into the upper dermis, where it integrates into the skin and gradually fades over 18–24 months. Results look natural from the day of healing, are waterproof, gym-proof, and sweat-proof, and hold their hair-like appearance significantly longer than microblading on oily skin types. The key to good results is choosing an experienced, certified artist and following the aftercare instructions during the healing period.
