Question 1

Does Feather Touch hurt?

Accepted Answer

The most frequently asked question is does Feather Touch Hurt! The answer is no. We pre numb the area for around 1 hour with a triple action numbing cream to ensure the treatment is pain free. During the treatment if required we can top your pain relief up with a fast acting gel. While the sensation is slightly uncomfortable, the treatment is over and done with quickly. Clients say that the part they dislike the most is the noise, Feather Touch sounds slightly “clicky” or “scrapey”.

Question 2

Does Feather Touch bleed?

Accepted Answer

No, we use a tiny little row of needles to create a scratch on the surface of the skin.

Question 3

Is a scalpel or blade used for Feather Touch?

Accepted Answer

No, we use a tiny little row of needles to create a scratch on the surface of the skin but we do call this tool a “blade”.

Question 4

Does Microblading damage or scar your skin?

Accepted Answer

Scarring and skin damage is purely the Artist and not the tool. All permanent makeup treatments, when trained & practised by qualified and experienced professionals on a suitable skin will not cause excessive scarring or damage. Microblading specifically is a very difficult skill to perform and very hard to perfect. All of our therapists have undergone multiple training courses, and have several years of industry experience behind them before they even touch the faces of models let alone clients. Once we deem their service predictable and safe we will open that therapist to clients, this process takes a number of months and we ensure in every instance we see hundreds of healed results before we offer appointments. In addition all of our therapists undertake ongoing further education in order to keep up with the latest in products and techniques available worldwide. There are some cases where old generation pigments can leave a warm skin stain after strokes fade and clients do not continue maintenance however this is commonly dealt with and can be corrected easily - this is not considered skin damage. Like any cosmetic treatment, there are risks associated and these risks in any instance are outlined to you clearly prior to any treatment with us.

Question 5

What's the difference between Feather Touch brow reconstruction and Feather Touch brows? How do I know which one I am?

Accepted Answer

Feather Touch Brow treatment is suitable for clients who have reasonably good brows to begin with and don't want to make major changes to where the brows sit, or their shape. Brow Reconstruction is for any client who has uneven, thin, over plucked or non existent brows to begin with, Reconstruction is performed over 3 sessions by a very experienced Brow Artist to ensure that the result blends well with the natural hair or in the case there is no natural hair that the face is mapped to ensure the brow is encompassed on the brow fat pad in order to move naturally. In addition an extremely experienced artist is needed to complete what we call a comprehensive stroke pattern, these stroke patterns are necessary to achieve the most realistic results on clients who have little to no hair. We will when you fill out your online consultation be able to advise which treatments and therapists you are well suited to see.

Question 6

How do I look after my Feather Touch brows once I have had them done?

Accepted Answer

We send you away with a care Kit for your new brows, the instructions can vary slightly if you have had any contraindications during the treatment, but generally speaking we like you to keep them free from Sun, Sweat, Steam and avoid swimming for the 5 days following your treatment. Apply healing cream around 5 x a day for those 5 days, and ensure active skincare stays well away from the brows for the duration of their lifetime.

Question 7

I have had my brows Feather Touched and they seem to have faded really badly?

Accepted Answer

Normal! At around the 5 day mark you can expect your brows to fade a lot, for some people they are relieved and others are disappointed. This is part of the process for us to perfect the colour as everyones skin science is so different. That said, we are pretty good at predicting what a clients skin will do, so often the tone is perfect it just needs more layers to look complete.

Question 8

I have had my brows Feather Touched and they seem to have healed to nearly nothing?

Accepted Answer

This is expected in many cases. At around the 5 day mark you can expect your brows to fade a lot, for some people they are relieved and others are disappointed. This is part of the process for us to perfect the colour as everyones skin science is so different. That said, we are pretty good at predicting what a clients skin will do, so often the tone is perfect it just needs more layers to look complete.

Question 9

I have had my brows Feather Touched and they seem to be really dark?

Accepted Answer

Overnight your brows will darken, they will be their darkest at around day 3. Fortunately and unfortunately for some they will lighten at around day 5-6 and will continue to lighten for another week to 10 days, but we rely on your feedback to ensure we complete your second and third treatments to perfection.

Question 10

My friend had hers done and they look different to mine?

Accepted Answer

We approach each client differently to achieve their desired result, but also to work with their skin, hair & health. If your friends brows look different to yours thats to be expected, should you wish to make changes at your next appointment please let your therapist know and she can discuss your options. No set of Feather Touch Brows heals the same, skin type, colour and medications being the main factors however we will let you know during consultation if we don't think that you will get your desired result.

Question 11

I have had my brows Feather Touched and I think they might be uneven or need a few more strokes?

Accepted Answer

Once you’ve had your brows done you'll be looking at yourself a lot, you might notice imperfections you didn't realise existed before. The brows are a very expressive part of the face, and can sit differently when laughing, smiling, crying or even just talking. Throughout the sessions you can expect increased balance but they will never be perfect - Sisters not twins! If your brows are over plucked, uneven or undergoing a full reconstruction you can expect them to be uneven especially after the first session due to the spacing techniques we use for the best blending long term.

Question 12

Do I need to book my follow up sessions in advance? How far apart should I space them?

Accepted Answer

Yes! It is very important to book your follow up sessions in advance to avoid long wait times or disappointment. We work always on a fully booked diary, so have little room to move with squeezing in new bookings. We suggest you book all appointments in advance, and space them 4-6 weeks apart depending on what dates and times we have that suit you. If you are 100% committed to your new brows we recommend you book a 12-18 monthly refresh at your final appointment.

Question 13

How long does it last?

Accepted Answer

Depending on your skin type, age & medications you can generally expect to get a year out of your Feather Touch Brows before they need a colour refresh. Colour refreshing is a one off treatment you'll need done yearly. Your therapist will give you a good expectation of upkeep at the time of your first appointment.

Question 14

Does Feather Touch eliminate the need for tinting & shaping?

Accepted Answer

No, Feather Touch is completed on the skin and does not effect hair growth. Brows will still need to be shaped and in some cases tinted ongoing for the best results. You'll find your tattoo gets a little lost in the hair if you don't maintain them.

Question 15

I have had them done a year ago and decided I don't want to have them done again. What will happen to what I have got?

Accepted Answer

Eventually it will fade out to natural skin, in the meantime it will be very easy to draw your brows on as you'll still have a base to work with! In some cases where a client has had their brows done several times or with an older generation pigment, we may need to run over the brow with a salt based solution to help the remaining colour leave the skin.
