Brows turned blue after microblading. Is this normal? (Photo)

Question

Hi, I had microblading done 7 days ago. The color desired was dark brown. At the day of the procedure my brows were beautiful. However, now they are almost gone and what is still there is a dark blue color. I asked the person who did the microblading and she said not to worry and that changes on the color would occur and finally would turn back to the dark brown color. I'm panicking now and really trying to figure out whether this is normal or not? Please advice.

Hello and thank you for your question and photos.You do want to give the brows time to heal. You will go through different stages. The pigments can fade up to 40% from initial application. At your touch up visit, which is usually at 4-6 weeks all corrections will be made at this visit. All corrections such as, color, shape, thickness can be adjusted and corrected.Hope this helps,

DO NOT PANIC!  Color changes are a totally normal part of the healing process.  The pigment is "settling" down into the dermis and your immune system is trying to figure out if this is some foreign invader it needs to attack or if should just leave the pigment alone.  Your white blood cells are just doing their job.  Sometimes it looks like the pigment is disappearing altogether.  Once it is healed you will see the final result--so in about a month if it is still blue, then you can panic.  JK.  No, not really, if the color is not what you want you can have a touch up treatment to cover and blend the color.
BTW-the shape is very nice.  Best Regards,
Dr. Amy
