Rotary device needles vibrate and tend to tear the skin. Digital device needles are more precise, smoother on the skin, and use less pigment.

The Sapphire Pro has a Japan made motor, with less strength and running time. Pro devices can only be used with the 4-speed power supply. We do not recommend the Pro to be used with Precision Needles because the needles require a stronger motor for pigment implantation. The Sapphire Elite has a German made motor and is compatible with the iStar power source and the 4-speed power control. We recommend using Precision Needles with this device but the Elite can also be used with the Sapphire Pro series needles.

Yes! Our #15 Microblading Midas is a manual shader.

Blue Ice is the most popular anesthetic, however it is important to know it only works when applied to broken skin. If applied pre-procedure, without opening the skin it will not work. For a pre-procedure anesthetic we recommend either Zensa or Numpot.
