Nano Brows vs. Microblading: Which One Is Best for Your Skin Type?

If you are considering permanent makeup for the eyebrows, you may already know about the two most sought-after techniques; nano brows and microblading. Although both techniques serve the purpose of filling eyebrows and making them more attractive, they differ from each other, and the right choice can really matter in the end.

The question we hear quite often from clients of Kaviar Skin Studio is: Which one is better: nano brows or microblading? It depends on your skin type, age, lifestyle, eyebrow hair, and desired outcome.

What are Nano Brows?

Nano brows are done with the help of the machine and a thin needle which implants pigment into the skin with hair-like strokes.

Advantages of Nano Brows:

* Hair-like strokes

* Less traumatizing effect on the skin compared to regular microblading

* High precision and control over implanting process

* Better retention on certain skin types

* Natural results

What is Microblading?

It is a hand-held technique when hair-like strokes are done in the skin, and pigment is implanted there.

Although microblading can give outstanding results on a certain person, it is usually recommended for:

* Younger skin

* Normal and dry skin types

* Clients with minimum sun damage

* Smaller pores and firmer skin

Which Technique is Better for Oily Skin?

Clients with oily skin are advised to choose nano brows.

In the case of oily skin, microblading strokes tend to heal softer and get blurry over time. With nano technique, the process of pigment implantation is more controlled, which often leads to better retention and results.

Which Technique is Better for Mature Skin?

Here comes a surprise for many people.

Although nano brows can be a great choice for some mature clients, it is not always the best one. With age, the skin gets thinner and becomes more fragile and sensitive; it also becomes more textured due to aging and sun exposure processes.

Because of this fact, nano brows do not always heal as crisp and retain pigment as well as in other cases; strokes become softer and blurry over time.

Powder brows or combo brows can give a more flattering and longer-lasting result for many mature clients since the effect of soft shading adds definition and fullness to the eyebrows.

In Kaviar Skin Studio, every client is treated individually. Some mature clients are great candidates for nano brows, but others get better results with powder or combo brows.

Which Technique Looks More Natural?

Both nano brows and microblading can be natural-looking if done correctly.

However, sometimes natural does not necessarily mean hair-like strokes. For example, in some cases, soft powder brow looks more natural once healed because it blends perfectly with the client’s brow hair and skin texture.

The most natural result is the technique that suits your skin type.

Which Technique Lasts Longer?

The longevity of a procedure depends on many factors, including:

* Skin type

* Sun exposure

* Skincare products

* Client’s lifestyle

* Aftercare procedures

* The chosen technique

No permanent makeup technique lasts forever; it is recommended to have maintenance appointments from time to time to keep your brows looking perfect and fresh.

Why Customized Approach Is Important:

One of the biggest misconceptions about permanent makeup is that one technique is best for everybody.

In reality, beautiful brows are not created through following the trend, but through choosing the technique that suits the individual client best.

In Kaviar Skin Studio, we take into consideration your skin type, age, existing eyebrow hair, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences before advising the best technique for you. No matter if you need nano brows, powder brows, combo brows or something else – we work on creating brows that heal beautifully and look great over time.

The Bottom Line

Nano brows and microblading are useful for different cases, but they are definitely not universal techniques.

The best brow technique is the one that will give you the best results taking into consideration your unique skin type. Based on your brows evaluation during your consultation, we will advise you what will give you the best chance to be satisfied with your new brows for a long time.
