Nano Brows vs Microblading

Nano hair strokes are $650 here, covering the design hour, the appointment and the aftercare. Blade microblading is not sold as a standalone service here at all; it exists inside the combination brow at $600. A price only means something alongside what it covers, which is why what is in it is listed beside it.

That depends on your skin and on how long each holds up on it, which varies enough that a cost-per-month figure would not mean much. What is worth knowing is that machine strokes are gentler on the skin than a blade, and that correcting work later costs more than doing it once.

Nano generally holds longer than blade microblading, and both hold longer on dry skin than on oily. No interval is published here as a measured figure, because the honest version of it is a fact about her own clients rather than an industry number: see the pricing page for the refresh intervals she actually prices. The reason for the difference is that a machine needle deposits pigment without cutting the skin, so the skin closes over the deposit rather than around a cut.

Of the two, nano. Microblading uses a manual blade that cuts into the skin, and on oily skin those cuts heal poorly and the strokes blur. Nano uses a single machine needle that deposits pigment without cutting, so a stroke keeps its edge for longer. Which of them suits your skin is a question Mugi answers after looking at it, not one this page can answer in advance. On oily skin she would generally suggest neither, and shade instead.

No — nano brows are generally less painful. Nano tends to be the more comfortable of the two. A single needle vibrating is a different sensation from a blade cutting, and people describe it that way. The single nano needle vibrating at high frequency is gentler than a microblading blade slicing the skin. Topical numbing cream is used throughout both procedures.

Yes, switching from microblading to nano is a common enough request. If your old microblading has faded naturally, she can apply nano brows directly. If there is remaining pigment, discoloration, or blurred strokes, she may recommend a correction session first. Send her a photo of the existing work so she can tell you which of the two it is.

Nano takes longer in the chair and uses different consumables: a digital machine and single nano needles, where blade microblading uses a hand tool. A machine gives more control over depth than a blade does. At Ink Mugi nano brows are $650. As above: a price only means something next to what it includes.

Healed nano brows retain ultra-fine, crisp hair strokes that closely mimic natural brow hairs. Healed microblading strokes often appear softer, wider, and can develop a blurred or "smudged" look, especially on oily skin. Machine strokes tend to hold their definition longer than blade strokes do.
