I hate how my microblading turned out after the 2nd session. What can I do to make it fade quicker?

van1llaMay 23, 2019
I absolutely loved how my eyebrows healed after the first session - it turned out very natural and suited my face very well. After the second session, my artist went in a lot darker with the color and the strokes in front are a lot more dense, with the front of the brows too close together. It’s been almost 3 weeks since the second session. What are things I can do to make it fade faster? Specifically the fronts? I’ve read about Retinol and what can it do to help with making it fade?

This is certainly not typical after microblading. You should certainly be seen by a doctor. The fact that there is pain a swelling makes it an emergency. Infections around the eye are dangerous and could spread quickly.

The first few days after your treatment, they will look darker than the actual desired color. After 4-6 weeks you will notice more fading.

Most micropigmentation treatments use semi permanent pigments. You may want to determine with your provider which type of pigments they used on you. If semi permanent pigment was used, the pigment will completely fade over time, usually by 2-3 years depending on your sun exposure, products...
