Frequently Asked Questions
Nanoblading
What is Nanoblading?
Nanoblading, also known as Machine Micropigmentation, is a semi-permanent eyebrow treatment that uses a combination of ultra-fine nano needles and pigment to mimic the diameter of a real hair is the skin.
Who can benefit from Nanoblading?
- Those who want to save time from daily makeup application.
-Those who are active and constantly sweating or rubbing off their makeup.
-Those with unsteady hands for makeup application.
-Those who have allergies to traditional makeup.
-Those with alopecia or loss of brow hair due to chemotherapy.
-Those who over plucked and cannot grow back their brow hairs.
What is the difference between Nanoblading and Microblading?
Nanoblading uses a conventional needle cartridge, similar to a tattoo machine, but with thinner and much more flexible needles called nano needles. The very tip of the needles is dipped into the pigment and then vibration pulls the pigment down and into the cartridge. It is then dispensed from the needle, and directly deposited into the skn.
Microblading uses a manual blade configured of 10-16 fine needles. Once cuts, mimicking hair-like strokes, are manually carved in the skin using the blade; additional pigment is then left on the skin to further saturate the carved design.
Nanoblading also provides an ultra-realistic effect by creating the illusion of texture, depth and movement. Soft shading can also easily be layered to mimic denisty, creating the illusion of fuller brows; a result that cannot be achieved from microblading.
Nano is the newest technology in the permanent makeup industry, and therefore obtains cleaner, precise results, through a gentle application.

All pigments used also have an internal correction factor to counterbalance any potentional red or grey healing.
My pigments are 100% free of:
-Preservatives.

-Azo Pigments (Azo Pigments are the largest group of synthetic dye, however are carcinogenic in nature and therefore can be cancer causing)
