To put it simply. I should of never touched them. Having a slight sparse eyebrows here and there, or asymmetrical drawn on eyebrows are nothing compared to permanent ones with out the versatility of being messed up one day and then perfect the next. My husband said it best, sometimes the lil imperfections are better than the "corrected im-perfection". Thankful to have found a lady named Carol packman that does removal of eyebrows without he laser! It's a process but I just can't deal. Natural is better. The pictures look good but in person it's just too risky. Afterwards I felt so sad. A real emotional rollercoaster like wtf did I do.. Not worth it!

Thank you for the information. I am seeing some improvement in my eyebrows 3weeks post PMU. However one side is a bit thicker. I am hoping to do removal with Elinink and just remove what is necessary.

So sorry you had a bad experience !! Since the work is so fresh, maybe laser removal could lighten it up significantly ! All the best to you, love

I have appointment 2 try removal. I updated pics. No tweezing in three weeks. I trying to see what hair grows in and how much I need to get removed vs removing it completely. Maybe testing it in s small area first.

Hi There, Personally, I would try a small spot first, preferably the tail of the eyebrow. Better go slow. You will know how your skin reacts and how it looks right after and few days after. You will also be able to evaluate how many days it will take for your skin to recover before you feed comfortable enough to go out in public, go to work, etc. This is a big concern for me... My job requires me to meet with a lot of clients so I have to deal with a lot of eye contact situations. What removal product is this lady using? There are a few products advertising that they can remove tattoos, like TatooVanish. A member on this site used a method involving electrolysis which might keep the eyebrow hair from growing back. Will you be posting day-to-day pictures of your experience? That would be great. Nowhere can you find pictures of the progression from immediately after the treatment, and next few days after. As I mentioned, a big concern is the recovery period. How much time before it looks good enough to be out in public. I really wish you the best of luck!

Hey. I went for partial removal . She used a saline removal. It actually doesn't look much different immediately after. My lady has 7 years expierence with eyebrow and lip PMU removal. I am aware it is a process. I feel comfortable going to do my daily functions. She said Other products weren't suppose to be used on face and the saline has the best results she has seen. I am hopeful. Will post after pics . Very lil pain

Was Carol the lady who did your first removal? I've been talking to her after my own microblading issue and she has been so sweet on email. I am considering even travelling from Sydney for treatments with her to fix my brows!

After saline PMU removal
goddessbbJanuary 2, 2016
I decided to do a partial removal. My removal lady said that I needed to be patient with removal. Here are photo right after. Doesn't look much different . Waiting for scab to come in and fall off! I pray I need 3 sessions or less to be completed . I just wanted her to remove the excess she put on the tails it was too high on one side.

I over plucked my eyebrows & I ended up with no eyebrows. I had permanent makeup & was an expensive disaster! My brows look very funny & unnatural. It has effected my life negatively. I never feel self confident. People do stare at my brows; or I feel they do!
Anyways depending on where you are Canada is cheap now (exchange rate) so possibly worth a trip. But I will keep posting. I too feel it to keep others from this.
