What are Nano Eyebrows?
Nano eyebrows use a digital device with a thin needle. This method makes tiny, detailed strokes that look like real eyebrow hairs. It is softer and looks more natural than microblading.
The process is semi-permanent and gentle on the skin. This means less scarring and damage to the skin.
People with sensitive or older skin find nano brows better because of the light touch used. Also, nano brows can fill your eyebrows beautifully if you have lost hair from overplucking, health issues, or aging.
We let you choose how you want your eyebrows to look, from natural to bold styles.
Why Nanoblading Brows?
Nanoblading gives you precise and natural-looking eyebrows. It uses a tiny needle to draw fine, hair-like lines. This method fits best for people with normal to dry skin types. For those wanting their brows to look full and shaped, nanoblading is a wise choice.
The process lasts longer than other semi-permanent eyebrow treatments. Most clients enjoy their nano brows for a good while before needing a touch-up. This makes it both time-saving and cost-effective in the long run.
Plus, healing takes about 4-8 weeks, which is quick considering how long the results last.
The Procedure Of Nanoblading Eyebrows
After learning why nano-blading brows are a great choice, let’s examine how Sydney Microblading creates the perfect eyebrows.
- The first step is a patch test and consultation to ensure you don’t have allergies to the pigments used in nanoblading.
- Next, you and your artist agree on the shape of your brow. They use their skills to design a shape that matches your features.
- A handheld tattoo tool with a fine needle sketches hair-like strokes on your brows. This tool makes the brows look natural.
- The initial healing process takes between four to six weeks. During this time, follow care instructions closely to get the best results.
- Results from nanoblading can last up to three years. However, touch-ups are suggested every one to two years to keep brows looking fresh.
- The service costs between $1300 and $1500, depending on whether the touch-up is or not.
- There might be discomfort during the procedure, and some people might react to the pigments used.
- Aftercare is crucial for healing and maintaining the eyebrow look. You may need products like Aquaphor, and you should avoid exfoliants near the area until fully healed.
- Retouching sessions help correct any fading and keep your brows looking perfect year-round.
Step One
The first step in getting nano eyebrows is a detailed chat and a look at your brows. Sydney Microblading’s expert, Mimi, will sit down with you to discuss what you want.
She’ll take “before” photos to see the starting point. Then, she begins sketching the shape of your new brows on your face. This part is key for ensuring you agree on the best look that fits your face and style.
After deciding on the shape, it’s time for eyebrow mapping. This means carefully planning where each hair-like stroke will go to ensure everything looks balanced and natural. Mimi uses her skills to design brows that perfectly match your facial symmetry and preferences.
Step Two
After the consultation, your expert will start drawing on your eyebrows. This is where eyebrow mapping comes into play. They use this technique to ensure both brows look even and fit your face shape perfectly.
It’s a bit like creating a blueprint for your new brows.
Next, they apply a numbing gel to help keep you comfortable during the technique. Before moving on, you’ll wait about 20 minutes for it to work its magic. This step ensures that you feel good and relaxed while getting closer to having those perfect nanobrows.
Step Three
Step three prepares your skin for the nano eyebrows. We apply a numbing cream to ensure your comfort, which is crucial for a smooth experience. The cream stays on your skin for about 20 minutes.
Most people say it feels like a light scratch, nothing more.
This cream is excellent for keeping the pain away during tattooing. So, while we add semi-permanent makeup to your brows, you should not feel much. It’s part of what makes getting nano eyebrows easy and almost painless.
Many clients were surprised by how little discomfort they felt throughout their sessions with us.
Step Four
At this point, the artist uses a digital device with a very fine needle. This tool puts small spots of pigment into the skin, each looking like a tiny hair stroke. These strokes fill in thin brows or make them look fuller and more natural.
The process is careful and slow to make sure it looks real.
The person getting their eyebrows done might feel some discomfort. So, a numbing cream is applied to the skin first to make it less painful. After this step, the new brow shape starts to show clearly.
It’s exciting to see how much better the eyebrows look even before they heal fully.
Step Five
At step five, your artist checks the inked areas to ensure they look perfect. Tiny details matter here. They may add fine strokes to fill gaps, ensuring every hair looks natural.
Think of it as the final touch that brings out the best in your brows.
After this check, a soothing agent is applied to your skin. It helps calm any redness and starts healing. You’ll feel good knowing that soon, you’ll see your new brows’ proper shape and color emerge as they heal.
This part feels like magic as you wait for the results to show their full beauty.
Retouching of Nanoblading Brows
Retouching your nanoblading brows is a key step to keep them looking perfect. After the first session, 60% of clients need a touch-up within 5 weeks. This helps fix any spots that didn’t take well or have faded.
For long-lasting beauty, you should plan for maintenance visits every 1.5 years. Some people wait even longer, up to 2.5 years.
The cost for these touch-ups varies by time frame, ranging from $400 to $800. Keeping your appointments on time can prevent extra costs and complications later on.
Regular care ensures your eyebrows stay as beautiful as they were when first done at Sydney Microblading.
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 creates less trauma to the skin, finer and 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 using your bone structure and facial proportions, creating a frame that looks completely natural — even on 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 versus microblading’s 12–18 months, which means the drive from Turramurra, Gordon, Pymble, St Ives, or Wahroonga is a decision you make once 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.
