Hi all, it's been a while since I posted an update. Here are my brows post removal as of 6/12/18. Let me know if you have questions. As you can see, the pigment is fading, my skin still looks a little red where the removal was done, but makeup nicely covers it up.

Hi, I live in the area and just had my brows done 11 days ago. One arch is higher than the other, and I'm freaking out a bit. Are you happy with your result so far? Would you recommend phiRemoval with Mylene at Delicate Touch Aesthetics?
June 18, 2018
Yes, absolutely!!! I'm so glad she's in the area. I looked into removal extensively and most people known for their work removing permanent make up were really far away. Mylene is meticulous and careful with her removal technique. She also doesn't set unrealistic expectations. But going to her helped restore my confidence.

Thank you!
June 20, 2018
I'm so happy you made an update! It takes a long time to redness to fade I guess. I'm in the same situation as you, removed fronts of my brows 5 months ago. Still red here too.
July 13, 2018
Omg there’s redness even after 5 months? The entire brow??
July 13, 2018
Definitely. Not the entire brow for me, just the fronts, luckily. But I hope that If someone considers the entire brow - will take this into notice.
July 13, 2018
But I had Swiss color X not Phiremoval. But I guess these methods will leave a red mark for some months. I have talked about 5 people on Swiss color method and the have had also the redness at 5 months and longer.
August 13, 2018
SO I had phi removal and it is still rly red after 2 months. i got the entire brows removed, so it is a large area. Did you use any cream or gel or anything?
August 14, 2018
Yes I used the Color X - scargel but it was worthless. For me, what really worked wonders was Kelocote scargel.
August 15, 2018
How long did u have to use it before redness went away?
August 15, 2018
I started using Kelocote at month 4 (because they never said to me Kelocote is actually better than what they gave to me, admitted afterwards). I've been using it soon 3 months now. My situation is now way better. Kelocote has silicone, so I think that has worked wonders even now.

Everytime you make a cut on your skin, there will be a some kind of scar. Scars can take up to a year to fully mature (this they told me looong afterwards I did this procedure because and they marketed the healing time between 6-12 weeks). Thought it sucks for me, Kelocote has speed things up definitely (thank god I started using it). I bet Phiremoval is not as heavy as this Swisscolor Color X but still I recommend using a scargel since it has made me feeling better. I know how it feels because I've been there.. If you want to talk to someone about this, I'm here to help the best I can. Wish you the best!
August 15, 2018
Yes they keep saying healing time is 6-14 weeks. But its way longer than that. and scarring is possible. But the lady who did my removal keeps saying this procedure doesn't cause scarring at all
August 16, 2018
I think it's so wrong that they can advertise the healing time that way. The most people I have talked to have had months and even a year. Yeap. They told me too, and this happened.
August 16, 2018
Yep and i texted her to show how red it is.....and she was surprised. i asked for half or refund....and now she avoiding all my texts. Did u put any makeup on ur brows while it was healing? i wanna put like concealer to cover some parts but not sure if that good idea when it still healing. im on month 2 but it still pretty sensitive and red and looks like a scar basically.
August 17, 2018
Well, avoiding happened to me too :( I haven't put makeup at all on the area because I was thinking about the same. Remember to use sunscreen! I will use it till the End of the tear just to ptotect the scar. I wish there was a group (for ex. on Facebook) for all of us who goes this through.
August 19, 2018
Hahaha we can always create one!
August 19, 2018
Yeah we should :D

But yes. Too much messages here, so I guess I will someday soon make a facebook group for all of us who's going through this. I will notify you when it's done :)
August 29, 2018
So after using Kelocote, did the redness go away then??
August 29, 2018
Yes mostly, looks so much better. Still healing though.
August 30, 2018
Ive been using Mederma for 4 weeks and nothing much changed. But after Kelocote, I see more of a difference!!!
August 31, 2018
That's so great! I'm happy for you!!
January 28, 2019

October 31, 2020
Hello! Is your skin still red?
June 27, 2018
Did you put any cream on or anything to reduce redness?
July 13, 2018
I haven't, but I know you can use Mederma or vitamin E oil once you're completely healed.

December 21, 2018
Hey

How did it go with the redness. Did you do it?

Thanks
January 14, 2019
I did get the removal done and redness was an issue for 6-7months after the procedure
December 21, 2018
For those that did some kind of removal, did it completely go away? Or just faded?

Thanks

6 weeks after phiRemoval

Hi everyone,
I was asked what the scar looks like. May be hard to see in the photo, but you can see a pink area where the saturated color was. There is a gray outline around it. I want to have another session to remove it.

thanks for posting pic. Ru doing another gkycolic removal? have you been doing anything else to fade color ?
March 3, 2018
I will be doing another one this coming Monday! And I was using a retinol cream.
April 30, 2018
Can you post an update as far as if the pinkness goes away completely?
May 2, 2018
It hasn't gone away completely. It has only been less than 3 months since removal.
May 2, 2018
If you're interested, I'd consider how your skin typically heals after a scrape/ injury. I do have to wear makeup to hide the pinkness.
May 29, 2018
Can you do an updated post?

Omg glycolic acid removal of microblading worked!!!!

My scabs finally fell off 9 days after the first removal. I was expecting to have to go back another 2-3 times given how deep the pigment was. But when the scab fell off I saw that more pigment was lifted even during the healing process. I attached a picture of my scab free eyebrows (a little red ) and also the scab so you can see the strokes that were lifted.

has the redness gone away?
February 19, 2018
Some, but most scars will be a bit bright pink for a few months. I'll post an update soon
February 20, 2018
thanks!

Hi, I'd like to know with your experience would you recommend phi removal? How long have you had to deal with the red skin? I have strokes outside the hair line above my eyebrow that I want removed but am worried about the red scarring with this removal process since it is an area that will be exposed and not easily camouflaged by hair. What is your advice having had this experience?
