Will this red outline on brows go away and usually how long does it take? (Photo)

Question

I had microblade brows yesterday. Too dark, too large for my face. She lined my brows with a dark brown color. Is this normal (blood) healing and will it go away? Usually how long does it take?

Hello and thank you for your question and photo. I am not sure what the red outline is. Did you discuss colors and want red tones in the brow?Normally you will not see any outline, just hair like strokes. The skin may be red initially after application but subsides quickly. They will lighten as they heal. Give it some time to heal, then I would follow up with your provider to discuss any concerns at that time.Best to you,

Hi tazz1455,I'm so sorry you had that experience and I fully understand why you can't wait for results. In general, microblading is dark at the onset and it does lighten up. The color is often matched to your hair color or complementary to your skin tone. As it is just a day after, you need to wait until it heals and scabs. Wound is fresh and you are likely to infect it and risk scarring if you mess with it too soon.Go for a treatment follow up - with the same or a different provider.All the best, Justin Harper, M.D.
