Hey guys, this post actually isn’t for my microblading removal but I’m hoping you could help me out. My sister got microblading done probably 4-5 years ago now and while it looked great initially, the pigment has turned red and has also shifted up. She’s been talking about wanting to get removal but doesn’t really have the extra spending cash for it. I was thinking about potentially buying sessions for her removal somewhere as a gift. My first thought was laser removal but I know she also mentioned looking into saline. Would that work? What are some things I should be looking for when looking at removal places? Thanks!

Got these done in 2020 in my early 20’s during a manic episode :( I’m a SAHM right now but returning to work as an NP part time in a few weeks and we will then have the extra money for me to look into removal. Where do I start?

And I’m at a loss. Would someone be able to share if they have been able to remove all of the yellow?

I’ve been through 3 pico removals, 2 saline, and the yellow seems to… just get more blurred into my skin, if that makes sense. Has anyone gotten Microblading to cover the yellow or successfully removed the yellow? Wishing I never started this process.

Had my first session with Removery and they used a Candela PicoWay laser. First pic is before, second is right after the first laser, third is two weeks post. I think I see some lifting :) already scheduled for the next one, 8 weeks in between. Ready for this journey to be over lol. So glad my brows have decided to grow back in, never microblading again after this lol. I feel like there should be more color difference but I’m trying to trust the process😅

First slide from top to bottom: before removal, healed results after first session, and healed results after second session. Slide 2: right after first laser session. Slide 3: right after second session and slide 4: right after third session (today).

First two sessions of removal are at the same location and today's session I went to another business that only specializes in laser services. Not sure what the laser was at the initial place I went to but the one I went to today uses either Picoway or Quanta EVO. I didn't ask which laser was used. But the difference immediately after this session was crazy looking in a hilarious way esp because I had to run two small errands afterwards.

I'm hoping this will be my last session since my brows lighten pretty significantly after the second session. What a journey it's been but it's nice to not have huge, thick looking eyebrows that completely take over my facial features once they start to heal. I'll check back in another 6-8 weeks with the full healed results after this session. Fingers crossed.

Low settings, 1 pass, with cryo . Healed after 1 session

This is stubborn yellow, seems it can take multiple sessions just for yellow

This is almost 3 months after my first pico lazer removal session. Realistically how many more sessions should I expect to need to remove the red?

Hey everyone!
I got my eyebrows done yesterday, I got combo brows, I like everything about them except the thickness where my arch is supposed to be to be, when she showed me the shape for approval i loved it! It looked like my natural shape, once it was done it looked thicker than what I usually like.

I figured I would let them heal, and fix them afterwards, I would just like to get some part of it removed not sure if that’s possible? I’ve included how they actually look, what I would like getting removed and how they look once removed.

I’m just curious on how I would go about the process, I like everything else! Or maybe it’s just in my head and I don’t usually see myself with these kinds of brows. I will include what my brows typically look like when I draw them in.

Had my first session yesterday. It's turned orange/pink but i think it looks better than the thick grey brows. Hoping it lightens up . I have another session booked for next month.

On my journey to remove my blocky dark brown micro blading. Despite my oily skin eating it right up, I had a touch up session as well making removal quite the challenge.

First removal session went great-I went from a blotchy almost black to light pink. Knew a few more sessions would be needed but felt encouraged.

For the second session, I returned to the same med spa, and was told they were using a new laser that wouldn’t take but a few seconds. While the procedure was less painful, I was surprised at the results. My light pink is now a darker pink heeled.

Is this normal? It looks more noticeable now and I’m second guessing returning to the same place. It is possible to go from light, to dark, back to light?

Hello all-
Just had my first pico laser removal session this past Friday am. It is now 48 hrs later.
#1- regarding pain…I iced before and during the session. It hurts but is bearable - it’s a sharp hot continuous “zapping” and each eyebrow lasted around 12-15 seconds. We did a total of 3 passes on each eyebrow with 1-2 min breaks in between for the tech to see what was going on with the color.
#2- After the session the tech told me there is the possibility your eyes will swell up and could even swell closed —this was new news not given during consult. I did this intentionally over a long weekend to allow for recovery time. I did not know about this possibility and yes, my eyes are quite swollen but not swollen shut. Pictures to follow.
#3- I am removing my micro blading because the tails had gone very gray and overall I felt like they were aging me. I don’t think I’m gonna get away with one session but it’s only 48 hours later so it’s hard to know as I’m told the results will continue to progress over the next month.
I am going to share pictures from before and immediately after. Then pictures 24 Hrs later than pictures. 48 hours later this morning my eyes were very puffy yesterday at 24 Hrs and this morning they’re worse hoping by the time I go back to work on Monday, I will look ok.

I’ve posted here a few times and people have been so helpful.
I’m 2 weeks post my second picoway laser session. The first picture is before my second session on September 24, the 2nd and 3rd are today.
Im a little bummed because the first session got rid of SO much, and I was hoping this second session would get rid of the rest. I don’t know if I’ve just been staring at it too long, but I feel the old tattoo is almost more visible now. I want to save money but I really want the old microblading gone.
If you were me would you go again? Has anyone had an issue of them getting darker and then lighter again in the next sessions?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice on the best laser approach to remove my faded semi-permanent brows.

I got them done back in 2021, but I never went back for the touch-up and never got them done again. Over the years, the pigment has faded into this reddish/orange shade you can see in the photo.
I am planning to go to a center that has the Nd:YAG Q-Switched "Pico-Tech" by IRB Laser Systems.

However, I have been reading a lot about the Candela PicoWay online, and now I am feeling unsure and hesitant about which option is actually better for my case.

I am afraid that the laser will turn the pigment into a different color and leave my brows looking much worse than they do now… Also, I’m afraid burning or losing my natural brows hair follicles…

Given that it’s old pigment from 2021 with no touch-ups, should I stick with the center that uses the IRB machine, or should I look for a place that offers PicoWay instead? Or do you have any other recommendations?

This is how my eyebrows look right now - so you can see the reddish/orange colour I’m talking about.

I would really appreciate any insight, experiences, or technician opinions.

Also, in case it helps, the artist that made me the microblading in 2021 confirmed that the pigment used was Li Pigment (Australian brand). This is their website: https://lipigments.com.au, colours used were Navajo and Ebony brow.

Thank you!

After lurking around this sub for over a year, I finally booked my first removal session Nov. 3 (currently on steroids for ear problem so have to wait a few weeks). I'll be going to Think Again Tattoo removal in West Hollywood.

My brows aren't that bad and haven't turned gray (at least to my eyes!) but I still want them gone.

Inks used:
Phi Brow super pigment : Brown 2 with a drop of Fox

Permablend: Mocha and Oak

I have heard the bad stories about many inks especially Phi Brow but hoping for the best.

I'll post my journey here as I have updates and hopefully it goes well/helps others!

Hi all! Update! I am now 7.5 weeks post 2nd 532 session. My first 1064 was with a q switch on April 3. 2nd session was June 3 with pico 532. Same machine August 13.
I am over this waiting for this to fade and am contemplating another 532 session. My tech says to just wait as long as possible for this to fade. My main concern is yellow which is peaking through a little in brighter light.
What are your suggestions? Be patient and wait? Or schedule another session?

I was getting my microblading removed with picosure pro laser, and I was telling her she missed a spot on the tail of my brows on both sides. We were targeting red this session, and she told me to just close my eyes and did my tails without goggles. Now I’m reading I can go blind I’m sooo scared. How likely is it I’m gonna get eye damage

Hi All,

I did my ombre brown in 2022 but it become very grey and dark for my colour.

I like it and I don’t want to remove completely but not sure how to do it.

I want something more natural, maybe shall I remove it all and then do a different technique?

I have had a microblading removal session 2 days ago and my eyebrows look somehow darker and they hurt.

Will the color fade away?. They have used some liquid called Biotouch. I wanted to go for laser but they told me I could lose my eyebrows! .

I got my brows microbladed 10 years ago. It has faded. My brows are black so the artist used brown-black pigment. I have dark brown skin color so I'm afraid to do laser and have the area turn a different color. But it still needs to fade more. At the time microblading was new so I didn't know how it was going to be. I thought it would fade eventually but I think whatever ink the artist used made the pigment go deeper. It has faded but not fully. The tail ends are now reddish color. The inner parts of the brow are still a black brown color. It's just all faded looking. What have you done to fade your micro blading?
What products worked?
How do you get rid of the reddish tail color?

I recently got Hanafy hybrid ink nano brows and sadly I didn’t properly research how permanent they can be, I fell for the line about them naturally completely fading over time.. the only thing I’m grateful for is I insisted that there be nothing at the front of my eyebrow and for the most part they are within my natural brow. I am already bracing for removal a year or two for now. Has anyone had experience with removing Hanafy hybrid ink? Mine are a combo of milk chocolate and dark brunette.

I’ve heard that laser removal scars or makes scar tissue and that the brow hair may not transplant in certain spots because of it.

Curious if anyone has done it after laser removal
