Botched microblading — what are your options?

Why cover-ups so often disappoint

A cover-up has to fight the old work: darker pigment over the mistake, density over density. When the new layer fades — and it will — the old work resurfaces underneath it, now with company. Artists see this constantly: the third or fourth layer of correction sitting in skin that only ever needed less, not more.

What removal restores

Removal doesn't take a position on what your brows should look like next. It clears the unwanted pigment progressively — shape errors, migrated strokes, wrong tones — until you're back at a clean baseline. From there, everything is possible again: living with your natural brow, better-designed new work, or nothing at all.

If the work was recent and still healing, timing matters: fresh trauma needs to settle before removal begins. Bring the date of the original work to your consultation.
