I just had my eyebrows tattooed today, they are too dark..I am sick..how can I lighten them? I have been scrubbing them all day in hopes of lightening them a little.
Give it some time, tattoos are naturally dark and will fade with time. However, depending on the color various lasers can be used to soften the appearance. This will likely require multiple treatments staged over a long period.
I searched around and get a bunch of different answers, Which tattoo will be lasered more successfully - a newer tattoo a month old or a tattoo that's years old? I am asking because my tattoo is about a month old and a i deeply regret it. (its all black, mostly shading) will I get effective results?
It depends on the pigment density more than anything as well as the color. Older tattoos tend to have a lower density and sometimes take less total sessions.
I had a tattoo removed on my lower back with laser. Now that the tattoo is gone the problem is that I have spots that have hypopigmentation on my back. My doctor said to fix it is to use Fraxel, more laser! Is this correct or is there another way to heal this problem?
I would give it a year before trying any interventions that could damage existing pigment cells (malanocytes) and give them time fo recover from the tattoo removal.
