Microblading/Ombre Powder Brows - NO Pigment After 10 Days

I got "combo" brows (microblading at the front of brow and ombre poweder shading throughout the rest) about 10 days ago. They looked amazing for 4 days, then started scabbing. The majority of the scabs have naturally fallen off in big chunks and now I'm left with literally zero pigment and what looks like pink, brow shaped scars. Is this normal? I know they say the pigment fades out around this time and magically reappears, but is it really realistic for color to reappear when there is no color at all showing now? My brows are pretty important to me, as they are super blonde and my hair is super dark, so I rely on them to make me look like a normal human being. Not to mention the $550 I spent to have this done... I have a touch up appointment in 5 weeks, but am questioning the validity of my stylist at this point.

How do they look now?

they look the same. still no pigment, just red. i text my technician and she said the pigment should "reappear" in 3-5 days...well, that was 7 days ago :|

Don't worry, if it doesn't resurface to the color you are expecting, you can discuss with your technician to use a darker pigment.
My only concern is your aftercare. It looks like you did a "dry healing" which no ointment is used. That may be why so much pigment came out. If you want to check my work, Instagram is @bodybrowbar

thanks for the advice! i checked out your IG, your work is so amazing! i wish there was someone in my area that did as well and has as much experience as you. yes, i was advised to do a dry heal, but once the scabbing got bad, i used coconut oil on them a few times, around days 5-10. my tech informed me that dry healing usually yielded the best results when it came to pigment retention :| do you think the red-ish tone is from the pigment? i assumed it was just because they were healing/scaring.

Not much has changed since my last update. I'm trying to figure out if the redish tone I'm seeing is from healing/scaring or if that's the color the pigment turned in my skin. I was told she was using medium brown (even though I requested dark), so I don't know how/why it would appear red. I text my technician photos and she told me the pigment should "reappear" in about 3-5 days...but that was 7 days ago and they still look the same. She did tell me I could start filling them in lately with powder, so I've been doing that so I don't have to go to work with red Satan eyebrows. Feeling pretty discouraged about this whole process right now!

I don't understand how the pigment magically reappears?? A majority of the ink has come off for mine and I am also worried. I'll keep an update on how mine do!! I have very oily skin so I am thinking that has contributed to my ink coming off.

I have oily skin to.
Ik think that when healing, New skin appears over the ink and that makes them Go away. When skin is healed its shines True the ink. I needed a second round. But now it looks waauw. Beter less and Go back than make someone pul the ink out when to mutch. If you Goedenacht back you can tell her what you Need her to do.... how you want it.

I was just wondering if you went in for your touch up and what the final result was?

I’m nervous now! I got microblading/ombré brows done five days ago! I’m at the peel off stage now! It doesn’t seem red but I barely see pigment under! Post an update! I’m curious to see how it ended up after touch up!

Hi I’m on Day 13 and I’m in the same boat. Did you get a touch up and how does it look? I got ombre shading and not Microblading, but I literally have red flushed skin and no pigment.

It’s been almost 7 myths since I got my ombré shading. I did have that time part where it looked like no pigment took hold. After the first couple of weeks it started to show. After the first touch up there was more pigment. I do have to mention I have really oily skin and I do feel like I already need a retouch but other than that I love the shape and color!

Hello! I’m very curious how your brows turned out? I have the EXACT same thing, and you are the first person I’ve come across that also had this happen. My one eye also is still tender/feels slightly sunburnt feeling after 3 weeks. I have slight swelling every once in a while when it gets irritated (no infection as per my doc) I’m worried that the brown has faded and all I am left with is pink scars.
I also have oily skin.
