Frequently Asked Questions
Nanoblading
What is Nanoblading?
Nanoblading, is a semi-permanent, cosmetic tattoo treatment for eyebrows that uses a combination of ultra-fine nano needles and pigment, to mimic the diameter and dimension of a real hair stroke in the skin.
Benefits of Nanoblading?
-Those who want to save time from daily makeup application.
What is the difference between Nanoblading and Microblading?
Despite the name, neither nanoblading or microblading utilizes a blade. Nanoblading creates the finest hair strokes with the least amount of skin trauma. It has minimal to no bleeding, faster healing time, miminal scabbing, longer lasting results, and is siutable for all skin types. It is considerably less invasive as it uses a digital machine to implant pigment rather than manually cutting into the skins dermis layer.
Does the procedure hurt?
Although perceptions of pain are highly subjective, every effort to ensure you remain comfortable for the duration of your appointment is in place. This includes a topical anesthetic cream and gel are used to numb before and during the procedure. I also use a elevating knee wedge to help reduce back strain and pressure. Please keep in mind, if you are on your menstrual cycle, you will be sensitive to pain.

Nanoblading is a semi-permanent treatment that normally lasts 1 to 2.5 years depending on lifestyle, skin type and aftercare. Touch-up appointments are avaliable throughout the year to maintain desired result.

An average treatment is about 2.5-4 hours.

Will I need a touchup after my initial appointment?
The majority of clients will require 2 sessions to perfect their desired result. After we achieve your desired brow, an annual touchup is recommend to maintain results.
Can I book Nanoblading if I am on Accutane?
Unfortunately I cannot tattoo any clients that are on accutane as the medication places you on high risk for hypersensitivity, scarring and hyperpigmentation. Clients cannot take accuntane for 12 months before any nanoblading treatment.
