Learn how to restore your skin’s appearance with microblading removal
Microblading has become a popular option in permanent makeup over the last several years. Naturally, this has led to an increase in people interested in microblading removal. Making the decision to get permanent makeup is not any easy one, and a botched microblading job is everyone’s worst nightmare. That’s why it’s so important to find a licensed professional to perform this service, but even then, you may still be unhappy if the results are not what you expected them to be.
Microblading is a form of tattooing that uses a fine needle and cosmetic pigment to add the appearance of fine hairs in and around the eyebrows to create the client’s desired look. Microbladed eyebrows are usually customized to the person, so that the appearance is natural and blends in with their existing brow color. For many, it’s a great way for them to fill in sparse eyebrows from past overplucking, create a natural looking arch, or use less makeup on a daily basis.
Just like any other kind of tattoo, microblading can go wrong, and that’s why microblading removal is an option.
Reasons why someone might want to remove their eyebrow tattoos:
– Pigment color is spotty, uneven, or too dark
– Needle strokes are too long, too short or too thick
– Shape is not as expected
– Brows don’t appear to be even
– Pigment changed over time
– Poor quality
Another issue that some clients experience is the ink being deposited too deep into the skin. This can lead to the ink looking gray or blue when it heals.
Luckily microblading removal is a pretty easy, fast and effective process.
Why remove microblading
Some of my clients want microblading removal so that they can get it redone in a different style, color or shape, while others want it removed completely. Most of the time I hear that the result is simply not what they expected- maybe an untrained artist did the microblading freehand and it’s uneven, bad quality, or completely wrong color.
I’ve heard horror stories about people going for a second microblading session to try to fix the first one and making the issue worse. Botched microblading can lead to a drop in self confidence, feelings of disappointment and stress related to trying to figure out the best way to camouflage or remove it.
If you’re not happy with the results of your permanent makeup, the best way to remove eyebrow tattoos is with laser microblading removal. The creams, at home exfoliation or saline treatments at a medi spa just won’t cut it, and they can permanently damage your skin in the process. Laser tattoo removal for microblading preserves the integrity of your skin, so that you aren’t left with blisters or scars. You will be free to get your microblading redone, or simply completely have it removed and move on. The choice is yours.
I routinely help my clients remove microblading because it’s a process that’s so commonly done these days. Typically the issue is the color is just a little off, and that’s hard to deal with when you look at yourself in the mirror every day. Other times, the shape didn’t come out as desired. Or, maybe the color and shape are ideal, except the tattoo came out much darker than expected. These are all great reasons to utilize the awesome power of laser to lighten up or remove the microblading.
Microblading removal procedure is simple
When you come in for your first treatment, I’ll evaluate the condition of your microblading and give you an estimate on how many sessions I think it will take to remove them. You’ll have time to ask any questions you may have and after some paperwork, we’ll put on some eye protection and get to work. With a small area to work on, you’ll be in and out quickly and be able to get on with your day as normal.
How many sessions will it take?
Since microblading tattoos are usually applied with a pretty light hand, and cover such a small area, the number of sessions is low to lighten up or completely remove these eyebrow tattoos. Typically 1-3 laser removal of microblading sessions is all that’s needed to fully remove microblading, but the process can take longer depending on the age and saturation of the eyebrow tattoo. For example, if the microblading is only a few weeks old compared to a few years old- these differences will impact the number of sessions it takes to remove.
