Can I take anything before the touch up procedure for pain when microblading?

charchar1212May 30, 2017
It's been a little over two weeks since I got my brows microbladed.When I say it hurt, it REALLY hurt.My skin didn't react to the numbing cream. Even my esthetician said "usually the numbing cream turns white and you have know it's working,yours never did.You also have bled way more than anyone I've seen."it was pretty miserable.Is there anything I can take before my touch up appointment in a couple of weeks for the pain?I know they say not to take advil but the numbing cream did nothing for me!

Thank you for your question. Retinol can help fade the appearance of the tattoo, you should also ask your physician about tattoo removal if all else fails.

Touch and go at 60 mg, if at 20 daily all good. 2 issues, scarring from the process - easy fix if you notice lumps or bumps, secondly hair loss due to isotret. My suggestion is wait, pray and see... what is done is done. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim. Laser dermatologist Brisbane.

I am so sorry to hear about your experience. There are ways of lightening and correcting the brows. A consultation would be the best way to determine how your brows can be corrected.
