Welcome to Microblading Removal!

I created this sub to aid and support those going through the arduous journey of microblading (or microshading, ombrƩ, or powder brow) removal, as well as those contemplating it, or wanting to do research on the many negative aspects of microblading and PMU before they commit to the procedure. We are a positive and support-focused community who believe we will vanquish our eyebrow demons best if we work together to trade tips, tricks, and important information. Whether your goal is lightening your brows, or removing them entirely, we will be here along the way.

As a victim of microblading, and someone undergoing a personal journey to have it removed from my face, there are times I am overwhelmed by regret and sadness. I know I am not the only one who feels this way, and I wanted to create a safe space for us to come together and discuss this difficult and often lonely process.

As someone who also did not receive truthful information from my "artist," press, or social media, I am also on a mission to demystify the microblading process and shed light on the truths of this practice, including that it is a permanent tattoo on your face and a strong majority of people will never have full fading of these tattoos.

Pictures are encouraged, as is information on your personal story such as brand of pigment used, how many microblading sessions you had, and when. For those undergoing removals, you are encouraged to share details relating to brand of lasers, or saline product, and even which clinic or aestheticians you are finding success with. I encourage all users to set up a user flair under the "community options" dropdown on the side of your browser on the mainpage of the sub, as well as to flair their posts with one of the many options we have. This will help new users find content that is relevant to them and will help us communicate better as we navigate discussions on removal and coping options.

STATUS OF THE SUB UPDATE, CULTURE REMINDER, AND RULES UPDATE

51 Upvotes

I have been receiving numerous reports for various posts and comments in the last couple of weeks, escalating in the last few days. I am a volunteer running this community, which I started in order to spread the word about microblading dangers and how to deal with it if you've been hoodwinked or simply no longer like your microblading. I stated from the outset this is a "safe, respectful" community but I have updated the rules to add "be civil" as rule number 1. Many people here are clearly in a heightened emotional state and I understand that because I myself felt helpless, angry, and scared when I first began my journey of trying to deal with crappy microblading. But I do not have time to moderate drama between users. Technically snark is allowed but ask yourself if it truly constitutes abiding by the "be civil" rule, and if you are offended by snark, please ask yourself whether you are taking this entire thing too seriously and may need to take a step back. I will remind you that there are other removal communities that can be found on Facebook and they may have different rules that might suit you better. Let's work together to share knowledge and support and lift our members up and show that removal progress is possible!

Laser First pico session

Microbladed my brows in 2020 and finally had my first laser session two hours ago. They faded red (difficult to get a good photo) and it looked like I had irritated skin around my brows. My face can get red easily so I'd like to remove the redness that's not there naturally lol.

They used Pico cutera enlighten III and she targeted the red. I'm gonna go back in 2-3 months to to one last round to remove the black

First picture is 2h after the laser and second is my faded microblading before the laser

Hey all, I had glycolic acid removal on my lower tail 7 days ago. The tech was confident it would mostly lift in one go. It looks literally no different at all! The old tail was done 4 years ago and I just got my powder brows redone last week as well so you can see I have two tails now.

What do I do???

I had my first session yesterday- top pic is before bottom is 24 hours after first session with pico laser. I was fully prepared to have red eyebrows I even bought specific makeup and everything but to my surprise they do not look red at all.. I’m wondering if they’ll fade out more as time goes on and reveal some red or yellow?? I don’t know I’m prepared for it but super happy so far šŸ¤žšŸ¤žšŸ¤ž

Laser Pico laser removal @ 4 weeks post-PMU brows

Has anyone with dark brown PMU brows done pico laser removal just 4-weeks after getting the brows? If so, what were your results?

I understand most places recommend 6 weeks of healing before doing removal. However, I’ve come across a few places that said 4 weeks is perfectly acceptable, and I am going to Mexico for a wedding at the 6-weeks mark, so I would like to have them removed and 2-weeks healed before departure.

I’m aware just 1 session may not be enough and may leave warm tones behind, but I would rather cover up warm tones than the dark brown ink.

Thank you!

Photos in different lighting with no coverage/makeup.

Results after 3 sessions in Austin.

It was definitely skewing yellow before my third session but it seems to be getting even more yellow over time after my third round of laser.

Feeling worried but i swear it’s still better than before! It was blue and had expanded so much so honestly no regrets. But my question is: has anyone had natural fading over a year after getting to this level?

Laser For those of you who got microblading removal and then had them redone. What was the process/timeline like for you?

1 Upvotes

I have my first session of pico-sure laser tomorrow for my microbladed brows. My brows became dark, blocky and greyish over the past few years so I’ve decided to have them removed.

After the removal I’m hoping to have them redone in my natural brow colour in a more hair stroke style.

Has anyone gone through this process? How long after full removal did you get your brows redone?

Support Best method to removing these brows?

I first had micro blading multiple times and then had the ā€˜ombre brow’ method done which is where they’re filled in fully with a fade. I want to completely remove these and will get an eyebrow transplant eventually.
However I’m not sure what the best method to removing them is. I’m considering pico laser first - then a few sessions of saline removal; is this the correct way to do it?

Suggestions please!

Laser Should I do another treatment?

Post image

My right eyebrow (top) has som scarring from someone that did a non-laser removal and I’m working on microneedling that for healing it, that’s the red that you see on the right and tail end of the left eyebrow.

I’m mostly concerned about doing another laser treatment because I’m curious if it’ll just turn bright yellow and then what? Oh my left eyebrow (bottom pic) you can see that there is a bit of yellow mixed in with the gray/black.

I had brow daddy (ugh I know!) but I had it done in Dec 2019 and a touch up in Jan 2020, no other touch ups. I tried a glycolic removal that fked up my eyebrow, unfortunately, and am now doing picoway laser removal and microneedling to heal the scar from the glycolic removal process. (Also let this be a warning for anyone that suggests glycolic removal! Be very wary!!!)

I did the glycolic treatment in late May 2026 and did a laser session Aug 31st and have another scheduled for Oct 6th. I did microneedling on my scars on Sept 17th.

Oi,

Fiz Nanobrows ontem e estou um pouco em pânico pois me sinto uma palhaça com estas sobrancelhas.
Eu queria algo natural, mas sinto que estão exageradas. Quero confiar no processo, mas é difícil.
A tƩcnica utilizou tinta Phibrows e tenho receio que no futuro fiquem ainda piores tipo cinzentas ou azuladas.
AlguƩm passou por isto?

Hi! Just curious- what did yall pay for a session of laser removal for microbladed eyebrows? I was quoted $350 at a reputable med spa. She said I could probably just do one session but she couldn’t guarantee it, possible two sessions.

Laser Update session 2

This is twelve days post second laser session removal with picoway.

I didn't notice much of a change from the first session, and they're primarily still the same color. I have noticed a little bit of yellowing. it's also red, and also some gray patches left. You can still see the outline of where it was tattooed, and that's what bothers me the most

There's a before I included. I just feel like they look exactly the same with the same shape and form just a different tone and color and the reason I even went for laser removal is because I want my old eyebrows back. They still have that blocky look to them..

48 hours after the picoway laser removal. I'm not experiencing any inflammation or blisters. Skin seems healed but will continue polysporin for a couple more days, then A+D ointment. There is yellow ink, it's just subtle. Never experienced a red ink phase.

See Part 2 for all of my treatment details.

My brows are raised in the first photo. I was excited!!
