WHAT IS MICROBLADING? WHAT ARE NANOBROWS?

Microblading is semi-permanent tattoo of the eyebrow whereby a series of strategically-placed superficial incisions are made using a sterile blade and pigment, creating fuller symmetrical brows. Nanobrows (Machine strokes) on the other hand uses a machine with a single needle to create hairstrokes. This technique is starting to replace microblading as it is less traumatic to the skin, less painful, and looks much nicer as you can change the intensity of each stroke, cross strokes over, and give an overall hyper-realistic effect.

DOES IT HURT?

We now only offer Nanobrows which is much more comfortable than Microblading, and doesn’t even need numbing cream! Some people find it scratchy, but it’s generally tolerable and doesn’t take too long.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?

Intricate measurements based on your facial features will be acquired, and your correct or preferred brow shape will be outlined. You will be shown the final outline before the nanobrows technique is commenced. The brows will look great once done, but they will gradually fade to about 80%, and at the touch up appointment two months later, the lighter strokes can be made darker, as well as any other tweaks needed.

HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

Nanobrows lasts between 1-3 years depending on skin type, sun exposure, face serums/creams, swimming, sweating etc. Drier skin holds pigment longer than oilier skin.

WHO CAN'T HAVE NANOBROWS?

Persons under 18 years of age unless you are 16 or 17 with parental consent, if you're pregnant (breastfeeding is okay), with caution in uncontrolled diabetes or hypertension and those on blood thinners,, allergy to pigment, and those on chemotherapy or are immunocompromised as it increases the chance of infection (unless approval is sought from their doctor/specialist).
