Nano vs Micro Blading
Nano or Powder Brow and Shadow Brow is a technique in tattooing called “whip shading” that creates the smallest pixels on the uppermost dermal layer that create soft, filled in yet defined eyebrows. The broad term used is “Microshading” when done this way. It requires touch ups every 3 years to maintain the vibrancy and definition. But that is what you want, let me tell you why.
But first let’s look at what Microblading is. A scalpel like blade with grouped needles that creates “hair like” slices in the skin and then pigment is laid over the marks to absorb and heal together. Traditionally, it was one of the methods used in Asia for tattooing anywhere on the body. Almost 30 years ago Japan marketed it as an option for those suffering from hair loss. It then gained traction in America. I love the history behind it! The depth of the micro blade can be too deep for the face. Your blood vessels will cary the pigment making your color will change and those hair like strokes become muddled and blown out.
When you choose Microshading with the nano needle, you are getting a very small pin pricks that feels like a cat licking you. There is no bleeding and it is painless. You can’t go wrong with an option like that! The needle stays away from any depth that would cause your blood vessels to touch the pigment and carry it away from the desired spot. This method when used correctly steers away from trends and keeps your natural shape, style and amplifies the perfect coloring for your skin tone blending with your undertone as well.
