Common Fears and Concerns About Microblading

Microblading, along with other eyebrow enhancement techniques such as microshading and the very latest technique known as nano brows, have emerged as sought-after permanent makeup solutions for individuals aiming to attain fuller, natural-looking brows. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, it's normal to have concerns. This page aims to address common fears and provide clarity to help you make an informed decision regarding these innovative eyebrow enhancement solutions.


At Ellebrow Microblading & Permanent Makeup Studio NYC, we provide a spectrum of eyebrow enhancement services, enabling our clients to choose the technique that aligns perfectly with their desired look and lifestyle.


Eyebrow Enhancement Techniques at Ellebrow:

  • Microblading: Microblading is a permanent makeup technique that creates hair-like strokes to fill in sparse or thinning brows, offering a natural look that lasts for 1 to 3 years.

Newest Microblading Style Technique:

  • Nano Brows (Hair Stroke Brows): Utilizing a single needle on a small hand-held machine, nano brows craft more natural-looking strokes, providing a subtler enhancement compared to microblading.

Alternative Technique:

  • Powder Ombre Brows (Microshading): This technique combines the soft, powdered look of traditional brow makeup with the pinpoint dot technique, offering a fuller yet natural appearance with longer-lasting results.


Each technique has unique advantages catering to various preferences and skin types. Your choice will depend on your desired look, skin type, and pain tolerance, among other factors.


In the sections to follow, we’ll delve into common fears and concerns surrounding microblading, which are equally applicable to all of the techniques, and how Ellebrow’s professional expertise provides a comforting resolution.


Common Fears and Concerns:


Pain and Discomfort:

The thought of a blade coming near the eye area can indeed evoke fear. However, at Ellebrow, topical numbing agents are applied to ensure a comfortable experience. Most clients rate the discomfort as minimal, at 1-3 on a scale of 10. Some clients doze off in the middle of their treatment!

Results Not Meeting Expectations:

The fear of unsatisfactory results is valid. At Ellebrow, we prioritize client satisfaction by offering extensive pre-treatment consultation and design sessions with mock-ups on your face, ensuring your expectations align with the final outcome.

Longevity of Results:
