If I get microneedling, including over my eyebrows, will it lift the pigment from my microblading?

Microneedling and microblading combination results.

Nima Shemirani, MD · Answer

Hi @NNG11. I would avoid microneedling in tattooed areas and microbladed eyebrows. Microneedling will affect the pigment. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

Rebecca Fitzgerald, MD · Answer

Microblading pigment placement is fairly superficial and is easily lifted. Any treatment that causes the skin to peel or slough off will lift that pigment, and not necessarily evenly.Skip any treatment in the area of your eyebrows to maintain the pigment. Know that placed pigment will fade on it's own simply because of natural skin cell turnover.So whether you have microneedling, microdermabrasion, chemical peels or other non light based procedures, you will very likely see some loss of that pigment over time.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Microneedling should not be done over any tattooed or microbladed eyeborws as it will effect the pigment. I suggest having a formal consultation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.

Deepa Verma, MD · Answer

Tattooed areas and microbladed eyebrows should not have microneedling done in those areas. 
Microneedling will affect the dispersion of the pigment and create an uneven look.

Shaun Patel, MD · Answer

I would avoid treating tattoo or microblading sites with the microneedling device. Microneedling may alter the tattoo or microblading.
