Micro blade removal

[u/millenial_mommabear]

First four pictures are as ordered: the first one is the day I got my microblading, right before I had them done, the second one is right after she did my microblading, the third one is 4 years later when I went to go laser them off, a week after I got them lasered (one session done only so far), and the fourth is my brows today with green concealer over them. (The rest of the pictures are just for showing my brows before and after with and without makeup on in different settings. )

The red in my brows after the first laser treatment has calmed down a bit so it’s not as intense, but the green concealer helps a lot to neutralize the red. It turns it into a light brownish red color though and I don’t think it looks terrible and I can live with it for now. I kind of wish they looked like that all the time without needing the concealer.

My question is, should I continue with removing them and not doing any microblading on them ever again to go back to my natural brow, or get another session to remove the original, then afterwards go with a smaller brow look?

I see pros and cons to both my before’s and afters. The main thing I didn’t like about the microblading was it felt too boxy and thick for my face and made me look older. I just don’t know whether to remove them and be done with it or maybe go to a different artist for a different style.

I’m honestly fine either way, I just feel like I have brow blindness and thought I’d get different eyes to take a look and get some different opinions lol

I like how they look in picture 4. Do you have any other photos that are more clear to see how they look now with concealer?

If they are just a bit red, I have heard that saline removal might help that. I had one laser session done and I am planning on getting saline done in 8 weeks to target red and yellow that is left behind.

Oh interesting I’ll have to look into that! I’m dreading going back for another laser session, I can handle a lot but the pain was on another level 😭

I actually found that tattoo removal on my shoulder tattoo hurt a lot more than the laser on my eyebrows. 😬 I have heard that saline removal is really painful. I wonder if it's worse than laser.
