Achieving perfectly shaped eyebrows can significantly enhance your facial features. In Victoria, BC, various techniques are available to help you attain your desired brow look. This article delves into two popular methods: Nano Brows and Microblading, providing detailed information to help you make an informed decision.
Nano brows are created using a device/tattoo machine and a single needle to mimic the look of realistic hair strokes by implanting pigment beneath the skin. This technique is a form of cosmetic tattooing designed to add density to existing eyebrow hair or create a completely natural-looking set of eyebrows for those who experience partial or complete hair loss. Nano brows are a great option for those who have oily skin and can oftentimes be used to color-correct or cover-up previous brow tattooing.
The nano brow procedure involves using a fine needle to deposit pigment into the skin, creating the illusion of individual hair strokes. This method is particularly effective for individuals with oily skin, as the pigment tends to hold better compared to other techniques.
Microblading is a form of cosmetic tattooing. This technique is used to create the look of realistic hair strokes by implanting pigment beneath the skin. Microblading can help to add density to existing eyebrow hair or create a completely natural-looking set of eyebrows for those who experience partial or complete hair loss. Our client list includes those who have Alopecia or other autoimmune disorders, Trichotillomania, hair loss due to Chemotherapy, as well as those who are merely looking for a fuller set of brows.
Similar to nano brows, microblading involves implanting pigment beneath the skin to create the appearance of realistic hair strokes. Highly-effective, topical anaesthetics are used before and during your procedure. This technique is suitable for individuals looking to add density to their existing brows or create a completely new set.

To ensure the best possible results, it's essential to follow specific guidelines before your microblading appointment.
A minimum of two treatments are usually needed, at least 8 weeks apart. Everyone heals differently and at different rates. At the second session, we will assess the colour retention and make adjustments as necessary. If your cosmetic tattoo does not heal perfectly after the first session, do not worry. We can always go darker and add more density at your next appointment.
The initial session lays the foundation for your new brows, while the subsequent session allows for adjustments and refinements. This ensures that the final result is perfectly tailored to your individual needs and preferences.
Those with oily skin may experience hairstrokes that heal with a diffused, softer look. If you have little to no existing hair, your tattoo will appear more 2-dimensional than those clients who have more hair naturally. If you are iron deficient or Anemic, your pigment may fade sooner and bleeding/bruising may occur during and after the procedure.
PLEASE NOTE: If you have had your eyebrows previously tattooed we cannot guarantee results. In cases where the previous work is too dark, dense, discoloured, or large, tattoo removal will be highly recommended before our services will be considered. Previously tattooed areas will almost always require additional sessions and will be charged accordingly. Please send us photos PRIOR to booking so that we can ensure that your brows are workable. Failure to do so could result in the loss of deposit.

Several factors can influence how long your nano brows or microbladed brows will last. Skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare all play a role in the longevity of the pigment.
Oily skin may cause the hairstrokes to heal with a softer, more diffused look. This means that individuals with oily skin may require more frequent touch-ups to maintain the desired definition.
Exposure to the sun and tanning beds can cause the pigment to fade more quickly. It is highly recommended that you avoid SUN and TANNING BED exposure for 30 days BEFORE and AFTER your procedure.
Following the recommended aftercare instructions is crucial for ensuring the longevity of your cosmetic tattoo. This includes avoiding excessive sweating, direct sunlight, and certain skincare products.
Refreshers are recommended every 1-2 years to maintain shape, colour and detail.
