MICROFEATHERING®
Kristie Streicher’s signature microblading concept, Microfeathering® creates the illusion of a fuller, natural brow. Perfecting the art of fine hair-like semi-permanent strokes, sparse areas of the eyebrow are filled in to create the most realistic looking ideal brow shape.
This service requires and intial consultation to review if you are a good candidate for the service. The procedure is performed by depositing pigment superficially into the epidermis of the eyebrow. After numbing the area with a topical cream, small incisions are created, using a fine and very precise blade. Pigment is then deposited into the incisions, resulting in an incredibly natural-appearing “eyebrow hair.” Microfeathering® is not a three-dimensional procedure and is therefore not meant to create an entirely new eyebrow, but more of a way to refine and define a natural eyebrow.
WHAT TO EXPECT
RECOMMENDED BEFORE BOOKING
We require all clients start by seeing a Nurtured Brow® specialist prior for a consultation. You must require approval for this process. In most cases, a brow growth and cultivation plan will be necessary. This is how we achieve the natural and beautiful results of Microfeathering®. If you have had any previous semi-permanent make up in the brow area, you will need to wait until it has completely faded. Learn about our Pigment Removal Service.
TIMING OF APPOINTMENT
The first appointment takes 1.5-2 hours. The follow-up appointment (the perfecting service) lasts 1 hour and should be booked 6-8 weeks following the initial appointment.
DURATION OF PIGMENT
The semi-permanent hair stokes fade gradually over the course of 12-18 months. Touch-ups every 7-9 months are recommended to keep brows looking fresh and consistent.
DOWNTIME
There is no formal downtime after Microfeathering® - however it is very important that following your appointment, some swelling, redness, bruising, itching can be expected. Your newly pigmented eyebrows will look a shade or two darker for the first few days, then lighten within the first week. To help the healing process after treatment, keep thin layers of Neosporin and SPF 30+ on the brows at all times. Keep exercise and excessive sweating t a minimum for at least one week, or some pigment may fade or be lost. Alpha Hydroxy acid products, retinoids, and any exfoliating treatments (such as microdermabrasion) should be avoided no less than 2 weeks prior to Microfeathering®. Chemical/laser peels or Botox treatments should be avoided for no less than 6 weeks prior to Microfeathering®.
