Old Permanent Makeup and Microblading Cover-Ups

Ary's Brows feels, it is essential to have good long-term coverup results, with less trauma to the skin, many clients expect immediate results. All Eyebrow Correction Clients must trust the process and have patience with Eye Correction Artist's. Not all Old permanent make-up can be corrected, some cases require removal several times prior to corrections.  The process doesn't happen overnight. It is important to explain and advise what's best for a client, every case is different. Not all Old permanent make-up damage can be corrected, some old permanent make-up that results in scaring and skin indentation cannot be corrected. We need to find out as much as possible about the client to prepare a treatment plan. It is essential for all clients to be open and honest about all of their prior permanent make-up services and also how long they have waited between appointments and how long since their last service.

 

In many cases, those corrections are challenging, because it involves many unknowns like:

• brand and composition of the pigments line used by the previous practitioner

• color or mix of colors used

• fading

• clients skin's natural pigmentation

• length of time since the most recent application

• number of previous procedures

• structure of the skin

​

​

There are many factors that might cause a color shift, like the melanin in the skin and skin undertone, climate, and lifestyle.

​

Additional factors behind eyebrows discoloration:

• Medications

• Health

• Client's ethnicity

• Skin condition

• Skin-care products and treatments

• Sun exposure

Clients that Have Received Prior Work and Feel They Only Need a Touch-Up. Old Artist is No Longer Available

All clients that have received prior work for another artist will come in as either a new client, or eyebrow or color correction. Although clients may love their old work. Clients are not a professional. All Old Permanent Makeup cannot just receive a touch-up. Your new artist must see the old work and assess the original work, before taking on client as a new client. All Clients that have received prior permanent makeup must receive a consultation, prior to booking a session. New Clients cannot book a touch-up session, unless they have already received service from Arys Brows.

Microblading Color Correction

In some cases, previous deep pigmentation might cause scarring, especially with the manual microblading technique done by an inexperienced micro blader. In this case, it is harder to implement evenly new pigment to perform color correction of the eyebrows.

​

Because of this, there is no guarantee of a specific result. It is hard to determine how many pigment removal sessions or color correction sessions the client needs. The good news is that Arys Brows can usually improve the appearance by proper color and shape correction.

​

Color Corrections Is Not Always the Answer

We do not always perform procedures to cover old permanent makeup or microblading. Especially when the client is looking for a more natural outcome and the pigmented area is oversaturated and poorly shaped, we recommend starting with the removal of old permanent makeup or microblading.

​

Once an old tattoo fades at least about 50% we can consider color correction. It is important to have realistic expectations and make sure the client knows about all the possibilities.

Conclusion

Ary's Brows knows first-hand that discolored or botched eyebrows can be a headache, but it doesn't have to be.

We can color correct eyebrows if we don't need to completely change the shape and pigment is not oversaturated.

Color correction works but can be complicated, it takes more time and costs than making new permanent eyebrows. Eyebrow correction, Color correction, Removal and Shape Alterations are not a 100% Guarantee fix.  All clients must understand this prior to services. It is not the new artist fault if old work cannot be removed or covered 100%. 

​

Every eyebrow correction needs a comprehensive action plan based on the individual case. Sometimes it will be a combination of removal and color correction. This requires the client's patience and dedication.

Color corrected eyebrows might need more touch-up sessions to maintain good results. We would love to help, even if it's just a consultation, for advice. We understand that a bad Permanent Make-up experience, can cause trust issues. Know your Options.
