"Will this damage my natural brows?" — this is one of the most common concerns before booking Nano Brows, and it's completely valid. The good news is that when performed correctly, Nano Brows are a safe and non-damaging treatment. Here are the facts.
Do Nano Brows Damage Natural Brow Hair?
No — Nano Brows do not damage your natural brow hair. The treatment works by implanting pigment into the skin, not into the hair follicle itself. This means your natural hair continues to grow as normal, hair follicles remain unharmed, and your existing brows stay healthy throughout and after the treatment.
How Nano Brows Work — and Why They're Safe
Nano Brows use a digital machine with an ultra-fine needle to place pigment into the upper layers of the skin. Unlike older techniques, the depth is controlled precisely, the skin is not cut or torn, and trauma is minimised. This makes Nano Brows one of the safest forms of semi-permanent makeup available today.
Are Nano Brows Safer Than Microblading?
✓ Nano Brows
- Controlled machine technique
- No cutting into the skin
- Less trauma and inflammation
- Heals more evenly
- Lower risk of scarring
△ Microblading
- Manual blade creates cuts in skin
- Can cause more irritation
- Higher risk of uneven healing
- Potential for scarring over multiple sessions
Can Nano Brows Affect Hair Growth?
No — Nano Brows do not stop or reduce natural brow hair growth. Your natural hairs will continue to grow through the treated area throughout the treatment's lifetime. The pigment simply enhances what's already there. Many clients report their brows actually looking healthier because the defined shape makes existing hair appear fuller and more deliberate.
What Could Cause Problems?
Problems can occur when the treatment is performed incorrectly — going too deep into the skin, using poor technique, or being done by an inexperienced artist. This is why choosing a skilled, experienced PMU artist is absolutely essential. Poor aftercare can also cause complications that could have been easily avoided.
At Ska Brows, Ilaria has 7+ years of experience and uses professional-grade equipment with precise, controlled technique. Every treatment is customised to your skin type, and clear aftercare instructions are provided to every client.
What Happens to Your Brows Over Time?
Nano Brows are designed to fade gradually — not damage your skin or hair. Over time, the pigment softens and lightens, while your natural brows remain completely intact. This allows for adjustments, maintenance, and refreshes without any long-term harm to the brow area.
