Microblading vs Breath Brows™ — which one is right for you?

Microblading is a manual technique that uses a hand-held blade to deposit pigment in fine cuts. It produces beautiful, defined hairstrokes — but only on the right skin types: ideally normal-to-dry, non-reactive skin.

Breath Brows™ uses a digital machine to plant pigment with vertical micro-impacts. It is significantly less traumatic, works on a much wider range of skin types (including oily, mature and reactive skin), and tends to heal with crisper detail.

If you have oily or mature skin, very thin or scarred skin, or if you have had previous PMU work, Breath Brows™ is almost always the safer and more reliable choice. For very dry, untouched skin we may still recommend classic PhiBrows microblading — we will tell you honestly during your consultation.
