Microblading has become a popular technique for achieving well-defined and natural-looking eyebrows. However, there are instances when we get new clients that may find themselves dissatisfied with the results of their previous microblading. Whether it's due to fading, uneven pigmentation, or changes in personal preference, knowing when to consider permanent makeup removal is crucial. We will discuss the reasons why you may want to remove your previous microblading or powder brow and talk about various removal options available.
Why Consider Microblading or Powder Removal:
Faded, Over Saturated or Discolored Pigment: Over time, microblading pigment may fade or change color, leading to dissatisfaction with the overall appearance. This can happen due to exposure to sunlight, skincare products, or natural fading. Also there could be the opposite issue where the pigment is oversaturated meaning there is so much pigment in the skin a correction is not possible without removal. The skin can only accept so much pigment before it can no longer hold anymore.
Uneven or Asymmetrical Results: If the initial microblading procedure resulted in uneven or asymmetrical eyebrows, it might be a reason for removal. Achieving balanced and symmetrical brows is crucial for a natural look.
Change in Personal Style or Preference: Personal preferences evolve, and what once seemed like the perfect eyebrow shape may no longer align with your style or preferences. In such cases, removal might be a preferable option.
Options for Microblading/Powder Brow Removal:
Laser Tattoo Removal: Laser removal is a popular and effective method for removing unwanted microblading/powder brow. Specialized lasers break down the pigment particles, allowing the body to naturally eliminate them. The basic principle is to selectively target the tattoo pigment while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin. The key player in this process is the laser – an acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.
Once the laser light is absorbed by the tattoo pigment, it generates heat. This heat causes the ink particles to fragment into smaller pieces. The body's immune system then recognizes these smaller particles as foreign substances and gradually eliminates them through natural processes.
Before undergoing laser tattoo removal, individuals typically consult with a licensed and experienced practitioner. The consultation involves assessing the tattoo, discussing expectations, and determining the number of sessions required based on factors like tattoo size, ink colors, and skin type.
2. Saline Tattoo Removal: Saline removal involves tattooing a saline solution into the treated area, which lifts the pigment out of the skin. This method is less invasive than laser removal and may be a suitable option for those with sensitive skin. This technique is currently prohibited in the state of Texas.
3. Natural Fading: Over time, microblading pigment may naturally fade, especially if it was not deeply implanted during the initial procedure. This option is suitable for those who can wait for the pigment to fade gradually.
Deciding to remove previous microblading/powder brow is a personal choice, and understanding the available removal options is essential. Consultation with a trained and experienced brow artist is recommended to determine the best course of action based on your individual needs and skin conditions. Whether opting for laser removal, saline removal, or other methods, the goal is to achieve natural-looking and satisfying results that align with your preferences.
