When choosing an eyebrow treatment, you must decide whether you want a makeup look or a natural-looking enhancement. If the answer is natural and you want so-called hair stroke brows, you can choose between nano brows vs microblading.
The main difference between nano brows and microblading boils down to technique, which then entails certain differences in the final results
Nano brows are done with a PMU machine – some artists call this treatment digital hair stroke brows or machine brows.
The PMU machine features an extremely fine needle, which vibrates and pierces the skin, depositing pigments in tiny dots that add up to strokes. The needle is very thin and enters the skin at a 90 degree angle, so it causes very little trauma to the skin.
Microblading is a manual technique.
A hand-held tool that features a thin blade made up of 12-16 needles is dragged through the skin. The blade is dipped in pigment, and it’s deposited into the tiny cuts. The microblading blade can be as thin as 0.18 mm or less. However, there’s less control over pressure and motion
There is less scabbing with nano brows than microblading, and the possibility of scarring is lower since the machine offers maximum speed and precision.
