Nano Brows
Do you want naturally defined eyebrows? Then consider nano brows! Unlike microblading, nano brow technique is less invasive. This technique creates tiny hair-like strokes that look like your own, naturally full brows. Nano brows are perfect for anyone looking to reshape, define and fill gaps in their brows, as well as those who want to have the fluffy eyebrow look. To achieve the eyebrow shape of your dreams, schedule an appointment with us today!
How do powder brows differ from Microblading and Nano Brows?
Powder brows, microblading and nano brows are both cosmetic tattoo techniques, but they differ in the way they achieve their results.
Microblading involves using a handheld tool with a group of tiny needles to create hair-like strokes on the skin, mimicking the appearance of natural eyebrow hairs. The result is a more defined, precise brow with individual hair-like strokes.
On the other hand, powder brows involve creating a soft, powdered effect by depositing pigment into the skin in a stippling motion. This technique results in a more natural-looking brow, without the individual hair strokes.
While both techniques can produce beautiful results, powder brows may be considered better than microblading for a few reasons:
Longer lasting: Powder brows can last up to two to three years, while microblading typically lasts between 6-18 months.
Better for oily or sensitive skin: Microblading is not recommended for oily or sensitive skin types, as the technique can cause irritation and the pigment may not hold as well. Powder brows are a better option for those with oily or sensitive skin, as the technique is gentler and the pigment is deposited more shallowly.
More versatile: Powder brows are more versatile than microblading, as the technique can be customized to achieve a range of styles and densities, from a soft, natural look to a more dramatic, filled-in brow.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Nano Brows is a unique form of hair stroke eyebrow tattooing that is used to add more density to existing eyebrows or to give the appearance of natural brows. The technique requires two appointments to complete and uses a specialized machine with a single nanoneedle to implant pigment into the skin, forming tiny pixels that connect together and mimic real hair strokes. Unlike microblading, NANO is done using one needle rather than multiple needles which creates a more delicate feathery look. The pigment is implanted into the dermal junction so it will fade over time yet still appear natural looking.

Nano Brows have quickly become the most sought-after brow procedure due to their ability to provide stunning results in a more gentle way, with less risk of scarring involved. Nano is an ideal choice for those with oilier, combination skin as well as those with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick 5 & 6) that often do not heal as well through microblading alone. Additionally, nano brows are much less painful and involve no bleeding, while still achieving natural-looking hairlike strokes that last longer than traditional microblading.

When getting your brows done with Nano Brows, some discomfort is to be expected, but it is usually quite minimal. It is less painful than microblading because raher than cutting the skin, our specialized machine uses a single needle that quickly enters and exits the skin, creating connective pixels to make each hair stroke. To help reduce pain even further, a topical anesthetic is used. Some clients even fall asleep during their appointment!

We will evaluate your skin type and undertone, facial structure, natural brow hair growth pattern and face shape. Based on all these factors as well as any preferences you have stated, we develop a natural and flattering shape for your brows our measurement method plus our experienced eye.

Creating your dream eyebrows is a two-part journey - an initial appointment and a follow-up or perfecting session 8-12 weeks later. The first session of Nano Brows is $550. The second session, which is the prefecting session is $150. After the perfecting session, you can expect your newly shaped brows to last anywhere from 1.5 to 2 years!
-
Are touchups necessary for a brow procedure? Absolutely! After your initial session of nano brows, you will come back in 8-12 weeks later for a touchup. This is where we assess how the pigment has taken and any fading since the first session. Touchups allow us to make adjustments to the shape, size, and color of your brows to achieve the desired look. We can also add depth, or recreate strokes that have faded away. If you don't get your follow-up appointment, your brows could fade faster than anticipated, so it is advisable to book this session to ensure the longevity of the results.
-
Aftercare for your brows is of utmost importance to ensure the best results. Directly following your procedure, avoid the followings:
- direct sun exposure for 2 weeks
- excessive sweating for 2 weeks
- makeup on the brows or facial treatments for 2 weeks
- botox for 2 weeks
- laser treatments, chemical peels, and microneedling for 30 days
For long-term care, make sure to protect your brows from direct sunlight with an SPF. Additionally, you’ll want to be careful when using products that contain active ingredients such as acids and retinol. You should also plan on touch-ups every one or two years in order to maintain great results. For detailed instructions on care prior and post the Nano Brow session, please read here.
