Frequently Asked Questions
Whether it be nano needling or microblading pigments are custom tinted to enhance your natural features. Of course, always taking into consideration age, hair colour, as well as facial features, etc.
YES, both procedures are virtually painless. During these procedures, topical numbing is initially and continuously applied throughout the entire procedure to ensure comfort for our clients.
The main difference between the two procedures is that nano needling uses a tiny needle with the aid of a vibrating machine to deposit pigment beneath the surface of the skin, whereas, microblading uses a fine blade to create “Hair Illusions“.
Nano needling and microblading are both meticulous techniques whereby pigment is deposited beneath the surface of the skin to create the illusion of a single hair.
NOTE: all procedures include consultation and design

Differences
Procedure
Microblading is a manual procedure depending on the pressure used, the pigment can be implanted too deep. If the pressure applied is not great enough, the hair strokes will fail to hold and require the possibility of up to three treatments to get the finished result.
Nano needling treatments are performed by a machine thus allowing the pigment to be deposited more evenly into the skin. Thus, reducing the need for additional treatment.
The nano needling technique is a much cleaner process than microblading.
Touch-ups
- As microblading is a manual treatment may require more regular touch ups, maybe every 9 months
- Procedures using nano needling last longer and should only require a colour boost after 12 months
- (Be sure to discuss with your artist ways to prolong pigment life for both procedures)
Pricing
Microblading is a less expensive way to create the brows you’ve dreamed of.
