What Is Eyebrow Feathering?
Eyebrow feathering is also known as cosmetic tattooing, and it is a technique that involves depositing pigment into the skin in order to enhance the natural shape of the eyebrows. It is a very special technique that uses delicate hair strokes, meaning that individual hairs are recreated along the brow for a natural look. The first step you should take is booking a free initial consultation, where we can discuss your needs, evaluate your face shape, explain how the treatment works, and give you important instructions you should stick to before and after the procedure.
About The Procedure
The first thing you need to know about eyebrow feathering is the fact that this procedure isn’t completely painless. As it is conducted on a sensitive part of the face, where the skin is quite thin, you can expect to feel some discomfort. Our beauty expert can always apply a numbing agent if you require, so that the whole experience is easier to endure. The preparations include picking the perfect eyebrow design and choosing the appropriate pigment colour. A topical numbing cream will be applied to your skin for extra comfort, and this step will then be followed by the feathering process.
This technique involves drawing each individual hair stroke onto your eyebrows until the desired fullness and shape are achieved. An extremely precise blade will be used to create the look of those individual hairs. The cuts aren’t very deep – these are only as deep as the superficial layers of the epidermis (the top skin layer). A dye will be applied over the top of those cuts and then absorbed into the incisions.
The Benefits Of Eyebrow Feathering
The benefits of an eyebrow tattoo are multiple. The first and the most obvious benefit is giving a gorgeous shape and definition to your eyes, as this procedure can create the desired shape, density, and colour. This type of cosmetic tattoo saves a lot of time in the long run simply because you won’t have to struggle to apply brow makeup and then remove it every single day. Of course, people who have sparse brows can benefit from this procedure as opting for cosmetic tattooing in Sydney will make their brows appear much fuller and natural-looking.
Eyebrow feathering is often chosen by people who already have naturally sculpted arches. Their ultimate goal is improved volume and fullness of the brows, which is why drawing on fine hair strokes is the perfect choice for filling in the gaps for a more natural result. On the other hand, eyebrow tattooing is a better option for people who have very thin and/or over-plucked eyebrows. This procedure will transform such brows into neat, sculpted arches that feature more fullness and volume.
How To Prep For Eyebrow Feathering?
In order to properly prepare for eyebrow feathering in Sydney, the most important step is scheduling your consultation with our beauty experts at Skinnovation Laser Clinic. Our experienced professionals will help you determine what type of eyebrow shape will enhance your facial features in the best possible way. They will also show you some before and after images of their work to give you confidence in the procedure and assist you choosing the design you would like.
You will be asked to stop plucking and waxing your eyebrows at least several weeks before the actual procedure so that our technician can use as much of your natural hair as possible to form the right shape. You should stay away from harsh face scrubs and other aggressive skincare products which can potentially damage your skin and further aggravate any skin condition in that particular area. Medication and supplements such as ibuprofen, fish oil, alcohol, and medications that cause blood thinning effects should be avoided as these can cause excessive bleeding both during and after an eyebrow feathering procedure.
Recovery Period And Results
As eyebrow feathering is a somewhat painful procedure, you can expect your brows to take some time to heal after the procedure is done. Even though your new eyebrows will look flawless in a photo on your phone, the reality is that they will look quite weird in real life. They will seem much darker than they should be and they will be accompanied by redness, swelling, and a little bit of blood. These are temporary side effect and not a cause for concern, as they typically subside in a very short period of time, whereas your brows are likely to become even bigger and darker the next day.
Your new brows will start to calm down in the next day or two. The main reason for your brows looking so dark immediately after cosmetic tattooing in Sydney is the pigment rubbed into the new hairs remains on the skin, while the miniature scabs are forming as you heal at the same time. The surface pigment will disappear bit by bit, so be patient and wait for 4 or 5 days for your brows to look absolutely flawless!
