Until recently, the only way to cover this was with make up. Using a slim brow pencil in light, hair stroke motions through the brow can help to recreate that microbladed look. For any discolouration that fall outside of your brow shape, you can clean this up with concealer and a flat, brow highlighter brush.

Microblading can be removed through various methods such as saline tattoo removal, laser treatment, or using specially formulated techniques to lighten or fade the pigment.
As microblading never lasts more than a few months, you will require more and more touch-ups for the rest of your life. As you might imagine, this repeated cutting of the skin leaves you with permanent damage and may even kill your existing hair follicles.
If your brows seem too thick, too thin, or asymmetrical, it could indicate ruined microblading. Additinally, even color retention across both brows is ideal. Spots or inconsistent color may signal ruined microblading. The goal of microblading is to mimic natural brow hairs.

Laser tattoo removal is the fastest and safest way to remove microblading tattoos. We recommend the Candela PicoWay which is FDA certified and noninvasive. This laser will provide the best results with minimal to no cosmetic ink remaining.
Professional procedures such as microdermabrasion and facials with cleansers can help exfoliate the upper layers of the skin and help the body naturally get rid of the pigment. You may need several sessions of microdermabrasion but you should notice a definite “lightening” after each and every session.
Let's review the commonly recommended options for healing the skin after getting a tattoo or your eyebrows microbladed. Vaseline/petroleum may fade the ink but it will not cause an allergic reaction and is cheap so for many this is an ok trade off.
Sweat. For the same reason that water should be avoided during the healing/scabbing process after microblading, sweat should also be avoided. Sweat comes from the inside of the skin and can push the pigment out and cause the microblading strokes not to retain.
If you had really bad microblading and just want them removed altogether consider getting a saline tattoo removal. A specialist will apply a saline solution to your brows which will cause the ink to lift from your skin over a period of time.
The most popular way to fade old Microblading is with a product containing glycolic acid, like a glycolic acid peel. Glycolic acid peels work by gently exfoliating away layers of skin which gradually lightens the pigment left from your Microblading session.
