The Key Differences Between Microblading And Nano Brows:

If you're considering semi-permanent eyebrow enhancements, you've likely come across the terms "microblading" and "nano brows".  Both techniques are a hair-stroke style brow that offers beautifully defined, natural-looking brow, but they differ in several key aspects.


Understanding these differences will help you make an informed decision about which technique is best suited for you.

What is Microblading?

Microblading is a popular semi-permanent eyebrow technique that involves manually creating hair-like strokes in the skin using a hand-held took with tiny needles.  These needles deposit pigment into the upper layers of the skin, mimicking the appearance of natural eyebrow hairs.  The result is fuller, more defined brows that can last anywhere from 6-24 months, depending on your skin type and aftercare routine

Benefits of Microblading

  • Natural-Looking Results: The hair-like strokes blend seamlessly with your existing brows.
  • Customizable Shape: Your brows can be shaped to complement your facial features.
  • Minimal Downtime: Most clients experience minimal redness and can resume normal activities within a day or 2.
  • Best for normal-dry skin types

What Are Nano Brows

Nano brows, also known as nano needling or nano blading, is an advanced version of microblading that uses a digital machine with a fine needle to create ultra-precise, hair-like strokes.  This technique allows for even greater accuracy and is ideal for clients with thinner or more delicate skin, where traditional microblading might not be as effective.

Key Benefits of Nano Brows

  • Ultra-fine Strokes: The precision of the nano needle allows for even finer hair-like strokes, resulting in a more realistic look.
  • Longer-Lasting Results: Nano brows can last 12-36 months, making them a longer-lasting option.
  • Less Trauma To The Skin: The digital machine's fine needle causes less trauma to the skin, making it suitable for all skin types, including oily and sensitive skin.

Microblading Vs Nano Brows: Which is Right for You?

When deciding between microblading or nano brows, consider your skin type, desired look, and lifestyle.

  • Skin Type: If you have oily or sensitive skin, nano brows might be the better option for you due to the less invasive nature of the application.
  • Desired Look: Both techniques can create natural-looking brows, but nano brows offer even finer and more precise strokes, ideal for those looking for more realistic results. As microblading strokes cannot over lap, nano brows can offer more stroke pattern options.
  • Longevity: If you prefer a treatment that requires less frequent touch ups, nano brows may be worth the investment. Microblading is a great option for someone that wants brows that don't wash off at night, but without the commitment of some of the other brow options.
