Nano Brows – The Cutting Edge of Brow Artistry

Nano Brows represent the evolution of eyebrow enhancement, marrying precision with versatility. Unlike Microblading’s manual approach, Nano Brows employ a digital machine equipped with a singular, fine needle. This advancement allows for a broader range of styles – from natural to more pronounced looks. It’s a canvas for personalized artistry, adaptable to your unique aesthetic desires.


Precision and Gentleness

Nano Brows stand out for their precision in terms of pigment placement.

This means a smoother experience, easier healing, and potentially better pigment retention for certain skin types.


Potential Downsides of Nano Brows


  • One potential downside of Nano Brows is that since the pigments are placed more shallowly in the skin compared to Microblading, the results may fade faster. For some, this may be viewed as a positive,  while others may desire a more lasting solution.


  • Another possible downside is that Nano Brows may cost more than Microblading, and it may be more challenging to find an artist who has truly mastered the technique. Nano Brows is but more time consuming than Microblading. It is also a more difficult technique for most artists to become proficient at and master. In vetting a Nano Brows artist, one should carefully review their portfolio of Nano Brow clients.

While Microblading can cause more noticeable immediate after effects like redness and scabbing, Nano Brows’ less invasive nature means these side effects are typically milder, making the healing process smoother.


Skin Type Suitability
