Hyper-realism Nanohairstoke Nanobrows
Nanobrows or Nanoblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattooing technique used to enhance eyebrows by creating ultra-fine, hair-like strokes that mimic natural eyebrow hair. It uses a digital or tattoo machine with a very fine needle to deposit pigment into the skin, resulting in a more natural and precise look compared to microblading, which uses a manual blade.
Key aspects of nanoblading:
Fine needles: Nanoblading utilizes extremely fine needles to create delicate, hair-like strokes, resulting in a more natural and realistic appearance.
Digital machine: Unlike microblading, which uses a manual tool, nanoblading is performed with a digital tattoo machine, allowing for greater precision and control.
Semi-permanent: The pigment is implanted into the skin, but it is not as deep as a traditional tattoo, so it will fade over time, typically lasting for a year or more.
Natural look: Nanoblading is known for creating a soft, feathered look, enhancing the natural shape and fullness of the eyebrows.
Suitable for all skin types: It can be used to address various concerns, including sparse brows, gaps, and uneven shapes, making it suitable for all skin tones and hair colors.
Comparison with microblading:
Tools: Microblading uses a manual handheld tool with tiny blades, while nanoblading uses a digital machine with a fine needle.
Stroke appearance: Microblading tends to create bolder, thicker strokes, while nanoblading results in finer, more natural-looking strokes.
Pain and healing: Nanoblading is generally considered less painful and may have a shorter healing time due to the finer needle and less skin trauma.
Longevity: While both are semi-permanent, nanoblading can sometimes last longer than microblading, with results potentially lasting up to three years.
Suitable for: New treatments | Nanobrows Top-up | Old PMU cover-up
Skin type: All - nomal, oily, dry, combination
No of treatments: 2 session
Duration: 1st session 3hrs / 2nd session 2hrs
What happens during treatment: comprises of pre-numbing the brows, brow mapping, pattern creation, tattooing, and shading if needed (on areas where there is little to no hair). For cover-up, a colour correction prior to mapping maybe required depending on how faded the previous pmu is.
Microblading
Microblading is a semi-permanent cosmetic procedure that enhances the appearance of eyebrows by creating a fuller, more defined shape. It uses a manual handheld tool with tiny needles to deposit pigment into the skin's surface, mimicking the appearance of individual eyebrow hairs. This technique differs from traditional tattooing as it focuses on the epidermis (outermost layer of skin) rather than penetrating deeper into the dermis.
How it works:
A technician uses a specialized handheld tool with a blade-like structure to make tiny incisions in the skin.
Pigment is deposited into these incisions to create the desired brow shape and fullness.
Unlike traditional tattooing, microblading doesn't penetrate as deeply into the skin, resulting in a semi-permanent effect. The pigment is implanted into the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin.
Benefits:
Natural-looking results: Microblading creates hair-like strokes that can blend seamlessly with natural eyebrow hairs.
Fuller brows: It can fill in sparse areas and create the illusion of thicker, more defined brows.
Long-lasting effect: While not permanent, microblading can last for 12-18 months, depending on individual skin type and other factors.
Who is it for? Microblading is popular for individuals with sparse, thin, or uneven eyebrows.
It's also a good option for those who want to enhance the shape and definition of their brows.
Potential Risks and Considerations:
- Infection: As with any procedure involving skin penetration, there's a risk of infection if not performed under sterile conditions.
- Allergic reactions: Some individuals may be allergic to the pigments used.
- Scarring: Improper technique or excessive pressure during the procedure can lead to scarring.
- Color fading: Pigments may fade over time, requiring touch-up appointments.
Suitable for: New treatments | Microblading Top-up (for cover-up, see Nanobrows & Shading)
Skin type: nomal, normal oily t-zone combination (not suitable for oily & dry skin)
No of treatments: 2 session (new) | 1 session (top-up on brows under 18mo old)
Duration: 1st session 2.5hrs / 2nd session 1.5hrs
What happens during treatment: comprises of pre-numbing the brows, brow mapping, pattern creation, tattooing or microblading.
Powder / Shading / Ombre Brows
Powder shading ombre brows, also known as ombre powder brows, is a semi-permanent makeup technique that creates a soft, shaded brow look using a machine to deposit pigment into the skin. The technique involves a gradient effect, with the front of the brow appearing lighter and gradually getting darker towards the tail, mimicking the look of filled-in brows with makeup. Here's a more detailed explanation:Key Features:
- Semi-permanent:The pigment is implanted into the superficial dermis, lasting for a considerable amount of time (1-3 years) but not permanent.
- Machine Technique:Unlike microblading which uses a hand tool for hair-like strokes, ombre powder brows use a machine to create a series of dots, resulting in a soft, powdered effect.
- Ombre Gradient:The color is applied in a gradient, with a lighter shade at the front of the brow and a darker shade at the tail, giving a natural, shaded look.
- Versatile:Suitable for most skin types, including oily and sensitive skin, and can be customized for a natural or more bold look.
Procedure:
- 1. Consultation:A consultation is crucial to discuss the desired brow shape, color, and expectations.
- 2. Shaping and Pigment Selection:The technician will carefully shape the brows and select a pigment that complements the individual's features and skin tone.
- 3. Application:The technician uses a specialized machine to deposit pigment into the skin using a dotting technique, creating a soft, powdered effect.
- 4. Healing:The treated area will experience some redness and swelling initially, with scabs forming and eventually falling off.
- 5. Touch-up:A touch-up appointment is typically needed after the initial healing period (6-8 weeks) to perfect the color and shape.
Benefits:
- Long-lasting: Provides a semi-permanent solution, reducing the need for daily brow makeup.
- Natural-looking: Creates a soft, powdered effect that can be customized for a natural or more defined look.
- Time-saving: Eliminates the need for daily brow filling with makeup.
- Suitable for various skin types: Oily and sensitive skin types can benefit from the technique
Suitable for: New treatments | Powder brows Top-up | Old PMU cover-up
Skin type: All - nomal, oily, dry, combination
No of treatments:2 session (new) | 1 session (top-up on brows under 18mo old)
Duration: 1st session 2.5hrs / 2nd session 1.5hrs
What happens during treatment: comprises of pre-numbing the brows, brow mapping, tattooing or shading. For old PMU colour correction prior to mapping maybe required depending on how faded the previous brow tattoo is.
Combination Brows
Combination Brows or Combo Brows apply both nanobows or microblading, and powder techniques to the same brow. The nanobrows is often used around the edges and borders to create a natural hair stroke look, while the powder effect is applied to the body of the brow.
Benefits:
Combination brows can create a more defined and fuller look than nanobows or microblading alone, while still maintaining a natural appearance. It's a good option for those with sparse brows or those wanting a more defined shape.
Considerations:
Combo brows can be more traumatic to the skin than powder brows alone due to the added process. Also, the nanobows or microblading strokes may fade faster than the powder fill, potentially leading to uneven fading.
Suitable for: New treatments | Old Combo Brows Top-up | Old PMU cover-up
Skin type: All - nomal, oily, dry, combination (will adopt the technique based on the skin type)
No of treatments: 2 session (new) | 1 session (top-up on brows under 18mo old)
Duration: 1st session 3hrs / 2nd session 2hrs
What happens during treatment: comprises of pre-numbing the brows, brow mapping, pattern creation, tattooing, and shading if needed (on areas where there is little to no hair). For cover-up, a colour correction prior to mapping maybe required depending on how faded the previous pmu is.
Lip Blush
Lip blush, also known as lip blushing, is a semi-permanent cosmetic tattoo that enhances the natural color, shape, and definition of the lips. It's a way to achieve a soft, tinted look, similar to a lipstick or lip stain, without the daily application. Here's a more detailed explanation:
What it is:
- Lip blush uses a cosmetic tattooing technique to deposit pigment into the lips.
- A fine needle deposits pigment into the upper layers of the lip tissue, creating a subtle, long-lasting color.
- It can be used to correct asymmetry, add definition, or create a more youthful appearance.
How it works:
- A numbing cream is applied to the lips to minimize discomfort.
- A specialized cosmetic tattoo machine deposits pigment into the lips.
- The technician may layer dots of pigment to achieve the desired shade and coverage.
- A top-up session may be needed to achieve the desired result and color saturation.
What it achieves:
- A soft, natural-looking tint that enhances the lips' natural color.
- Improved lip definition and shape.
- A fuller, more youthful appearance.
- A long-lasting solution for those who want to ditch daily lipstick or lip liner.
Things to consider:
- Lip blush is not a permanent solution, as the color will gradually fade over time.
- It's important to choose a skilled and experienced technician for the procedure.
- Aftercare instructions should be followed carefully to ensure proper healing and longevity of the results.
- There may be some sensitivity and dryness in the days following the procedure.
- It's essential to avoid sun exposure, swimming, and strenuous activities for a period after the treatment.
