You’ve heard the hype - the words "Microblading" or 'Brow Feathering" and it sounds like a great semi-permanent solution for your eyebrows. Well, it is! However you need to make sure you choose the right "Brow Feathering' procedure for our skin type. There are two types of brow feathering techniques available - "Microblading" and "Nano Strokes".

Here are the main differences:
MICROBLADING is performed with a hand tool made up of tiny blades that the technician uses to implant the hair stroke lines into the skin while implanting pigment at the same time. This is what creates the natural hair stroke look. Unfortunately it is not suitable for all skin types. If you don't have the correct skin type which most do not (normal skin), then this technique can heal with less than ideal results. If your skin is oily or combination with enlarged pores the microbladed hair strokes will often blur and heal a cooler colour.

Microblading also causes some trauma to the skin as the blade creates small cuts and slices to the skin. If you are lucky enough to have the correct skin type and receive perfectly healed results the first couple of times, then great!! However you may want to think about what the the long term blading is doing to the integrity of your skin

NANO STROKES is a very different procedure that is performed with a PMU Machine. This machine is similar to a traditional tattoo machine but designed for permanent make up and therefore is more gentle on the skin with less vibration. The cartridge gently taps the pigment into the skin repeatedly with a very fine nano needle. This causes minimal trauma to the skin yet implanting much more pigment and offering longer lasting results.

Machine tattooing is less intrusive to the skin than the act of slicing with a microblade. Nano Strokes is my preferred brow feathering option for most skin types as the end result is highly satisfactory across the board.
