What are Nano Eyebrows?
Nano eyebrows, or nanoblading, use a digital device with a very fine needle to deposit small strokes of pigment into the skin, each mimicking a single natural brow hair. Compared to traditional microblading, which uses a manual hand tool, nanoblading is generally gentler on the skin and produces finer, softer strokes, making it a good option for sensitive or mature skin, or for anyone whose brows have thinned from over-plucking, aging, or medical hair loss.
Both natural and bolder styles are possible, shaped to your preference at consultation.
Nano Eyebrows vs. Microblading vs. Combination Brows
Nano, microblading, and combination brows all create hair-stroke style brows, but suit different skin types and goals:
| Nano Eyebrows | Microblading | Combination Brows | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tool | Digital device, ultra-fine needle | Manual hand tool | Manual strokes plus machine shading |
| Best for | Sensitive, mature, or oily skin | Normal to dry skin | Oily skin wanting definition and fullness |
| Stroke look | Very fine, soft, natural | Crisp, defined hair strokes | Hair strokes plus soft shading |
| Price (2 sessions) | $1,299 | $895 (women), $995 (men) | $995 |
| Price (1 session) | $750 | $650 (women), $695 (men) | $750 |

The Nano Eyebrows Procedure
- Consultation and patch test. Mimi checks for pigment sensitivities and discusses your desired shape and style.
- Brow mapping. Your natural brow shape and facial symmetry guide a custom design that is sketched and approved before any pigment is applied.
- Numbing. A numbing cream is applied and left on for about 20 minutes to provide comfort during the procedure.
- Strokes. Using the digital nano device, Mimi deposits fine, hair-like strokes of pigment, working carefully to keep the result looking natural.
- Aftercare guidance. A soothing agent is applied, and you leave with aftercare instructions to support healing.
Most clients describe the sensation as a light scratching, which is well tolerated thanks to the numbing cream.
Healing, Results, and Touch-Ups
Initial healing takes 4 to 6 weeks. During this time, follow aftercare closely, avoid exfoliants and excessive sun on the brow area, and expect the colour to look darker at first before softening.
Results last up to 2 to 3 years, depending on skin type, sun exposure, and skincare routine. Most clients book a touch-up in the 12- to 18-month window: an early touch-up (6 to 12 months) is $550, a standard touch-up (13 to 18 months) is $650, and touch-ups beyond 18 months are priced at the regular session rate.
Nano Eyebrows for Sensitive and Mature Skin
Because the nano device uses a very fine needle and lighter touch than manual microblading, it’s often the better-tolerated option for older or more reactive skin. Clients dealing with thinning brows due to over-plucking, aging, chemotherapy, or alopecia often choose nano eyebrows for this reason.

Frequently Asked Questions About Nano Brows in Sydney
What are nano eyebrows and how are they different from microblading?
Nano eyebrows (also called nanoblading) use a digital machine with a single ultra-fine needle to deposit pigment into the skin in precise, individual hair-stroke patterns. Unlike microblading, which uses a manual blade, the nano technique causes less trauma to the skin, produces finer, more realistic strokes, and tends to last longer — typically 2–3 years compared to microblading’s 12–18 months. Nano brows are suitable for a wider range of skin types, making them Sydney Microblading’s most recommended semi-permanent brow service.
How much do nano eyebrows cost at Sydney Microblading?
Nano eyebrows at Sydney Microblading are $750 for a single session or $1,299 for the two-session package, which includes your initial appointment plus a touch-up within 4–6 weeks. Touch-up maintenance is available from $550 (6–12 months) to $650 (13–18 months). A $150 deposit secures your booking.
Are nano brows a good option for mature women and men with thinning brows?
Nano brows are particularly well suited to mature skin. As we age, brows naturally thin, fade, and lose their shape — and the nano technique is gentle enough for skin that may not tolerate microblading as well. The finer needle creates less disruption to the skin, and the results look incredibly natural on mature faces. Many of Sydney Microblading’s most delighted clients are women and men in their 50s, 60s, and 70s who say nano brows gave them back the confidence they lost as their brows thinned over the years.
Can nano brows fix sparse or over-plucked eyebrows?
Yes — nano brows are one of the most effective solutions for over-plucked, sparse, or asymmetrical brows. Whether you over-plucked in the 90s and your brows never fully recovered, or they have thinned gradually with age or hormonal changes, nano brows rebuild each arch stroke by stroke. Mimi maps your shape based on your bone structure and facial proportions, creating a frame that looks completely natural — even with very sparse brows.
Is it worth traveling from Gordon, Turramurra, or St Ives for nanoblading specifically over microblading?
Honest answer — yes, if longevity is your priority. Nanoblading lasts 2–3 years, compared with microblading’s 12–18 months, which means the drive from Turramurra, Gordon, Pymble, St Ives, or Wahroonga is a decision you make only every few years rather than annually. The extra longevity essentially pays for the travel time many times over. From the Upper North Shore, the studio at 89A West Street, Crows Nest, is roughly 25–35 minutes depending on traffic.
What is the difference between nano brows and powder brows (ombré)?
Nano brows use individual hair-stroke marks to simulate the look of real brow hairs — ideal for a natural, low-makeup finish. Powder brows (ombré) create a soft, shaded gradient that mimics the look of filled-in brows with a pencil or powder product. Combination brows blend both techniques for the best of both worlds. During your consultation, Mimi will help you choose based on your natural brow density, skin type, and preferred finish.
How long does it take for nano brows to heal?
Nano brows go through a 4–6 week healing process. In the first week, brows will look darker and more defined than expected — this is normal. Around days 7–14, the top layer of skin flakes away, and brows may appear lighter or even patchy. By weeks 3–4 pigment resurfaces and softens, and by week 5–6 you will see the true settled colour. This is why a touch-up is booked within 4–6 weeks — to refine any areas that need attention after the full heal.
