Microfeathering is like a patented technique that is similar to microblading. It differs from microblading because it does not work on the entire brow – instead, it focuses on the areas of sparse growth that needs to be filled in. Read our Microblading vs Microfeathering guide to find out more…
Microblading vs Microfeathering
Advocates say that the microfeathering Liverpool technique gives the most natural-looking brows of all. The goal is to create tiny hair-like strokes that look as real as possible. This means that it is important to make sure that the skin between the hairs is still seen. Microfeathering requires up to 12 months of eyebrow “growth training”. During this time, the brows are only tweezed every six to eight weeks.
After growing out the hair, a treatment session is scheduled with the client. The process is:
- In the first session, the skin is tested to make sure the client is not allergic to the pigment. Iron oxide pigments are used. These are safe on the skin and absorbed by the body over time.
- Next, the technician begins working on the denser parts of the brow to test the pigment, structure, and the way the hair strokes look.
- The next session is six to eight weeks after the first to allow for proper healing of the skin. The brows are filled in with extra strokes. The entire process may take three or more sessions.
Microfeathering lasts between eight to 12 months. After a year a touch-up session is needed. The pigment does not totally disappear nut the residual colour begins to look light and unnatural. It is a high-end technique that involves a lot of preparation, but the results really do speak for themselves.
