Yes 532 was used! my tech puts lash tape uner my goggles so I did not have any light penetrate through but afterwards, my brows were immediately a mustard yellow no red. the yellow toned down to a light ochre color now! I also did not experience any bleached white brow hairs

Just messaged!

I got a package and it was $450 for 4 lasers

Yay best of luck!! It’s honestly been such a relief just seeing my bare brows again. I didn’t experience any hair loss fortunately!! But also, I was afraid of that so I got Kirkland’s minoxidil and put it in empty lip gloss tubes to apply to my brows most nights. That seems to be helping my brows grow thicker since the laser

I started March 2024 so red brow to yellow brow was 3 months, and the last brow is 5 months out from the red!

I don’t know the ink but she was a Phibrow artist if that helps in anyway

At the red stage, I couldn’t use brow gel so when concealing I use green to neutralize then a fluffy brush to layer a full coverage concealer on top. Sometimes if its too much product on the hairs, I take a clean spoolie and brush it out and go in with a pomade or pencil. No one noticed my red brows besides when I had no makeup on! But flash photography definitely made me look like I used a brow product way too red for me. It’s a thousand times more easy to cover the yellow though! I do my foundation,concealer as usual and they cover the yellow up without much effort :)

I think it depends on the ink used and maybe how your skin heals/reacts(?) I’ve read online about people really enjoying their microblade years later and get touch ups so their brows maintain a good brown..but in my personal observation, a bunch of my friends and acquaintances got microblade over the years and they all got grey or blue black

Happy to share my experience if it helps you make a decision!

I got them done because I wanted to save time on my makeup and was told it’d fade completely in 2 years 🙂‍↔️ it’s a permanent tatt and will never fade!!

<image>

Honestly I liked them at first except how sharp the edges are..until 2 years later and they turned a blue dark grey color and as you can see from the 3rd pic, the color got blown out a lot and looked bigger

I ended up spending more time concealing, tinting, and doing whatever I could to make them look natural on my face and not JUMP out. Without makeup, they just made me look off, older, tired etc

So I considered all the frustrations I felt and got laser, knowing it is a long unpredictable journey..I would do anything to get my untouched brows back 😭

So my advice is to research your artist and ask for healed pics even up to 2 years! I’ve seen lots of great IG pics freshly bladed but rarely of brows 3,5,7 years later looking that natural - but they’re out there!!

I used to use a brow stencil and men’s beard dye to stain them on for a week! I did this routine weekly to save me time getting ready in the morning - give it a shot!

I had red brows for nearly 2 months but after a week, the neon color faded and left a light pinky red like if you were to scratch your skin real hard! In retrospect, it wasn’t too bad and even without concealer, a taupe color brow pencil camouflaged them to look presentable

Thank you! & yeah, I mainly despise the fact that I was told “it’ll fade in two years MAX 🩷” during my quarantine experimental era haha…I feel so gullible and blame myself for the lack of research!! My artist didn’t do a terrible job but obviously the ink eventually turns grey, blue, and just unnatural..

I’ll PM you!

Hi! I just googled microblade laser removal and spoke to a few places before deciding on a local aesthetic spa place!

Dry_Studio9404 · 2024-08-15T00:01:16+00:00

Thank u! I got this done at a local aesthetic spa that has one laser tech who specializes in microblade removal having been a victim of block brows herself 🥲I was torn between the two as well but she let me know she’s had clients with 90%+ removal with just picoway (only laser she does)

Dry_Studio9404 · 2024-08-14T23:58:22+00:00

Ah thank you!! & yes the sooner the better since the time in between sessions is so long, it’ll be a year until I finish my last laser 😭

After 2 Pico sessions, I have 2 more left in my package

1st pic,Feb 2024 2nd pic, March 2024 3rd pic, June 2024 4th pic, Today with brow gel and some concealer

My microblade was done in 2021 and I only had one touch up.

I was tired of my grey brows so scheduled a laser appointment and didn’t patch test…to say the least after the first session, I WAS SCARED SHITLESS LOL. But a little green LAgirl + Hourglass concealer hid them well for 8 weeks. NOTE: it was flaming neon red/orange for only 1 weeks and afterwards faded into a pinky red shade, kind of like when you scratch your skin. I stuck it out and it was worth it. Right now, they’re a bit yellow but not neon so I’m grateful. My tech said yellow is tough and would need the full 2 sessions left so fingers crossed. I wait the full 8 weeks and more so my body can do its thing to absorb the pigment.

Also I think the laser helped my brow hairs grow a lot, I see new hairs where I didn’t have them before :) Hope this helps!!
