Nano brows (also known as nanoblading or nano hairstrokes) are a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing technique similar to microblading but performed with a digital tattoo machine instead of a manual blade. This method creates ultra-fine, natural-looking hair strokes with better precision and longevity. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the process:

1. Consultation and Preparation

Before the procedure, the technician and client discuss:

  • Brow goals: Shape, color, and density preferences.

  • Skin type assessment: Nano brows work well for all skin types, including oily skin, unlike microblading.

  • Medical history: To check for contraindications (e.g., pregnancy, blood disorders, skin conditions).

  • Patch test (optional): A small amount of pigment is applied to test for allergic reactions.

2. Brow Mapping and Design

  • The technician measures and maps the ideal brow shape using rulers, calipers, and facial symmetry guidelines.

  • A brow outline is drawn using a pencil or marker for client approval.

  • Adjustments are made to ensure balance and symmetry.

3. Numbing the Area

  • A topical anesthetic (usually lidocaine) is applied to minimize discomfort.

  • It takes 20–30 minutes to take effect.

4. Nano Brow Application

  • A digital tattoo machine with an ultra-fine needle deposits pigment into the upper dermis.

  • Unlike microblading, which creates cuts, the machine gently implants pigment without excessive trauma to the skin.

  • The technician follows the natural hair growth pattern to ensure a realistic look.

  • The strokes are layered gradually for an even, defined result.

5. Pigment Saturation and Refinement

  • Multiple passes may be done to ensure uniform pigment saturation.

  • A final pigment layer is applied and left to absorb before being wiped off.

  • The technician cleans the area and reviews the results with the client.

6. Aftercare Instructions

To ensure proper healing and pigment retention, clients should:

  • Keep brows dry for 24–48 hours (avoid water, sweat, steam).

  • Apply a recommended healing balm if advised.

  • Avoid picking, scratching, or excessive touching during healing.

  • Stay away from makeup, sun exposure, and harsh skincare products (e.g., retinol, acids) near the brows.

7. Healing Process (4–6 Weeks)

  • Brows will appear darker initially but soften over time.

  • Some light flaking or scabbing may occur.

  • Pigment may fade unevenly during healing, but this is normal.

8. Touch-Up Session (6–8 Weeks Later)

  • The technician refines the shape, fills in faded areas, and adjusts color if needed.

  • This step ensures a perfect, long-lasting result.

9. Long-Term Maintenance

  • Nano brows last 2–3 years depending on skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

  • Annual touch-ups help maintain definition.

  • Avoid excessive exfoliation, laser treatments, and sun exposure to prolong results.

Why Choose Nano Brows Over Microblading?
✅ Works well on oily and sensitive skin
✅ Less trauma to the skin, meaning faster healing
✅ More precise, finer strokes for a hyper-realistic look
✅ Longer-lasting than microblading
