Does Micro/nanoblading just not work on some skin?
I got my eyebrows microbladed about a year ago, absolutely loved what they looked like just after, but within 10 days they had faded hugely and the strokes had blurred and mainly disappeared. This wasn't just the ghosting stage, they never came back. My technican said that can happen and that's what the top up is for, but unfortunately the same thing happened after the top up. I got in touch and she offered me a 2nd top up for free, but again the same thing. I didn't lose the colour completely and they didn't look bad but within 2 weeks all the definition was gone and they definitely didn't look like the healed photos I've seen here or on her website.
Fast forward a year and I saw she was now offering nanoblading so I got in touch so see if that might be a better option for me as my brows had faded almost completely. She agreed it would be as the microblading made me bleed quite a lot which can affect how the ink takes, and nanoblading is better for sensitive and oily skin. I wouldn't say my skin is super oily, but it's more on the oily side than dry. I had my eyebrows nanobladed 10 days ago, and unfortunately exactly the same thing has happened, huge fading, the strokes have pretty much completely disappeared or blurred out, and I'm just left with undefined colour behind my brows. Again, it doesn't look bad, it just doesn't look like I've just had them nanobladed, there are none of the natural hair like strokes I've seen in photos.
She said I might need a top up due to the change in technique, but I'm wondering if it's even worth it if the same thing is going to happen again? Im not sure I want to go through the time and inconvenience of healing if the results are only going to last a week again.
Is it possible this just won't work on my skin? I followed all the aftercare instructions to the letter so I'm starting to think it's just not for me.
