Microblading, nanoblading, nano brows.. If you are confused by the permanent makeup options for your eyebrows, you are not alone. Nano and Microblading are two similar permanent makeup eyebrow procedures, and the end result looks virtually identical. The difference is that nanoblading uses a smaller needle than microblading, emulating the texture, depth and movement of real eyebrow hair. The smaller needle used in nano blading means higher precision and accuracy, allowing for even more natural looking results. We share some of the reasons you may choose Nano Brows over Microblading:
Nanoblading Works On Oily Skin
Normal to dry skin types are perfect candidates for microblading. The microblading procedure involves a super-fine tool, which deposits pigment into skin. The tool creates strokes that closely resemble individual hairs. However, if you have oily skin, microbladed eyebrows have a higher chance of fading or creating blurred strokes over time due to the skin’s high production of oil and absorption of the pigment. With Nano, even a client with oily skin can enjoy crispy natural-looking hair strokes. Soft shading can also be easily layered to mimic density and fuller brows, making this service incredibly customizable for each client. Got oily skin? Choose nano.
Nano Lasts Longer
As compared to microblading, nano blading lasts longer: nanoblading results can last up to 3 years. Nanoblading combines hair stroke and shading techniques to leave your arches looking perfect. Although nanobladingis considered a permanent makeup service, sun exposure, cell turnover, and exfoliation will cause some fading over time. For best results, you’ll need to schedule a touch-up or maintenance treatment after the first year or year and a half. For most clients, nano blading saves time and money, as it requires fewer appointments over time than microblading. People with skin that is rough and bumpy are also good candidates for nano blading, while microblading may be a problem in this case.
Nano Is Effective on Darker Skin Tones
We are often asked, does microblading or nano work on dark skin? Nano blading works on all skin tones, including darker/ more melanated skin. When the right pigment is selected, Nano blading on darker skin tones creates beautiful, full eyebrows.
