Microblading vs. Nano Brows (Machine Strokes)
Microblading is a hot trending topic in the beauty industry and probably will be for a long time to come. Many individuals are taking the plunge into the PMU (permanent make-up) world to change the ease of their life as well as their daily routines.
This solution for a low-maintenance morning routine is revolutionary.
On average, those who are good candidates for microblading can reap the benefits from it for up to a year with quality colour retention before having to book in for a “colour boost”. This is a simple appointment to freshen and crisp up any fading colour.
While the microblading service is still an option, an emerging version of the microblading process is on the rise which promises even more sophisticated and natural looking eyebrows with longer lasting color retention and less risk.

WHAT IS MICROBLADING?
Microblading is a non-permanent form of semi-permanent makeup that gives you a full, yet natural looking brow. The process involves manual hair strokes by using a microblade to deposit pigment into the skin at different depths by lightly “trenching” a blade through the skin. This process creates new, realistic looking hairs. Microblading is great for those who have sparse or thin brows and want more enhancement than just an eyebrow pencil can provide. This is also perfect for those who want to enhance already present hair lines and color to give the appearance of fuller, thicker brows.
It is important to note that microblading is not suitable to all skin types, and thrives mainly with normal to dry skin. If you naturally are prone to oily skin, microblading more than likely will not last very long or crisp for you.
WHAT ARE NANO BROWS? (MACHINE HAIR STROKES)
Nano Brows or “Machine Strokes” is a form of brow tattooing that uses a PMU Machine (similar to a tattoo machine) with a super fine needle to apply the ink under the surface layer of the skin. The fine needle deposits the ink under the skin in a way mimics real, fine eyebrow hair. The ink used in nanoblading is semi-permanent and will fade over time which is great in case you want to change up your look.
Unlike microblading, this technique is suitable for all skin types and will last longer than microblading.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MICROBLADING AND NANO BROWS?
The main difference between the two is that microblading uses a manual tool and nano brows uses a PMU Machine.
SKIN TRAUMA AND SCABBING
In general, microblading tends to be more traumatic to the skin due to the “trenching” of the skin with a blade vs. being placed into the skin with a fine needle.
With Microblading comes more scabbing and healing time than Nano Brows
HOW LONG DO BOTH SERVICES LAST?
With the right skin type and proper aftercare, you can expect your microblading to last up to a year before needing a colour boost.
With proper aftercare for Nano Brows, you can expect your brows to last 1-2 years before needing a colour boost.
