Microblading vs. Nano Brows: What’s the Difference?

crousejayda


Permanent makeup has come a long way from harsh, one-dimensional tattoos to subtle, natural-looking options that beautifully enhance your features. If you’re considering getting permanent eyebrow makeup, you’ve probably come across two popular options: microblading and nano machine brows. Both techniques aim to give you fuller, natural-looking brows with less daily maintenance, but they differ in how they’re done, and the tools used. Understanding these differences is key to choosing the right method for your skin type, lifestyle, and desired results.


In this blog, we’ll break down the key differences between microblading and nano machine brows, so you can make an informed decision and feel confident in your choice!



What is Microblading?


Microblading is a manual technique that uses a handheld tool with a row of fine needles to create small, hair-like strokes in the skin. These strokes mimic natural eyebrow hairs, giving your brows a fuller appearance. The pigment is deposited just below the surface of the skin, creating a soft, natural look.





Key Features of Microblading:

  • Technique: A handheld tool is used to create individual hair strokes.

  • Application: The artist makes tiny incisions in the skin, manually depositing the pigment.

  • Skin Type: Best for those with normal to dry skin.

  • Appearance: The result is a soft, natural enhancement of your existing brow shape.






What Are Nano Brows?


Nano machine brows, also known as nano hairstrokes, use a digital machine, similar to a tattoo machine, equipped with an ultra-fine needle to create similar hair-like strokes. Unlike the manual method of microblading, the nano method allows the artist to create finer, more consistent strokes. Nano brows work well on all skin types, including oily or combination skin. The machine’s precision allows for more controlled pigment application, reducing the risk of strokes blurring or fading unevenly.



Key Features of Nano Brows:

  • Technique: A digital machine with a tiny needle creates precise hair strokes.

  • Application: The machine-controlled needle deposits pigment into the skin, offering more control and accuracy.

  • Skin Type: Suitable for all skin types, especially those with oily or combination skin.

  • Appearance: Offers more refined and detailed hair strokes, closely mimicking the look of real eyebrow hairs.

How to Choose Between Microblading and Nano Brows


  1. Skin Type

    • If you have normal to dry skin, microblading is a great option because the strokes tend to stay well-defined on this skin type. Microblading on oily skin has more risk of hair strokes thickening or blurring together down the road.

    • If you have oily or combination skin, nano machine brows are often a better choice since the machine allows for more precise strokes that hold up well even with oilier complexions.

  2. Desired Appearance

    • Microblading provides a soft, natural look. It’s perfect for those who want a subtle enhancement to their brows.

    • Nano machine brows offer a more refined and polished appearance with greater precision, making it ideal for those who want well-defined, hair-like strokes that resemble real eyebrow hairs.

  3. Sensitivity and Comfort

    • Microblading is performed manually, and while it’s generally comfortable, some people with very sensitive skin may prefer the controlled precision of nano machine brows, which can be gentler on the skin due to the machine’s accuracy, causing less trauma to the skin.


Which is right for you?

Both microblading and nano machine brows offer beautiful, natural-looking results.

By understanding the differences between these two techniques, you can make an informed decision that fits your beauty goals. Be sure to consult with an experienced brow artist who can assess your unique needs and help you achieve your dream brows!
