Microblading VS Nano Brows
In recent years, the popularity of microblading has soared in North America. Introduced around 2015, this eyebrow tattooing technique quickly gained recognition as a revolutionary method for achieving natural-looking brows. However, the landscape of permanent makeup has evolved, and a new technique known as Nano Brows has emerged as the frontrunner in the industry. If you're curious about the differences between these two techniques, continue reading to find out more.
Microblading
Hairstrokes are created by using a micro blade. This blade is securely inserted into a pen-like holder, allowing for precise control during the procedure. To create hairstrokes, fine incisions are made in the skin, and then the chosen pigment is gently rubbed into the incisions. The cuts made during the procedure cannot cross over each other. This means that the strokes created maintain a consistent thickness and density throughout the brow area.
Nano Brows
Hairstrokes are crafted using a specialized machine. This machine utilizes a needle cartridge that picks up the pigment and deposits into the skin. Since no cuts are made in the skin, hairstrokes can intersect allowing for adjustments in thickness and density. This process ensures that the hairstrokes look more realistic.
Which Technique is Right For Me?
When it comes to achieving fuller and natural-looking eyebrows, both microblading and Nano Brows techniques deliver excellent results. However, it's important to consider your specific skin type before deciding which method to choose.
Microblading, while extremely popular, may not be the best option for those with oily or sensitive skin. This technique involves creating fine cuts in the skin, which can lead to more bleeding and subsequently more scabbing. Unfortunately, increased scabbing can result in poor colour retention and less desirable outcomes for individuals with these skin types.
In contrast, Nano Brows does not involve blading the skin. Consequently, there is less scabbing involved in this technique. This makes Nano Brows a more suitable choice for individuals with any skin type, including those with oily or sensitive skin.
By opting for Nano Brows, you can expect the same natural-looking hairstrokes as microblading, but with the added benefit of reduced scabbing and improved color retention. Ultimately, finding the right technique for your unique skin type ensures the best possible outcome for your eyebrow enhancement journey.
