Microblading has been big beauty news this year. But what about the new nano brow treatment? Should you go for it instead of microblading? Here’s our guide to the difference between microblading and nanoblading.
What is the difference between Microblading and Nanoblading?
Enhancing eyebrows is high on the beauty agenda, with the most requested style being “natural-looking bushy brows that have a definition at the arches and the hair brushed upwards.” Microblading has helped a lot of people achieve the density and shape they want after the plucking craze of the 200s, due to hair loss because they desire a specific shape.
The key difference between nanoblading and microblading is not the blade: the treatment involves the same technique as microblading but uses super fine, flexible needles instead of a blade. The needles very thin and flexible so extreme accuracy, a more precise pigment application and a more natural-looking result are possible – although some express says that a combination of the techniques is often best. Typically microblading is used first to create shape then nanoblading copies the dimension and diameter of your real hairs.
The fine needles used in nanoblading are reportedly less painful than microblading blades. Both treatments use an anaesthetic cream that makes the treatment feel scratchy rather than painful.
Many specialists agree that nanoblading creates a longer-lasting effect than microblading as the ‘needling’ creates greater colour intensity.
The week after microblading or nano blading, keeping your eyebrows dry is crucial. That means no swimming, splashing your face, avoid sweating, and certainly don’t put any lotions or makeup on your brows. Try to keep out of the sun to protect your brows and avoid facials, peels or laser treatments for a while to avoid scarring or discolouration.
