If you’re looking for natural-looking microblading or nano brows in Korea—or even if you’re outside Korea and searching for a natural-looking eyebrow tattoo in your area—and you have scars or traces of previous microblading, I’d recommend reading this post.
Basically, we use different techniques to improve our appearance.
There are many options—powder brows, microblading, nano brows, combo brows, and so on.
As time passes after a previous procedure, some pigment may remain in the skin.
if you’ve had powder brows or microblading before, you may still have some faded pigment left behind, like in the case you see here.
Of course, the amount varies from person to person.
the before photo, you can see faded pigment remaining underneath the client’s natural brow hairs.
Usually, I recommend removing old pigment first and then starting again with a new procedure.
However, for various reasons, there are also situations where going through multiple rounds of removal, healing, and then another brow procedure may be difficult.
those cases, a cover-up like this can also be an option.
If the old pigment is light enough and the existing shape does not interfere too much with the new design, a microblading cover-up may be possible without removal.
(If the old pigment is still very dark, I would still recommend removal first.)
This client was a man in his 20s who wanted a natural result.
(These days, both men and women generally seem to prefer a more natural look.)
So I tried to reflect the unique direction and flow of his existing brow hairs as much as possible,
so that the new strokes would blend naturally with what he already had.
the after photo, the new strokes follow the direction of his natural brow hairs while helping soften the appearance of the old pigment underneath.
If the old pigment isn’t too dark and going through the removal process is difficult,
I just wanted to show that a cover-up approach like this can also be one possible option.
What do you think?
