What are Nano Brows?
The nano technique for brows is a more advanced semi-permanent makeup method that creates incredibly fine and precise hair-like strokes to enhance the natural appearance of eyebrows. Using a specialised nanoneedle, the technician deposits pigment into the skin with exceptional accuracy, allowing for ultra-fine lines that mimic the look of natural hair.
This technique is ideal for individuals with sparse or uneven brows or brows that require a fuller bolder look, as it adds depth and definition while maintaining a soft, natural finish. The nano technique offers excellent longevity, with minimal discomfort and a quick healing process, nano technique brows provide a beautifully defined look that enhances your facial features without the need for daily makeup application.
Discover everything you need to know about Nano Brows in this complete guide! From the procedure and healing journey to FAQs and stunning before-and-after transformations, we cover it all to help give you all the information so you will be one step closer to getting your dream brows.
Intake
During the intake, we discuss your preferences and expectations. We carefully assess your facial structure, skin type, bone structure, and natural brow shape. Based on this analysis, we provide a tailored recommendation to achieve the most natural and flattering result for you.
Sketch
Once the initial intake is complete, we meticulously measure and map out your brows to achieve symmetry and the perfect shape. The design is drawn directly onto your skin, allowing you to visualise the final result before the procedure begins. Our goal is to enhance your natural beauty while maintaining a soft, realistic appearance.
Procedure
The procedure begins only after you approve the sketch. Nano Brows involves creating ultra-fine, precise hair-like strokes resulting in a hyper-realistic effect. The area is numbed with topical lidocaine to minimise discomfort - the process is generally well-tolerated.
Aftercare
Immediately after the treatment, the pigment will appear darker, but it will lighten as the healing process progresses. The colour will naturally fade, and during the second session, we refine and enhance the brows for optimal results. You will be given more detailed instructions on how to care for them at home.

How are nano brows achieved?
Nano brows are achieved using a specialised technique that involves a fine needle to create precise, hair-like strokes in the eyebrow area. The process begins with a consultation to discuss your desired brow shape and colour. On the day of the procedure, the technician cleans the area and applies a numbing cream to ensure comfort. Using a “nano” needle, pigment is carefully deposited into the skin, creating ultra-fine strokes that mimic natural hair. This method allows for exceptional detail and a soft, natural finish.
How long will the procedure take?
From start to finish, the nano brow procedure typically takes about 2 to 3 hours. This includes an initial consultation to discuss your desired brow shape and color, followed by the preparation of the brow area, which involves cleaning and applying a numbing cream for comfort. Once you're ready, the technician will begin with the procedure. After the pigment application, the technician will make any necessary adjustments to ensure the final result meets your expectations. The entire process allows for meticulous detail and precision, resulting in beautifully defined brows.
How long will my nano brows last?
Nano brows will typically last between 1 to 3 years, depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and adherence to aftercare instructions. Oily skin may cause the pigment to fade more quickly, while drier skin types often retain the colour longer. Factors like sun exposure, skincare routines, and certain medications can also affect the longevity of the pigment. To maintain the vibrancy and definition of your nano brows, many clients choose to schedule touch-up appointments every 6 to 12 months, which help refresh the colour and ensure that the brows continue to look their best over time.
Is it painful?
The nano brow procedure is generally not very painful, as a numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize discomfort. It is often described as feeling only mild sensations during the treatment similar to a slight tingling or scratching feeling when the fine nano needle deposits pigment into the skin. Overall, pain tolerance varies from person to person, but many find the experience manageable and worth the beautiful, natural results that nano brows provide.
Are there any side effects?
Nano brows can cause mild and temporary side effects, typically including slight swelling, redness, and tenderness in the brow area right after the procedure, which usually resolves within a few days. Some clients may also experience flaking or peeling as the skin heals. In rare instances, allergic reactions to the pigment or infections can occur if aftercare instructions aren't followed. However, working with a qualified technician, such as Amelia, and adhering to aftercare guidelines greatly reduces the risk of complications, allowing you to enjoy your enhanced brows with minimal issues.
Are nano brows suitable for me?
Nano brows may be suitable for you if you're looking to enhance the shape and fullness of your eyebrows with a natural appearance. This technique is particularly beneficial for individuals with sparse or uneven brows, as it creates realistic, hair-like strokes. However, it's essential to consider any specific skin conditions, allergies to pigments, or active infections, as these may affect your candidacy. Pregnant or nursing individuals might also be advised to wait before undergoing the procedure. Booking a consultation with our qualified technician will help you assess your individual needs and determine if nano brows are the right choice for you
Nano, Powder or Combi Brows?
Choosing between Nano, Powder, or Combi Brows depends on your desired look and skin type:
Nano Brows: Perfect for those seeking ultra-natural, fine, and precise hair-like strokes. This technique creates a realistic, feathered appearance and is ideal for individuals with thin or sparse brows. It works well on all skin types, including oily skin, and provides a delicate, natural finish.
Powder Brows: Best for those who prefer a soft, filled-in, makeup-like effect. Powder Brows offer a more defined and bolder look compared to Nano or Combi Brows. They are especially suited for oily or mature skin, as the shading technique holds up better in these types. Powder Brows give a polished, made-up appearance without the need for daily makeup.
Combi Brows: Ideal for those who want a mix of natural hair strokes and soft shading. They provide both definition and fullness, making them perfect for people with sparse brows who want a natural yet structured look. Combi Brows are suitable for most skin types, including normal and slightly oily skin.
In summary, for a hyper-realistic, hair-like finish, Nano Brows are the best choice. If you prefer a softer, more filled-in look, Powder Brows may be right for you. For a natural yet defined appearance, Combi Brows offer the perfect balance.
