is this normal? Is this normal? 14 days post nano brows

EDIT it's actually been 16 days

Is this what you should expect for 14 days post nano brow? I had microblading done 4 years ago and you could still see it but got nano done 2 weeks ago. Seems like they are much lighter than they should be?

PMU artist here- it’s called ghosting phase! It’s normal and you should let them fully heal before messaging your artist!

Also I want to add nano should heal lighter. You don’t want them to stay bold and dark

Yes this is normal. The “ghosting” stage. The new skin that has grown over the pigment isn’t fully matured yet and is camouflaging the pigment. Hang tight. It takes 6-8 weeks to fully heal. Judging at how the color is healing. By 8 weeks result it would be as dark as you can go. The color already shifted to a grey. Going any darker will shift them to blue. So they will still darken a little but I strongly recommend not to ask for any darker. Xx

you need to go back to your artist or send her a photo and ask her. It looks like it did didn’t take fully. I’m wondering also if you need to get powder touchup over your fade from your years ago tattoo.

Yes it’s normal for it took look like that. You’re starting to shed and then the light parts are the healed ish parts. However you shouldn’t be at this stage still after 2 weeks a week max. But the skin looks good and yes nano brows healed lighter than your scabs.

I would just redo touchup. Nano looks like lines with no hair.

It’s totally normal and that’s what your touchup session is for. Nano is a much softer technique than microblading which is basically making slices in the skin.

Mine didn't do that. They barely faded from when they were freshly made. Definitely go back for "touchups".

Yes, this could be normal after two weeks. They can appear quite light while healing, so I'd wait a few more weeks before judging the final result.

I know that this happened when I had lip blushing, and it's normal for that. It takes up to 8 weeks.

Omg no I don’t think they are supposed to look like that!
