COSMETIC BROW TATTOOING MELBOURNE

Brow feathering can transform your tired, overplucked, shapeless brows with the flick of our experienced magical hands and some incredible hair strokes into fabulous, full, shapely natural looking eyebrows – welcoming your brows into the 21st Century.

Brow Feathering is performed with either a microblade or machine nano strokes and is ideal for all skin types.

Brow Feathering is fabulous for any eyebrow thickness; feathering will enhance a thin eyebrow and create a fuller, more shapely brow. But at the same time, only some people necessarily want fuller, fatter brows; we can still keep your brows on the thinner side but create a better brow shape for you.

Brow ‘Feathering’ is used for creating hair strokes/lines in the brow. Feathering can be performed with a microblade or machine; microblading is the actual tool used (when brow feathering).

Eyebrow feathering typically heals in approximately 4 weeks to heal, but of course results vary per individual. Your visual healing is approx 7 days and durig the first 7-10 days you must adhere STRICTLY to the aftercare. During the healing period your eyebrows may appear darker, fatter and the strokes more defined before fading to a more natural, softer, lighter look.

Feathering is considered a more natural-looking technique than ombre brows. Feathering uses a microblade to create the look of hair strokes, while ombre brows involve using a digital hand piece delivering a solid shading technique to create a more dramatic, drawn on brow. Ombre is perfect for people who tend to wear a full face of makeup every day, as Ombre / Powder brows offer a more solid, fully filled in shaded brow. Feathering is the preferred option if you want to achieve a more subtle, natural-looking brow result.

Feathering is a semi-permanent tattoo, lasting approx 10-24 months gently fading over time, depending on the individual’s home care, skin care etc, without fear of the terrible salmon / orange / grey discolouration of the brow pigment. It is highly recommended you return for a Colour Refresh approx each 8-14 months to maintain optimum brow pigment results and brow definition.

Avoid getting the brows wet, refrain from heavy exercise, hot steamy showers, saunas, spas and exposing brows to sun and chemicals during the healing period. This can lead to pigment not being able to stabilise on the skins surface during the healing perios and will result in pigment loss, patchy brow results.  We do not want the brows to scab following feathering as the scab will lift the pigment when it comes off, picking at the brows during healing can also result in infection, scarring, pigment loss and poor results.

TWICE DAILY ; Gently clean the brows with a damp cotton round followed by applying a thin layer of recommended aftercare gel. Avoid exercise, hot steamy showers, saunas, spas, sweating, makeup, sun exposure, and facials for the next 7-10 days.

Benefits of eyebrow feathering is a natural-looking, fuller brow result with delicate fine, hair-like strokes. Results look soft and subtle and the semi-permanent results mean you don’t need to fill your brows daily. Also with the natural brow look the beauty of this is if you want to achieve a more dramatic, bold brow look for the evening your brow shape is there for you to follow and simply add more drama with a darker brow powder – dramatic bold brow look achieved in an instant.

Eyebrows can appear darker and fatter for the first 5-7 days following feathering before the colour begin to soften. The eyebrows take approx 7 days to heal visually and 4 weeks overall healing. In the first 2 weeks is when the most visual changes occur, initially it will appear darker and then the pigment will go lighter, then again the pigment will push back once the skin is healed over the hair stroke we’ve created and the pigment colour returns to the surface.

The only thing you should ever put on the brows whilst they are healing is the aftercare gel which we show you at your first feathering appointment. Do not apply any products, moisturisers, oils of any kind.

Most people tolerate feathering well. Like any pain each individual tolerates pain on varying levels. There can be mild to moderate pain and discomfort during the treatment, we are penetrating the skin albeit its similar to that of a tiny paper cut. The most annoying and uncomfortable feeling clients experience is that feathering feels like when you’re having a hair tweezed it  gives you the sensation of wanting to sneeze or makes your eyes teary. Numbing cream is recommended to help reduce pain, client discomfort is usually very short lived.

The most important thing to consider prior to brow feathering is finding the right place and the brow expert that you feel most comfortable with.. You need someone with years of brow tattooing experience, not just brow sculpting experience. Do your research to find the most reputable places and the brow artist with proven tattooing experience.. Consider your natural brow shape and if feathering will achieve your desired brow goals. Following the brow feathering treatment for a week, be prepared to avoid getting the brows directly wet, no intense, sweaty exercise and ensure no skin care products touch the brows during the healing period. Feathering requires Colour Refresh touch-ups, so ensure you can commit to those appointments and costs.
