Just needing a little reassurance to ease my anxiety- first session today
Hey guys, I’m sorry I’m sure these posts are super common in this sub but I just had my first session today and I’m pretty anxious. I already tend to run anxious in general but change/unknowns tends to ramp it up for me.
Got my first session today. Did a test spot a little over a month ago and it was red (irritation) for a night then faded to my natural skin colour and there was 0 residual pigment left behind in the test spot (no salmon tones or yellow) so my laser tech gave green light to proceed.
Anyways fast forward to today I went in for my first full session. First photo is immediately after once I got back to my car. Second photo is an hour later. Third photo is 4 hours later. I’m hoping it will act similarly to test spot (ie redness was just irritation in the end and went away pretty fast VS residual pigment turning red which I know is common). My brow hair did frost a tad/lighten (usually they’re naturally blackish dark brown) but I’m not worried about that. I think the red is just throwing me off despite my lovely laser tech preparing me for it lol.
As you can see the old microblading was way above my actual brow line.
I guess I’m just looking for some support or positive stories to help ease my anxiety. I’m sure by tomorrow I’ll be feeling better I’m just a bit nervous at the moment lol bonus points if anyone feels comfortable sharing their progress pics in comments to give me something to look forward to 😊
