Microblading Color Correction - How Does it Work?

Microblading

Posted by Jennifer Ngo at August 16th, 2023

Are you the proud owner of freshly microbladed eyebrows but notice a slight hiccup in the color department? Don't fret; it's not uncommon for the pigment used during microblading to undergo subtle changes during the healing process.  In this article, we'll teach you a bit about microblading color correction. Sometimes, the color can appear too dark or light post-procedure, leaving you longing for the perfect shade. But worry not! This article will explore the strategies and techniques for follow-up color correction sessions, ensuring your eyebrows remain gorgeous.

Microblading Color Correction: The Initial Consultation

The first step on your color correction journey is contacting a professional microblading salon. Experienced brow technicians are well-versed in eyebrow enhancement and color correction. So, if you've had your microblading done at a reputable salon, you're already one step ahead. Once you've scheduled your appointment, prepare for an initial consultation at the salon; this is where the magic begins. Your brow artist will discuss your concerns and desired outcomes/color goals.  Communication is key, so don't hesitate to share your preferences and any inspirational photos you may have. Whether you're looking for a bold, natural, or somewhere in-between, the experts have got you covered. Also, remember that your color will change after the initial session; the perfection happens during your 6-8 week touchup. Be sure to voice any concerns during this time.

Making Adjustments to Your Color

Microblading techniques can be implemented to make color corrections in a few different ways, such as:
  • Remove the fading pigment with chemical treatments
  • Blend new pigments with existing ones to create new enchanted coloring or fix mismatched colors
  • Microshading to cover up old color that is no longer effective
The big takeaway is this: to neutralize unwanted color or adjust the established color, a brow artist may employ techniques such as color balancing, pigment lightening, or selective removal using specialized chemical solutions. Once your color correction session is complete, your eyebrow salon experts will guide you on maintaining a fresh look, including using specific products or scheduling touch-up appointments as needed.
