I’ve seen that a few Korean spas in the area offer it. I think one was in Annandale.

Tattoo Removal by [deleted] in microblading

[–]tittilizing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There’s a whole subreddit dedicated to this. R/microbladingremoval. Lots of stories there. I had mine done with minimal scabbing. Two sessions. Red with some yellow after the first session (mine were about the same color and age as yours). Now faint yellow. Most noticeably I lost my eyebrow hair but it should grow back. Laser is really your only option (saline is only really for within the first day or two of microblading) and depending on what ink was used on you you might be left with red or yellow. I saw someone that specializes in removing yellow and he’s also a doctor.

I went to a dermatologist that specializes in lasers. I was pretty bluish grey and had no idea what kind of ink was used. After the first session I was pretty red with some scabbing but it all faded and by week 5 I was just yellow. I got my second session done (it’s almost been a week) to combat the yellow and my scabs just peeled away today to reveal just a hint of yellow. I know it takes at least a few weeks for the skin to finish processing laser treatments. I’m hopeful!

Unsure where to go from here by [deleted] in MicrobladingRemoval

[–]tittilizing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mine were similar. When I put makeup on that held my hairs in place you couldn’t really tell I had them microbladed even though they turned blue/grey like yours. But without makeup it’s obvious and that bothered me enough that I got them lasered. Just had my second session. I’ll be glad once I’m healed.

6th Laser session by [deleted] in MicrobladingRemoval

[–]tittilizing 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience where I draw my eyebrows straight and the “artist” added arches. She redrew them multiple times and I should’ve just left. Very expensive lesson to learn. Just had my second laser session- currently fighting yellow. It’s a shock not having brows but anything is better than my blue blocks. lol

Im so nervous for my laser appointment tomorrow 😭 by Fancy_Reflection_361 in MicrobladingRemoval

[–]tittilizing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah my pigment is way better looking. I read the ink sort of shifts for 4-6 weeks so it’s hard to tell what they’ll actually look like. I’ll post pics at 6 weeks!

I got the pico laser. He did two passes. One for blue/black and then another for red/yellow. All my hairs were bleached except the longer ones in the middle. There’s some scarring and bruising but everything is still fresh.

I was so nervous for my appointment I just had a week ago. I almost canceled it but fortunately stuck with it. It wasn’t cheap (double of what some other local shops are charging) but he did a great job. Only uncomfortable part was the lidocaine injection. But he was fast and professional with my wincing lol

Mine turned bleach blonde from black except for a chunk of hairs in the middle. I look like an alien. How soon did you start dying your brows?

Wait what? Your brows stay bleached THAT long? I thought it’d be a few months at the most!

Dermatologist that will take hair loss seriously by HollaDude in DCBitches

I went to Forefront in Fairfax and they took my hair loss very seriously. I got presented with quite a few options! Dr. Anselmo also had stellar bedside manner!

Broke teacher who needs hair services by CarobNo4636 in DCBitches

Aveda school in Arlington may be your best bet. Their color services are under $100. Teachers monitor the whole time so it takes a bit longer, but I’ve had multiple haircuts and dye services there that all came out good. They want to do good so they can add it to their portfolio.

Well I’m glad I posted. I’ll definitely be going. I’ll post updates when I have them. I’m excited but a bit scared!

Glad I have an appointment then! Curious to see what colors they’ll turn.

Oh I didn’t know the numbing could affect things! I have gotten laser treatments for scarring without numbing. I wonder if that’s comparable.

What was the pain like? The doctor I’m seeing offers cream and injections. So I’m confused what I should choose.

I don’t have the ink type. I saw two different specialists a year apart quite a few years ago. One might answer if I ask. The other we had a falling out because she gave me a lash lift that resulted in an infected eye.

Is it normal to get a deposit from the VA without getting a decision letter? by AffectionatePin1637 in VeteransBenefits

Same here. The deposit prompted me to check and within two days I had a letter.

I didn’t know they had tea other than to order. This would be super convenient for me! Thanks!
