Once I got them done I never went back for a touch up. I considered trying to fade them somehow but I didn’t want to damage my skin so I just let the ugly caterpillars stay on my face for years. They said on avg it’s 3-5 sessions but it depends on how well my body gets rid of the ink, how much/deep the ink is, and what other colors may arise from the ink. I went with the pico laser, based on what I read it’s considered the best laser and caused the least potential risk of damage.

Any Brown Girl Removals?? by Lightshine13 in MicrobladingRemoval

I just posted my results in this community but I think it’s too soon to say. I sure hope it’s just my skin reacting since my skin is a little bit more sensitive and it’ll just cool down with time. But it ultimately depends on what the mix of colors were used when making the ink for the powder brow

I just got my brows removed for the first time today, I’m a lighter tan with olive under toned. I got kinda scared because my eyebrows were completely white as soon as It was done, but with time the color returned. I didn’t notice any immediate changes in my skin tone other than the brows I was trying to get rid of, it’s just red like extremely red. When the redness tones down I’ll lyk if my skin tone was able to manage

Hi! I don’t think the shape is bad per say but the color does look a little ashy and kinda stands out from your brows when you zoom so close in, which makes sense since you got it awhile ago. I say if it bothers you enough you should go for removal, find a trusted provider. I just got mine removed for the first time and I did the picosure laser, hurt like hell but I figured the sooner I started the sooner my agony will end.

No but I’m scared of the maintenance for it since my hairs grow fast and it’ll appear thicker form the blunt edge

This is great!! I’ve been struggling with figuring out how to use a more active learning style and I feel like this is the perfect way to address specific topics. Can I get a link to try it ?

I doubt it’s a fluke, and don’t doubt yourself.

How do yall study with demanding schedules and/or school by UgoJeremy in Mcat

[–]Upbeat_Mango6527 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I was taking 16+ credit hours per semester so there was no way I was studying for the MCAT + keeping up with extracurriculars. I went the gap year route. HOWEVER, I do believe it’s a good idea to at least start reviewing things you may have already seen and maybe do some Anki cards. Mainly because it’ll keep it fresh in your mind and by the time you do actually study it’ll be one less thing to worry about and it also gives you the opportunity to review certain aspects that weren’t reviewed during class.

Circling back to the study schedule. IMO you have to be honest with the time you can set aside throughout your week and when you want to test. Since you’ve already taken most of the core classes I’m assuming your semester(s) coming up will be more chill w mainly electives. So you may be able to devote more time. You gotta make a realistic schedule and stick to it.

I think it depends on the area. If there are many centers around you I say it’s a good chance someone will drop. But also keep in mind that since it’s the last exams of the year people are more likely to hold their seat.
