r/microblading

I am now on day 9 since my first microblading appointment. I am so pleased with the results, however the dreaded healing process has began.

I’m a bit concerned about the peeling in this particular area, as it has completely peeled off and there is no pigment underneath? by the looks of it. This worries me as if the peeling continues through the whole brow, then the strokes my artist microbladed on are completely nonexistent.

The second and third picture show the skin that can be peeled back and as you can see, there is nothing visible underneath.

I’ve had my nano brows done yesterday this is 24h after. Will the shape shrink? I’m aware they are going to be dark for a couple days until flaking but will they shrink down? I don’t think I like the shape. I wasn’t expecting them to be so “ bushy “ especially that my natural eyebrows in picture two are quite sparse, airy and thinner. I’m trying to trust the process, but I’ve been panicking so much. I’m not sure if nano brows was the right decision for me!

I got my brows done exactly one month ago, nano. I asked for very natural, like I just filled them in with a pencil.

In image order: Now, right after, before.

Images are before, exactly after the session, and now. A touch up would be $300 with the artist I used. Is it worth $300 here? Do I need a touch up?

So these are my lips about 7 weeks post touch up

My first session healed super light so I asked for a slightly darker but still natural result

I’m happy with the centre colour of my lips but the borders/outline is pretty strong and looks like lipliner (looks worse- but these are sunlight pictures)

I’ve been told to just wait it out but I feel they’re unnatural and I’m super unhappy and i desperately want to lighten the outline (about 20-30%? Or one shade overall)

My artist (who is super good) offered saline free off charge and im wondering about any success stories and how the healing process is like

Id rather avoid laser

I have exams so I was planning on waiting till after my exams in about 2 months to do the saline (hoping that it will fade but I was told it wont much from this point)

Any help would be appreciated!

I had these done 8 days ago and am so impressed with the results, however I think I have started the dreaded ghosting process. I thought it would start a lot sooner than 8 days but guess everybody’s skin cycle is different.

I’m just a little concerned as although I know about the ghosting phase, where some of my skin has flaked off, it looks like it has fully taken all the pigment with it and there is nothing underneath. The strokes have fully gone, in the areas that have flaked.

Is this normal or have these areas not taken properly? I know this can be fixed in the top-up appointment but was hoping there would still be at least a bit of a stroke look still there, even if lighter.

Also, there has been very minimal peeling up until now and has mainly only been at the start and the tail of my brows. Should I expect it to get a lot worse than this, or has anybody had a similar healing process whereby this was the patchiest it got?

Think everybody new to microblading goes through this scare but I am just worried that I’ll be left with all of the very fine strokes she added completely not coming back, as I am quite self conscious about my natural eyebrows so don’t particularly want to go without anything on them at all.

I’m 2 weeks in and my brows still don’t look natural. They look like I traced them out with pencil. Based on what they look like now, do you guys think there’s more healing to be done? What should I ask for in my 4 week touch up to get a more natural look?

The first 2 pictures are just pictures I pulled off the internet of what I want my lips to look like once they are healed. The last 2 pictures are my actual lips.

All the places I’m looking up in my area usually only have non-colored women examples of their work and if they do have a brown person, it’s usually just 1 or 2 examples so not enough for me to trust them with my lips. They only show “immediately after” pics but I never see any months later pics. And the work they show usually looks really red or orange-ish. I don’t want that, I really want a soft pink look. Is that possible for my lips?

Do y’all have any artist/salon recommendations??

I got nanoblading with shading 8 days ago, and I genuinely love how it looks so far. But now I’m noticing some peeling, mostly on my right side. I tried not washing my brows for the first 5 days, and even now I still avoid getting them wet but of course, it’s impossible to keep all water off them. Now I’m worried it might stay like this.

I’m also a bit confused about the whole scabbing process. Will my eyebrows fall off in chunks? I was told that doesn’t usually happen with nanoblading, but now I’m starting to feel anxious.

Got lip blush done in January- had my first laser removal 2 days ago and see no difference at all. I know it can take weeks for the body to break down the pigment but I’m needing some encouragement.

The clinic uses UNDO PMU - where I live is quite rural so hard to find clinics - it’s £90 per removal session which is fine but I don’t know if I should continue?

i recently moved across the country and reached out to a salon in my new city to inquire about touch ups and they suggested removal first. they said in a follow up email that it would be about 3-8 removal sessions and it made me a tad bit skeptical. does this make sense to yall?

I just had my eyebrows done for the first time (hairstrokes). I'm not sure what to think about it. Kind of freaking out. I was not sure if i should do a powderbrows or the hairstrokes. Because i don't have much natural brows left, this was the best option.

I have only half my original brows left. I know i have to get used to it, but it seems like they are not as symmetrical as i would like. One seems a bit rounder. Maybe it will look a bit different in a few days, when it's healed a bit.

I have a next session planned and i think i want to get it filled out more.

What to you think? Badly done or just brow shock?

hi, i was wondering if i could ask for some advice on my brows, and whether microblading or ombre brows could be an option.

they are very uneven, my face is uneven in general. the hairs are very sparse but grow over a very wide distance on my face (like down to my eyelid). ive had them threaded a few times and the threader always seems to make the difference between them even more prominent. then ive tried plucking them myself but i just cant make it work. i fill them in with pencil when i leave the house but it is so frustrating and takes ages, and im never happy with the result.

so i have considered permanent makeup, if it went right it would make my life a lot easier. however, i have dehydrated skin and my forehead is particularly oily. i have a lot of hyperpigmentation and may wish to use retinoids again for treatment. and obviously have dark skin. but i have also seen a lot of horror stories and would lose my mind if i hated them and had to get them removed.

i also dont understand what happens to the actual hair? like do people just continuously pluck anything outside of the microbladed brow?

anyway i would appreciate some advice on whether it could be an option for me or if it's a terrible idea, thank you.

I’m tryna grow my eyebrows much fuller and darker and I’ve been using rapid brow with castor oil day and night. I’m scared to try minoxidil cuz it might mess up hormones or something (what I’ve heard) as I’m 16 but might reconsider. Please send tips. (It looks more full up close but in pics from afar and stuff it looks almost invisible). Also should I try derma stamping as well
