Microblading vs nanoblading, which one’s actually right for you?
This is easily one of the questions I get asked most in brow consults, so let’s clear it up...
Microblading is a hand tool technique, tiny needles create fine, hair-like strokes. It’s all about the artist’s hand movement, and it heals beautifully crisp on normal to dry skin. Where it can struggle is on oilier skin, where strokes can soften or blur faster.
Nanoblading gives a similar effect but is machine-driven with a single fine needle, so the strokes are even more precise and consistent. This is usually what I recommend for oilier or more sensitive skin types, since the definition holds for longer.
The truth is, this isn’t a decision to make off a photo or a trend. It comes down to your skin type, how much definition you want, and how your skin is likely to heal, and that’s exactly what we work through together at your consultation.
Not sure which technique suits you best? Book a consultation with me today (link in bio) and we’ll figure it out together.
