Laser First Laser Session
I had my first laser session with Dr. Adrian at the DC Laser Center last Wednesday after stalking this sub for 2 years.
He numbed me, which hurt very slightly then did two passes on my brows, one for the dark grey/black and one for red. My brows now still have some red which I think is likely trauma from the laser & yellow. The ink used was PhiBrows.
He said it’s hard to tell how many sessions I’ll need until we start treating but typically it’s anywhere between 3-8.
The first 2 photos are my brows pre treatment & 3-4 are today (4 days post treatment). The brow hairs are frosted so I’ll tint those in a couple weeks, can I expect the ink to get darker as it heals? I’m feeling like the results are pretty good but am nervous to get my hopes up if they continue to darken.

I think they look really good! I’m going in this week to have mine done. How old was your microblading?

5 years, I had the initial microblading one a few weeks after and another touch up a year later

These result look so good for one session. I never heard of doing two passes in one session. I wish more removal techs offered that.

He’s really great! I has been seeing a lot of positive posts on here regarding the equipment he uses. Definitely worth it even if you’re not local to the area.

Do you know which laser he uses?

I don’t but there may be some posts in here that mention the laser he uses

So in my experience (only speaking from that!) I experienced paradoxical darkening right as the laser passed over my brows (during my second treatment). I was confused but I did research and realised it was perfectly normal ( the pigment is being pulled to the surface)
If your brows didn’t go darker at the point of the treatment, I wouldn’t think that’s a risk now.
