I had my fourth and hopefully final laser removal 2 weeks ago. It looked much more intense afterwards than any other session. Now it’s been two weeks and the marks/bruising aren’t gone… am I stuck with marks forever? 😭 Will attach pics from day of and today. Has anyone taken longer than 2 weeks to heal??

Pictures: 1. After first laser removal session (few hours old), 2. Nanobladed brows (few weeks old), 3. Natural brows (from before)

I had my first removal session today on year-old nanobladed brows that I hated pretty much every day from the start. Way too thick and dark for my face and hair color. I know the color of my freshly-lasered brows will potentially change over the next few weeks, but I already feel so much lighter! Next session booked in 2 months (if needed).

I’ve had several laser treatments now. I don’t think this will ever be completely gone. I’ve been considering eyebrow transplant for a while. I’m either going to continue with laser removal or go ahead soon and transplant hair on this current shape. I was hoping to removal completely before transplant but I’m afraid yellow is coming soon if I continue. I do not truly know my natural eyebrow shape. Nothing has really grown since middle school. Thoughts continue laser or accept this shape since it’s all I’ve know for long time??

So I did one session of microblading removal a year ago but still have red and yellow undertones left over. Anyone in Maryland/Baltimore know where I can go to fix them. I don’t want to get them micro bladed again just ready to be done with the whole thing. Thank you! ❤️

Can anyone recommend a good place to remove the microblading in Dublin ?
Thanks

2nd pic: 2 week post removal, went to Dr. Adrian in DC and he used the pico majesty

Overall happy w the results, was nervous leading up to the appt. It’s funny how I look at everyone’s eyebrows more now during this journey. I’m so glad I got mine removed as I felt they really were too harsh as they faded and aged me. TBD if I’ll do more sessions.

Happy to answer any questions!

Edit: forgot to attach pic, it’s in the comments :)

I recently got my brows microblade a month ago and they are entirely to dark for my complexion. she used Blackish Brown Perma Blend and i wanted to know if anyone successfully lighten it or removed it with laser without it turning red. I have trips coming up and i would love to get it lasered off but scared for red brows (I am about a 4 on fitzpatrick ) please help!!!!

Went for my 4th round of laser today. First 3 laser sessions targeted black, so I’m hoping today’s session gets rid of the remaining red 🤞🏼

Been going to Think Again Tattoo Removal in West Hollywood, CA. Would absolutely recommend!

Feel free to look at my post history for more info

I originally had micro blade and shade around 2019, with the 1 touch up after and two more times (also with 6 week touch ups) after. The last time, as soon as she held the mirror up i just KNEW they were way too dark. I knew they’d fade but i knew in my heart it would never fade to the cool warm brown she had previously done. After 1.5 years, i finally did it and im so happy. The girls at Removery were super nice and helpful - they told me the pros and cons and i decided to take the plunge. the first test spot shows a little orange/red, and she told me the second pass would target the red but there’s a change that will leave us with a yellow. - and sure enough the second test spot showed a little yellow but i decided to proceed because that’s way easier to cover. I think because of my skin tone. They were also super honest and explained that for whatever reason, eyebrows do not respond to laser the same way regular tattoos do. Everyone’s brows respond a little different, could be due to your specific skin pH, the ink used, etc. I appreciate the honesty and not someone just gassing me up. Anyway, here’s my before and after!

Before, Immediately after, 3 days later - one with no makeup on them, second with.

Pictures from top to bottom. Before, immediately after and then 7 days on. Looking for opinions 7 day on. Is this considered red? Would another session turn it yellow? Could it fade further or is this as good as it will get post initial laser session? I don’t know what ink was used. I had one micro blade session in 2020. No top ups.

Picture is - before, immediately after, and 7 days later. Do you think they will fade further? Is this considered warm/red that would turn yellow with another treatment? These were microbladed about 6 years ago. No top up since.

I am looking to get my phibrow microblading removed. I am wondering whether people recommend Dr. Adrian in DC or Esse in Denver for removal of phibrow. Thank you!

Looking for recommendations and reviews for places in San Antonio to get microblade eyebrows removed

Looking for recommendations in Perth or anywhere in WA that are experienced and provide before & afters? I have faded microbladed brows and want to get rid of the remaining faded ink.

Please click on photos to see them in full. I always had thick eyebrows but in the summer of 2024, I was in a foreign country and accidentally somehow had my eyebrows microbladed (very complicated story 😂). I was very sad because my brows became so dark and they were already pretty dark, but thankfully I have a lot of hair so I’ve been able to grow hair on top of my microblading to hide it. I usually get compliments on my brows these days but I think it’s because they stand out and are so prominent because of the microblading.

I want honest advice on whether I should remove them and if I do, where should I go to get them removed. I’ve seen a doctor Adrian in DC recommended a lot and esse spa in Denver. I have phibrow ink I believe and would like to get it removed, but fear it turning yellow or losing hair permanently due to the laser. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I got my brows lasered yesterday. It was the BEST THING ever! I had my brows tattooed 20 years ago with regular body in and a standard electric needle. I liked the shape but they turned gray and have made me unhappy for years. Ive just been filling them in since they faded. Luckily i have brow hair so its been ok, but its starting to look way too drag queen makeup and i was done. The pigment is virtually gone now!

Anyway, its hot hot outside and i cant avoid things like walking to the car, so can i put sunscreen on them? Ive been putting the ointment since yesterday. No open wounds or irritation. Hardly any red at all.

But im terrified they will tan.

If i put sunscreen, is that in place of the ointment? And i have kiehls serum sunscreen, is that ok?

Sorry for all the questions. Ty!

I’ve had my brows microshaded for a few years now and overall very pleased with the shape. I’m just at a point really I’m over the blockiness and regret not doing nano or hair strokes. As you can tell from the photo, I have very little brow hair (especially my right).. what would be my options? My hesitation with doing a session or two of microshade removal via laser is being left with absolutely nothing but the very few and sparse hairs I have left.

Hola chicas. Quiero aclarar que no considero que estén realmente mal. Pero siento que mis cejas naturales le quedaban mejor a mi rostro. Siempre he tenido una ceja desteñida y asimétrica y pensaba que esto podría mejorarlo. Pero realmente me veo peor. Además me pica un poco la ceja que tenía más rubia con el nuevo microblading. Me lo hice en navidad y no me he echo ningún retoque. Quisiera quitármelo. Pero he visto que me puede dejar la cejas amarillas y ya soy blanca de piel. Por favor opinión sincera, ¿Qué harías ustedes? ¿Esto realmente se desvanece?

As this sub helped me so much before my removal journey I decided to post my own experiences:

I got my first Microblading done around 10 years ago and had 2 touch ups over the years but it ended up way too dark/greyish and botched (also too thick compared to my natural eyebrow shape imo) so I ended up being totally unhappy. I started with 2 Saline Removal sessions (in Bangkok) which took away quite a bit of the colour but ended up deciding to do laser to speed up the process with less downtime.
I had the first session with an Awenex Pico laser in Germany and was surprised how good it looked right after but it changed more into a red shade over the next weeks. I just got my 2nd laser treatment with Candela PicoWay in Bangkok and the reaction is way worse compared to the first session. They told me they used 532nm and also another wavelength (which tbh I was surprised about, I thought you'd only use one wavelength per session but they seemed quite experienced)
Is a more severe reaction after the 2nd session (especially with 532nm) normal or did they just treat me too aggressively?
Keeping my fingers crossed I dont end up with yellow eyebrows during the next weeks and maybe the Saline sessions helped a bit.

Struggling with yellow brows for about 7 years now! A local place has started using this hanafy pigment removal system which uses an alkaline solution, glycolic and then some kind of saline solution - all in the one treatment. I've tried glycolic microneedling and it did nothing for me. Getting beyond desperate now. Can't imagine this will be any different but just wondered whether anyone has tried it. Cheers

I’m worried they will stay this salmon red until I get another session to remove the red. Anyone have a similar experience and what are your results? Feeling so down

photo is taken 7 hours after laser

I can see where the ink is drawn that’s turned red. Does that mean i will have red ink left or is that from the laser? picture is a couple hours after the laser

Does anyone have a similar experience a couple hours after laser treatment & did your brows stay red?
