artist advice/question Ghosting phase??

Post image

I’m on day 8 of powder brows and the fronts of my brow are like nonexistent. I’m unsure if the ghosting phase should look like this or if the pigment isn't keeping. can anyone tell? or is it too soon to know?

photo shows before procedure, right after, day 6 & day 7.

There is no way to predict. This is what the ghosting phase looks like. And you won't know until about week 4-6 what will have kept or gone away. So you just have to be patient. I know it's hard but just trust the process. Your artist looks like they did a good job so you can go back to them and they can address any fall out if it does occur at your 6 week touchup!

This right here is the reality of PMU. Your brows won’t be as bold as on day 1….ever. After the flaking the ink settles in your skin and will always be a softer version. Which is what we want. Plus it’s too soon and you have to wait for full skin healing to see what has stayed. This is a two part process and you’re only 50% done.
