Microblading vs Hyperrealism Brows

Absolutely! We specialize in correcting and enhancing old microblading. Depending on how faded your microblading is, we may be able to work over it immediately, or we may use removal/lightening techniques first. We'll create a custom plan during your consultation to transition you to beautiful, long-lasting hyperrealism brows. Many clients wish they'd started with hyperrealism!

Hyperrealism creates superior natural results. Our nano-needles produce ultra-fine hair strokes with varied thickness and 3D depth that perfectly mimic real brow hairs. We can layer strokes and add subtle shading for dimension. Microblading blade strokes are often uniform, flat, and can look harsh or drawn-on. The difference is especially noticeable up close and as the brows age.

Oily skin produces excess sebum that causes microblading blade strokes to blur and "bleed" together, creating a smudged or foggy appearance instead of crisp hair strokes. The pigment doesn't retain well in oily skin's larger pores. Our Hyperrealism Method uses a digital device with controlled depth and specialized techniques that work beautifully on oily skin, keeping strokes crisp and defined.

Microblading uses a manual blade that creates shallow cuts in the epidermis (top skin layer). This layer sheds cells constantly, causing pigment to fade quickly. Our digital device places pigment at a more optimal depth with consistent precision, resulting in better retention. Additionally, our premium organic pigments are specifically formulated for longevity, while many microblading pigments are lower quality and fade rapidly.

Actually, most clients find hyperrealism less painful! While microblading involves dragging a blade across the skin (which many describe as scratching or cutting), our digital device uses a gentle tapping motion with topical numbing cream. The sensation is more like light pressure or vibration. Pain tolerance varies by person, but the majority report hyperrealism as more comfortable than microblading.

This is a very common problem we fix! Microblading pigments often turn gray, red, or orange due to poor quality pigments or incorrect color selection for your skin tone. We offer color correction services using specialized pigments to neutralize unwanted tones. We may need to use saline removal or laser lightening first, then apply our Hyperrealism Method with properly color-matched pigments that won't change over time. We'll walk you through the entire correction process.

While hyperrealism may cost slightly more upfront, it's actually more economical long-term. You're paying for: advanced digital equipment, premium organic pigments, specialized artist training, and results that last 2-3x longer. When you factor in fewer touch-ups needed over 5 years, hyperrealism typically saves you $800-$1,600 compared to microblading. Plus, you get superior results that age beautifully - that's priceless!
