Nano Brows

Nano brows are an advanced semi-permanent eyebrow tattooing technique using an ultra-fine nano-needle to create incredibly precise, hair-like strokes. Unlike traditional microblading which uses a manual blade, nano brows use a digital machine with a single ultra-fine needle, allowing for even more delicate and natural-looking results.

Yes! Nano brows and nano hairstrokes are the same technique—the terms are used interchangeably in the industry. 'Nano brows' is the more widely adopted term, while 'nano hairstrokes' emphasizes the hair-like stroke appearance of the results. You may also see it called nanoblading, machine hairstrokes, or digital microblading. Regardless of the name, it refers to the same ultra-fine needle technique that creates hyper-realistic brow hairs.

The main difference is the tool and technique. Microblading uses a manual blade to create hair strokes, while nano brows use a digital machine with a single ultra-fine needle. Nano brows typically last longer (18-24 months vs 12-18 months), are better for oily skin, heal more gently, and can create even finer, more precise hair strokes.

With our continuous numbing protocol, most clients experience minimal to no discomfort. We apply premium topical numbing cream before the procedure AND continuously reapply throughout the entire session—not just at the start like many other studios. This comprehensive approach means most clients rate their comfort level at 1-2 out of 10, and many are so relaxed they actually fall asleep during their appointment. The sensation is typically described as light pressure rather than pain. Many clients find nano brows even more comfortable than traditional microblading due to the gentler digital technique.

Nano brows typically last 18-24 months, which is longer than traditional microblading. The longevity depends on your skin type, lifestyle, sun exposure, and skincare routine. Oily skin may fade slightly faster, while normal to dry skin retains the pigment longer. Touch-ups are recommended every 12-18 months to maintain fresh, defined brows.

Nano brows are suitable for most people, including those with oily skin who may not be ideal candidates for traditional microblading. They're perfect for anyone wanting natural-looking, defined brows. However, they're not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, those with certain skin conditions, people on Accutane, or those with bleeding disorders.

Nano brows typically heal faster and more gently than traditional microblading. The healing process takes 7-10 days. Initially, brows appear 30-40% darker, then lighten as they heal. You may experience minimal flaking around days 3-5. The true color develops over 4-6 weeks. A touch-up session at 6-8 weeks ensures perfect, long-lasting results.

Absolutely! Nano brows are excellent for filling in sparse, over-plucked, or thinning eyebrows. The ultra-fine hair strokes blend seamlessly with your existing brow hair, creating the appearance of fuller, natural brows. We can recreate brow hair where you have gaps or thin areas, giving you beautifully shaped, full eyebrows.

Nano brows create individual hair-like strokes for a natural, textured look, while powder brows (ombré brows) create a soft, shaded effect similar to brow powder makeup. Nano brows look like real brow hairs, powder brows look like you filled them in with makeup. Many clients choose combo brows, which combine both techniques for the most natural, dimensional result.

Our nano brows start from $750, which includes the initial treatment. A touch-up session 6-8 weeks later is $250. Maintenance touch-ups to keep your brows looking fresh are $350 within 12 months, or $450 within 12-24 months. We offer the best value in Melbourne with premium pigments, expert artists, and two convenient locations.

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil) for 24-48 hours before your appointment. Don't pluck, wax, tint, or thread your eyebrows for one week prior. Avoid sun exposure and chemical peels for 2-3 weeks before. Come with clean skin, no makeup on your brows. Follow our detailed pre-care instructions provided when you book.
