Having brows microbladed today - EEEEK!!

[chocolatesaltyballs22]

Am very nervous, feel like I'm going to the dentist or something equally horrific. Please tell me it won't hurt like hell and I won't look hideous for weeks! Show me yours so that I can see that it's worth it.

PLEEEEEEEASE someone reassure me, seriously freaking out here!!!

How did you go on? I’ve not had mine done but considering it as they are a bit feeble and getting worse with age!

Just back, was ok. Lots of numbing cream helped. The worse bit is the first part when they break the skin, then the rest is just a bit uncomfortable. Go for it! I'm really pleased with the results. Would post a pic but they're a bit stark at the minute - they fade after a few days.

Glad you’re pleased with the result, maybe post a pic when they’ve calmed down a little?

I had mine done nearly 3 years ago I think. They've gone a bit orange now need to get something done with them

Just got back from having mine done.

It fucking hurt, but they look great.

Now to keep them dry for 10 days....

Had mine done 3 years ago and very pleased but they do need doing again now
Quite painful but well worth it

Happy brow day @hermioneweasley!

Thanks @chocolatesaltyballs22

You too

How are yours this morning

They're fine, just surprised myself when I looked in the mirror first thing haha! No scabbing yet. You?

Also, how bloody difficult is it to shower without getting your face wet?!

No scabbing yet, but general area still quite red and swollen! They look like well drawn on eyebrows which was odd to wake up with

Haven’t attempted showering yet but bought some face shields from Amazon which I’ll be trying out later

I’ve had mine done and I’m so glad I did. It stings a bit but it’s okay. Just make sure you put on Vaseline twice a day for at least three days. I’ve had a lot of compliments. Good luck OP. X

My beautician said to put nothing on.

Can I ask if you can get micro blading if you have eyebrows, or do they only work if you've got very little hair?

Mine said the same - I asked about putting a cream or similar on like tattooing and she said absolutely not

@KickAssAngel either works. I have very little brow hair, but if you do you can still get them done.

Had mine done recently. Delighted with them. It's good to have fuller brows again as mine were getting a bit sparse with age. The hardest part was not getting them wet in the shower during the healing period. I did a lot of backwards contortions!
I was given some kind of aqueous cream to put on them during the healing phase- a bit like vaseline but not as sticky or shiny.

@KickAssAngel - Yes, you can get them done if you have brows. I still have brows - they're just a bit thin from overplucking when much younger. Microblading thickens and/or shapes them depending on what look you want. Why not try a consultation to see if it's for you?

Tried my stick on face shield for thr first time in the shower and it worked a treat

OMG mine are itchy today!

@HermioneWeasley how are your brows looking? I have half flaked off skin with paler brows underneath, and half darker with scabs on! It's most attractive! I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end though.

Hello eyebrow buddy!

Mine have settled to look very natural - bit lighter than they were first few days after and not tight and shiny any more. I took have dry flaky skin - nice. Unfortunately I’ve got a couple of patches where the pigment hasn’t taken (or a scab has fallen off and taken it with it?) so I’ve got a follow up in a couple of weeks. But I love them, I love having (nearly) perfect eyebrows all the time and I’ve had a few compliments.

Me too I think they're gonna change my life!

Definitely. It’s a new addiction
