Are Nano Brows better than Microblading?
For many clients, nano brows can be a better alternative to Microblading. Nano brows use a fine machine needle to create precise, realistic hair strokes that can work well across a variety of skin types and textures. The strokes also tend to retain their sharpness and smudge less over time, creating more natural-looking, long-lasting results.
How Long Do Nano Brows Last?
Nano brows typically last 1–2 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, skincare routine, and how well your brows are cared for. Regular maintenance appointments can help keep your nano brows looking fresh and natural.
Do Nano Brows Hurt?
Most clients describe nano brows as very comfortable with minimal discomfort. You may feel light pressure, scratching, or a gentle vibration, but significant pain is uncommon.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Nano Brows?
Nano brows are a great option for anyone wanting natural-looking, defined eyebrows with realistic hair strokes. They can be suitable for a variety of skin types, including oily or mature skin, and are ideal for those with alopecia, sparse, uneven, over-plucked, or thinning brows who want to enhance their natural shape with a low-maintenance result.
Can Mature Skin Get Nano Brows?
Yes! Nano brows are an excellent option for mature skin. Because nano brows use a fine machine needle to create delicate hair strokes without making the larger cuts such as with microblading, they can be customized to suit thinner, more delicate, or textured skin. The result is soft, natural-looking brows that complement your features without looking heavy or drawn on.
How Long Is the Healing Process?
The nano brow healing process typically takes about 1 week. Your brows may appear darker or slightly more defined at first, then gradually soften and lighten as they heal. A follow-up appointment is usually recommended around 4–8 weeks to assess the healed results and make any necessary adjustments.
Are Nano Brows Suitable for Oily Skin?
Nano brows can be performed on a variety of skin types, including oily skin. However, skin type can affect pigment retention and how crisp the healed hair strokes appear. Your skin and desired result will be assessed to determine whether nano brows are the most suitable technique for you.
Will Nano Brows Look Natural?
Yes. Nano brows are the most natural-looking technique as it creates soft hair-like strokes that vary in length, thickeness and direction giving you organic looking eyebrows.
How Long Does a Nano Brow Appointment Take?
A nano brow appointment typically takes approximately 2-3 hours. This includes the consultation, brow mapping and design, colour selection, and the nano brow procedure itself.
Do I Need a Touch-Up After Nano Brows?
Yes. Nano brows are typically completed in 2 sessions. A follow-up appointment allows your artist to assess how your skin has healed and retained pigment and make any necessary adjustments to the healed strokes.
Can I Get Nano Brows If I Have Previous Microblading?
In some cases, yes. Previous microblading or permanent makeup must be assessed before booking to determine whether the existing pigment has faded enough for nano brows or whether removal or lightening may be recommended first. Send us a photo to info@linatranstudio.com
