I know this video is a year old however I want to thank you for posting your experience. My best friend went and got microshading because micro blading was booked up for a year. The place she went botched her brows sooo bad, I cried with her. It was supposed to be something that boosted her self esteem and instead it made her feel worse. I shared your video with her so she can see how you handled your brows. Ty

Hi Gabriela! Thank you for sharing your experience. I had my eyebrows done a few years ago, but never went for a touch up because I hated them. I’m also located in NYC. What I understood from your 2 previous videos you did a saline removal with Dr. Avaliani and then Picosure at Eye Design afterwards. I love your results and wanted to go to these places as well, if you’d recommend. Thank you 🙏🥰

Hello thank you for this videos i had microblading done today and the end is longer on my left brow then the right brow

Hi Gabby! My ink is lighter so when I went to get pico laser it turned dark grayish green and it isn’t fading so I’m going to try saline… I am doing the lift and they told me to DRY Heal…. But I’m understanding that you started using the serum immediately after saline. Is that correct?

Thank you for making a video about all these tips! I got an awful microblade job done last month and am actually starting salt/saline removal next Wednesday, which I’m super excited for because I can not stand what my eyebrows look like now. I did want to ask about your routine for showering/washing hair? I’m going to make sure to take a really good shower before I go in for each of my sessions but how long would you recommend waiting to wash hair after each session?

You're welcome and thanks for watching! If you mean the eyebrow hair, they say you should lightly just water them, but not until at least 5-7 days after the saline. But for the picosure they say that 1-2 days is enough time to wait to put water and soap. The saline solution will leave you with some scabbing and so it will be tender to touch for the first week or so.

Picosure is a laser and it targets the ink. It’s like a tattoo removal laser. Saline is when they create little holes, almost like the original Microblading, and they will put saline solution liquid inside the holes and it essentially will pull out the ink.

Does the saline removal cause scar tissue? Will it ruin your own brows from growing back in?

@GabrielaMariex

No, the saline solution removal should not leave scarring. If you find a place that has good reviews, there should be no issue. I did not have scarring and my eyebrows are now grown fully.

The saline removal takes a few days longer (about a week and a half to two) to heal than the picosure laser. Since they are physically taking out the ink and making little cuts, the scabbing takes longer to heal. The picosure laser heals in just a couple days.
