I'm so depressed. I feel as though I've destroyed my whole face. I asked the lady to define and accentuate the eyebrows I already have. I said that I didnt want to look cartoonish. Once she showed me the final result I freaked out. She said that everyone freaks out at first because it's so dark, it waant the case at all - they have a weird arch and roundness to them. It was not what I wanted. She just went to town on my eyebrows and didn't try to highlight my features or match the brows to my face. My intuition was clearly telling me to run before she started, wish I had listened to it. She was such a nice lady and sounded as if she knew what she was doing. I had eyebrow tattooing done about 6 years ago and loved it. I showed her photos of that and said I wanted the same. She said they were very thin and that I should go a bit thicker. I decided to trust her. Please offer any advice on what I should do next. Is it as bad as I think? Or is it in my head?! I looked up some youtube videos or girls that had just been microbladed and they look amazing, I feel the opposite of amazing. Thank you.

Hi sorry to hear your pain. As someone who is in training and knows quite a lot about the treatment I can say that that will fade an awful lot and the one thing that seems obvious is do not go back to your top up proceedure. Have you written to her? How long have you had them now? There are.certain products that can get rid of strokes along with certain skin treatments that when applied effect the retention x

Thanks for your response. That's good to know that it will fade a lot. Definitely won't be going back in for a top up. I called the lady today and she said that in a month I can come back and she can try to take out the pigments left using a needle, saline and salt. She also said that I should sweat a lot - time to hit the gym. I'm also going to a salt room after work to see if that helps to draw it out. Fingers crossed! x

Did you just get them done yesterday when you created this post?....I had gotten mine done too and I felt the exact same way you do. I hated them and thought I was stuck with that mess....But after about 5 days, they scabbed up, and they disappeared....I was SO happy!!!...You may have the same result, just hangot in there.

I got them done on Friday, so I'm on day 6. They scabbed up and came off, sadly a lot of ink stayed in :( I'm praying that the rest fades in the next month! Crazy that so many of us are having the same issue! You're so lucky that yours disappeared!

Wow...I'm so sorry to hear that. I know how it feels because I was sick to my stomach with regret...I really hope they lighten up soon...This procedure isn't for everyone...I'm just glad they went away.

Removing microblading
maggie0417January 6, 2017
Lastnight I went back to the lady that microbladed my eyebrows and she attempted to remove the ink. She numbed my eyebrows then with a tattoo gun she injected a mix of saline, salt and water. Since my eyebrows are so sensitive right now it hurt, I could feel alnost every needle prick. I just wanted this ink out though. Today they're red and blood is showing as she had to open the wound in attempt to flush out the ink. I just pray this heals and doesn't leave a scar.

There are others on this site that have removed/partially removed they microfilmed brows...I can never find things but perhaps you can pull up some of their efforts. I agree with you about your initial results...my daughter had hers done after all her brows fell out following a pregnancy..not her eyelashes , just her brows. At first she hated them BUT we all liked them. At first they were very dark, but she has black hair. ALSO she was used to looking at her face without any brows and it was a dramatic difference. 3 wks later the color etc was perfect...1 arch was slightly higher that the other...Tech fixed it and filled in where some of the strokes had gone missing...she is very happy now...Our females have lots of long hair and she was spending more time trying to draw on eyebrows that doing all her hair!

hey, sorry to hear of your experience. I am in a similar situation and didn't leave the house for the first 2 weeks after getting mine done. I hated them... still do. Did you have any luck with this removal option? Did it scar? Will you share an updated photo?

I think it was a little premature to have them "corrected " as it can take 2-3 weeks before the healing, pigment, and shape settle. My color was too dark at first but she assured me that after a short time the color would diminish. I hope that whatever happened you have better results

Hello, to be honest the only way that you're going to be able to fix these is to go to a plastic surgeon to receive skin treatments. They usually run about $200 a session sometimes more. I'm sorry that this happened to you!!

I don't think the person you are going to knows what she is doing. It is absolutely forbidden to do any more to the brows until they are completely healed or you could cause major scarring. I hope all goes well.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope you find support in the community.
