Perfectly filled in eyebrows have become a beauty staple for most women over the past decade. They enhance and define the shape of our face, making us look more put together and polished. However, achieving the perfect arch can be a tedious daily task for many of us. Introducing nano and microblading, a new technique that promises to give you the perfect eyebrows that last for months. In this guide, we will walk you through everything you need to know about nano and microblading. What is Nano & Microblading? Nano and microblading are techniques that have become increasingly popular in recent times. They are both forms of cosmetic tattooing that use tiny needles to create hair-like strokes on the skin, the result is eyebrows that appear fuller and more defined. The primary difference between nano and microblading is the type of equipment used. Microblading is done with a manual tool, while nano uses a digital pen. Nano is a newer method that has become popular because it is less invasive and gentler on the skin. Techniques and Procedure Before the procedure, the technician will examine your face and let you choose the perfect shape of brows that suit your face. Then, a numbing cream will be applied to your brow area to ease any discomfort you may feel. After that, the technician will begin working on your brows by drawing hair-like strokes with tiny and precise needles. The procedure takes around two and a half hours, and the results can last anywhere from six months to one and a half years, depending on your skin type and how you care for them. The first touch up after 6-8 weeks of the initial appointment is included in our package.

Pre-Procedure Preparation To make sure you get the best results, you need to prepare your skin ahead of time. Avoid drinking alcohol or caffeine for 24 hours before the procedure. Refrain from using skincare products that contain glycolic acid or Retin-A for at least two weeks before the procedure. And avoid sun exposure for at least 24 hours beforehand. Also, make sure you avoid tweezing, waxing, or threading your eyebrows six weeks before the procedure. Post-Procedure Care After the procedure, you’ll need to care for your new brows to ensure they last as long as possible. Avoid getting them wet for at least seven days and avoid sweating too much. Try not to scratch or pick at them, and avoid using any skincare products on them for the first few days. Be sure to follow any instructions given by your technician, and attend regular touch-up appointments to keep your brows looking perfect.
