Nanoblading is a newer form of microblading, which is a manual method of semi-permanent makeup. Nanoblading is performed by using a very fine blade composed of tiny needles which deposit ink into the epidermis (top layer of the skin).

The strokes are placed within the first layer of the skin which allows the strokes to be crisp and fine, like hair.

This technique is ideal for anyone interested in enhancing their natural brows. Natural hair growth is not a deciding factor—those with sparse hair growth will benefit as much as those with fuller eyebrows.

The brows will appear darker at first, however, the color fades anywhere from 30-40% from the initial appointment.

Touch ups are recommended as it is hard to determine how much pigment will actually stick, some experience little fading where others fade quite a bit.

Each client receives a brow ointment and a small spray bottle containing all-natural essential oil soap.

Once home, clients are instructed to fill the spray bottle with bottled water (not tap) and shake before each use. The brow ointment is to be used sparingly after each time the brows are cleansed.

Our aftercare regimen is discussed in-depth with clients and heavily encouraged.

Nanoblading heals best in a clean hydrated environment. Adhering to this aftercare regimen is the client's responsibility. Extensive pigment and shape loss may occur if these instructions are not correctly followed.

No, both are semi-permanent makeup procedures that will eventually fade if not properly maintained.

The procedure is the same however the type of blade used is different. A Nano blade is a thinner blade with a higher needle count allowing for finer, more realistic strokes.

Touch-up appointments are an excellent opportunity to make subtle changes, like adding size, length, or depth in color if requested.

Touch ups are suggested within 4-6 weeks of the initial appointment in order to redistribute pigment in any areas that may have faded. If a client cannot return within 6 weeks, there may be additional charges if pigment and shape have significantly faded.

An annual touch up is recommended after the 4-6 week appointment for optimal shape and color appearance.

We only use the best ink on the market! We spare no expense in this department as the color and retention of brows are our main concern.

We currently use the Brow Daddy Pigment Collection. Brow Daddy Pigments have a high retention of approximately 80-100% and a wide variety of colors to match our clients’ natural brow colors. Brow Daddy’s warm and cool tones are excellent for microblading correction.

Neither of these procedures are recommended for pregnant or nursing mothers. Although there is almost no risk of infection, a slight chance exists due to the breaking of the skin.

With our clients’ best interests at heart, we do not perform nanoblading on pregnant or nursing mothers. Click these links to view our other brow shaping services or to book a future nanoblading appointment.

Yes and no, everyone’s pain tolerance is different. Some clients aren’t affected at all, and some are a little more sensitive. We offer an extremely effective numbing agent which is applied to the skin during our second pass. The majority of the time clients feel nothing. A subtle scratching sound can be heard while placing strokes—not bothersome to most, however, we play music in the background to help put you at ease. We welcome your favorite playlists as well!

Zero to minimal swelling is expected around the eyebrows. After care is thoroughly discussed with each of our clients.

No. The natural hairs are unaffected as strokes are placed in between them.

Procell Therapies Microchanneling is an innovative, first of its kind transformational skin treatment that combats fine lines and wrinkles, shrinks pores, diminishes hyperpigmentation, smooths the texture of skin, and diminishes the appearance of scaring from acne.

They are one in the same however…. Microchanneling is a stamping method opposed to Microneedling which drags microneedles across the skin. Both processes induce skin regeneration and collagen induction. PROCELL Microchanneling provides all the benefits with less trauma and virtually no downtime.

A single Procell treatment creates hundreds of thousands of microchannels. In response to each micro-injury, an inflammatory healing process begins which initiates the formation of new collagen. Over time, the repeated healing process improves the surface texture and the overall appearance of the skin.

Microchanneling (an evolved form of microneedling) preserves the integrity of the skin while yielding the same regenerative results. What’s the difference? Linear stamping + Growth-Factor serums derived from the human mesenchymal stem cells.

This is microneedling evolved. Results are immediate, healing is scarless and there is no down time.
