Microblading vs. Nano Brows: Why Advanced Aesthetics Prefers Nano

Beautiful, full, and perfectly shaped eyebrows can transform your entire face — framing your eyes, softening features, and giving you a more youthful appearance. Today, two of the most popular treatments for enhancing brows are microblading and nano brows. While both fall under the umbrella of semi-permanent makeup, the techniques and results are very different. At Advanced Aesthetics Medical Spa & Laser Center, we’ve carefully chosen to specialize in nano brows because they deliver safer, longer-lasting, and more natural-looking results for our clients.

What is Microblading?

Microblading has been a buzzword in the beauty world for years. The technique involves using a handheld tool with a row of tiny blades to create small incisions in the skin. Pigment is then manually deposited into these cuts to mimic the look of natural brow hairs.

The benefits:

Microblading can create the appearance of fuller brows relatively quickly.
It’s widely available and often considered the “gateway” to cosmetic tattooing.
Many clients love the instant enhancement.

The drawbacks:

Because the technique involves making tiny cuts, it can be more traumatic to the skin.
Over time, repeated microblading sessions may lead to scarring or changes in skin texture.
On oily or sensitive skin types, pigment often fades quickly, blurs, or turns uneven.
Results can look less natural as the skin heals and changes.

What Are Nano Brows?

Nano brows represent the next generation of cosmetic brow tattooing. Instead of using a blade, nano brows are created with an ultra-fine tattoo machine and needle that implants pigment into the skin in a more controlled and gentle way. This method mimics the same hair-like strokes as microblading but does so with far greater precision and less trauma.

The benefits of nano brows:

Less trauma to the skin: Because no cutting is involved, the risk of scarring is greatly reduced.
More precise, natural results: The fine digital needle allows for ultra-realistic strokes that blend seamlessly with your natural brows.
Better for all skin types: Unlike microblading, nano brows work well on oily, mature, or sensitive skin.
Longer-lasting: Results can last 1–3 years depending on your skin type and lifestyle, with color fading more evenly.
Improved healing: Most clients experience smoother healing and fewer complications.

The only drawback:

Nano brows can take slightly longer to perform due to the precision of the technique, but the benefits far outweigh the extra time.

Why We Prefer Nano Brows at Advanced Aesthetics

At Advanced Aesthetics, our priority is always the health of your skin, the safety of the procedure, and the longevity of your results. While microblading was once considered the gold standard, nano brows now provide a superior alternative for most clients.

We recommend nano brows because they are:

✅ Safer for your skin – no cutting, less trauma, and reduced risk of scarring.
✅ Better long-term investment – longer-lasting results mean fewer touch-ups.
✅ Universally suitable – works beautifully on oily, sensitive, and mature skin types.
✅ More natural results – ultra-fine strokes that look like real hair.
✅ Evidence-based – aligns with our medical approach to aesthetics, prioritizing skin health and healing.

By choosing nano brows, you’re not only enhancing your beauty today, but also protecting your skin for the future.
