had my brows Microbladed 11 days ago, took a shower and wiped my brows with a washcloth. Did I remove all the pigment?

I had my brows microbladed 11 days ago. I took a shower last night and was so tired I mistakenly wiped my brows with a washcloth! I could see all dark threads on the wash cloth now my brows look thinner. Did I ruin it???

The pigment may have lifted completely from the epidermis, the red patches should subside once the skin is healed. Keep out of prolonged sun exposure so that the skins natural pigment does not darken while in its healing stages.

Hi hottie998,Your brows will definitely lighten and the true color will show in a week or so. Try to keep your brows dry and don't forcefully remove the scabs to prevent scarring. After 6 weeks, you can come back for retouching. A lot of times, you will lose pigment so resist having anything ...

Hi lucy29,Please allow your skin to heal - usually, it is healed 6 weeks post microblading. However, in your case it might take longer. Typically, it will lighten and decrease in size. However, if that is not satisfactory, there are other ways to lighten your brows. All the best, Justin Harper, M.D.
