What Does Microblading Look Like After 5 Years?

Microblading

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at September 1st, 2023

Have you recently undergone microblading treatment? Are you curious about what your eyebrows might look like five years down the line, with or without follow-up treatments and proper aftercare? Let's discuss the secrets to maintaining those flawless brows over the years!

What Does Microblading Look Like After 5 Years?

The key distinction between microblading and traditional tattoos lies in the pigments used. Microbladed eyebrows don't rely on tattoo ink but instead utilize PMU pigments. The skin absorbs and breaks down these pigments, gradually fading over time, a process vital for achieving a natural look.

Fading or Removal: The Choice is Yours

Fast forward five years after your initial microblading treatment, and you might wonder: has the pigmentation completely vanished? The answer is yes, and that's the plan! Microblading lasts 18-24 months on average, with significant fading around that period. This fading indicates a successful treatment, demonstrating that your skin had no adverse reactions to the pigment. But fear not if your microblading has indeed faded. You have options - either embrace your natural look or opt for a fresh set of semi-permanent eyebrows, worry-free. Depending on the quality of pigment used, the pigmentation might take on a different hue or shape, leading to the need for a removal procedure. Choose between glycolic acid, laser, or saline removal, depending on the pigmentation's shade. However, be prepared; removal is a slow and meticulous process spanning several months. Alternatively, if you prefer not to go through the entire removal process, let the pigmentation fade naturally and then opt for a new microblading procedure to cover it up.

The Art of the Touch-Up

Fear not if your microblading pigmentation has discolored, but the shape remains acceptable. A skilled brow artist can perform color correction using PMU pigments. This process neutralizes unwanted colors, producing a natural-looking shade close to perfection. A touch-up is a fantastic option for those who have maintained their eyebrow shape without significant discoloration.
