Microblading vs. Nanoblading: What's the Difference?

Microblading vs. Nanoblading: Both are forms of semi-permanent eyebrow tattooing that offer a natural-looking solution for enhancing your brows. But what exactly sets these two techniques apart? Let's dive in:

Microblading: Bold and Defined

Microblading utilizes a manual tool with fine blades composed of micro-needles. These needles create hair-like strokes that mimic the appearance of natural eyebrow hairs. Due to the slightly larger needle size, the strokes tend to be a bit thicker, making microblading ideal for those with sparse brows who desire a more defined shape and a bolder look.

Nanoblading: Subtle and Refined

Nanoblading takes precision to the next level. Employing even finer needles, sometimes as small as a single nanoneedle, this technique produces ultra-thin, delicate hair strokes. The result? A remarkably natural, soft, and detailed look that's perfect for those with finer hair or those seeking a subtle enhancement. Nanoblading generally offers greater precision and longevity compared to microblading.

The SofTap® Hand-Tapped Method: Gentle and Precise

At The Beauty Spot Studio, we exclusively use SofTap® hand-tapped permanent makeup needles and pigments. This technique involves a manual hand tool instead of a tattoo machine, resulting in a gentler, less invasive experience with minimal trauma to the skin. The pigments are delicately "tapped" into the skin, creating a soft, natural finish.

To ensure your comfort, we apply a two-step anesthetic process using Block-Aid and SofTap® Minerva II Topical Anesthetic. This ensures a pain-free experience throughout your procedure.
