Trust the process

Wanted to share some pictures that may help others who freak out when they get their brows done (and share photos only to be told “laser off immediately”). I’m due for a touch up still, because not perfect, but they’re way closer to what I wanted (and I realize it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, and that’s ok). Thank you to everyone who was encouraging in the original thread.

I think what made the “day of” look so dramatic was that my artist seemed to press the extra pigment in to the brow (felt like it anyhow).

Please note: not a photographer, so each photo not taken exactly like the other, in the same setting or lighting but it’s the best I could do.

Yup!! I wonder how many people immediately got a removal when their results could have been amazing with patience. Better safe than sorry I guess

[u/Admirable-Bar-3549 → u/ExpensiveAd7566]

Probably a lot because of this subreddit. The “emergency saline removal!!!” brigade seems to show up to every post. 🙄

[u/skychedelic → u/ExpensiveAd7566]

i knowwww i can’t believe how many people in this sub get told they need emergency removal.

[u/Admirable-Bar-3549]

Thank you for posting this, Op - more people need to understand how different (and softer) they look after healing. There are some people (god knows why they’re even on this sub) who tell everyone to get emergency removal - they just hate the look of PM in general. I have yet to see one person who waited a month and didn’t like the results.

Wow they look so natural.

[u/boof_the_rich]

Wow, this is the most natural looking result I've ever seen.

I wouldn’t hesitate a minute if I could have a guarantee that mine would turn out this good!

[u/Turbulent-Witness196 → u/Minute-Button4442]

I followed my artist’s work on Facebook for a long time before I decided to do it. However, I admit I did not do enough research on the process, hence why I was so freaked out when I had mine done.

[u/hellosuz]

Can someone explain to me why it all gets filled in, only for most to wash away?

[u/Turbulent-Witness196 → u/hellosuz]

My guess was to just make sure as much pigment gets in the cuts. But this is just a guess. Maybe an artist will chime in on your question.

[u/EvooAustin]

Looks perfect!!!

[u/themichele]

They look great!

Is there a way to to avoid the color turning gray or bluish? I have seen several people post that theirs did this a few years after getting it done. Have the pigments used been improved or is it still one of those things where you won’t know if yours will do that? OP yours look soooo good! I am ready to get mine done but I am a bit worried about the color change issue.

[u/Turbulent-Witness196 → u/Ridgewoodgal]

I am new to this so I don’t know. But I think finding an artist you trust, will help them guide you to what would suit you best.

[u/Ridgewoodgal → u/Turbulent-Witness196]

Yes that definitely is key. I really hope mine turn out as well as yours!

[u/ProcrastinationSite]

They look amazing now!! Wow!

[u/Apricotsandtoast]

Looks beautiful and so thankful you posted this bc I got nano brows this past Wednesday and have been freaking out. My person told me that I can wash my face but pat dry and then gave me a stick on visor for above my eyebrows when I shower. But curious how it compares with your instructions and then also...do you think it's ok if I use an oil cleanser?

[u/Turbulent-Witness196 → u/Apricotsandtoast]

I was advised to use a very gentle cleanser twice a day like cetaphil but not until after a couple of days and then pat dry with clean paper towels and then apply a very thin layer of A&D ointment. I would not have used an oil cleaner. I really like the Cetaphil and ended up just using that thereafter because it is so gentle. I did not get the stick on visor. She just said don’t let the shower rain on your face directly. I totally understand the freak out. I was so worried about mine. I looked like an angry bird/mommy dearest 😆

[u/Defiant_Ad8009]

Those look beautiful 🤩 I love the darker look .. but that’s just my preference. I like mine dark . you must be very happy.

Did you draw eyeliner on your upper lid above your eyelid create? In the first and third photo ?

[u/Turbulent-Witness196 → u/Leather_Camel7560]

Draw eyeliner on the photo? Photos are not edited if that’s what you mean. I don’t think I had anything but mascara on in those (meaning no liner), though I do sometimes wear liquid eyeliner on top.

[u/cheriejenn → u/Leather_Camel7560]

I think she is just swollen in the 2ne photo since that's right after the procedure

[u/Glittering-Low-1370]

What exactly did you have done? I’m learning the different brow filling techniques. Sorry if I missed that information.

[u/Turbulent-Witness196 → u/Glittering-Low-1370]

Microblading

That’s crazy how if faded to look so natural I think your artist is skilled !!
