Hello everyone still fighting with old eyebrows

Dear girls, sorry for not writing so long. I still haven't managed to fade the green parts unfortunately...But, I am still using acid (TCA 30%) applying it by myself. It is really slow and boring process. I think I will need the whole next winter for acid treatments in order to fade everything...Each time I put the acid I have to take extreme care of that part of the skin, to put a lot of cream and apply plasters during the night in order not to break the crusts and get a scar. Now it is summer in Serbia about 35 C and a lot of sun so I can not apply acid because it is strongly forbidden to use it when the skin is exposed to the sun. Even if I am not SOOO satisfied with the progress I must say that it is seenable a bit and I am putting pictures also so I would appreciate your HONEST comments. I have to say sorry to all the girls whose questions or messages I have missed to answer. Feel free to write me on my email adress: pipac92@hotmail.com for any question or doubt. Kisses to everyone!!!!! I hope my post is useful for thise who have unfortunately already tattooed their eyebrows and also for the ones who haven't tattooed yet, In order to be warned what can happen!!!! Best wishes
UPDATED FROM Micka_SRBIJA
Hello after a long time
Micka_SRBIJAAugust 2, 2015
I am sorry I have not written any update so long, but I tried to answer to all of you who wrote me in inbox. My last laser treatment was on April 9th 2014, you can see photos in the update from September 5th. I quitted laser and I started with TCA (TriChloridAcid) 30%, cosmetician gave me the acid in small glass bottle in order to apply it by myself. First time I didn't know what to expect so I put a lot of acid (first photo) and my skin burned a little and I was so scared. i had crusts and wounds. I took care of my skin even with hansaplast and it did not left me any scar but skin was a bit red...That was in January 2015.After that since I was scared I started putting acid very very carefully in small amounts every month only on green parts. The progress was slow but there was not any chance or threat of scarring (photo 3). The cosmetician told me that I should put more TCA in order to have better results. I had one accident. Even if I knew that acid is dangerous (from the first time I had put it) it spilled from the green area to healthy skin and i got burned !!!! :(((( (photos 4,5,6) I cried for a few days I was desperate. You see me crying in the photos. :((((((((((( :'( :'( :'(
I took extreme care of my skin (photo 7) and there is no scar left but the skin is still red and it is irritated but I hope that it will heal during the next few months. Photo 8 shows the redness but it is not real in the photo as it is when seen live. It's been a month since then and I put acid again but this time really controlled and now I have very small scrubs so I still do not see the progress but I hope that green things are fading. Even if acid is really really dangerous I do not have any options and I will continue using it. If using I warn you to be careful !!!!! I updated this story with photos not to discourage you from using TCA but to show you and warn you of possible dangerous outcomes. I will continue using it with hope that green parts will fade completely. Best wishes

Thank you for the update! I too have horrible eyebrow tattoos (done Dec 2014) and have been trying to remove them. So I feel your pain! I did 3 treatments of saline removal and 1 treatment of laser 3 weeks ago. I was so scared after the laser treatment! The doc blessedly numbed up my eyebrows so I did not feel any pain...but it was scary nonetheless ESP when I saw my eyebrows right after! the wounds looked frightening! It scabbed up and eventually peeled after 7 days. It looks like most of the color is gone but now I am left w red scarring from the new skin which I hope will fade with time. The eyebrow tattoos were done past my natural eyebrow line. I want to go back to my natural shape so I am really praying it will heal completely and not leave any scars. Any scars will be very visible and noticeable since I won't have any eyebrow hair there to cover them up.
Did you have red scars at the wound after the skin healed? How long did it take to fade? Did you use any creams or oils to help the healing?
Again, I want to say thank u for posting ur experience and sharing ur pictures with us! You've given me so much comfort. Remember that u r not alone! I hope u have great results with the TCA, and that this will be ur final journal in achieving your goal of getting rid of the eyebrow tattoos once and for all! XOXO from CA USA

Hi! I see you are in CA and have done saline removal. Do you have any photos? Did it work? Where did you get this done. Please help, I have fresh brows I hate, with few options for removal

TCA acid is very strong,but can yield some results. Please be careful. I only worry that you may accidentally scar your brow area and do damage to the hair follicle. It saddens me at such a young and beautiful girl as yourself has gone through much trauma.
Honestly I liked your tattooed eyebrows. But if you don't like them that is the most important thing.

Omg , I'm an Esthetician , and tca peel is something serious ! Whoever give it to you most to tell you before you applied that you need the prep solution than the apply the tca and leave it on it neutralize itself , but the best thing would of been for you to go to a professional and get those peels done , poor thing I really hope thing get better sokn

Micka I'm so sorry to hear about your bad eyebrow tattoo experience. You're a beautiful girl and didn't think they were bad at all but if you weren't happy with them that's what's important. I just had my eyebrows cosmetically tattooed for the 1st time and was scared about it even though I had been wanting to do it for a long time since my eyebrows started to thin. I did alot of reseach and finally had the chance at a tattoo convention. The girl that did mine had hundreds of great reviews. I love them. She showed me different colors that would match my hair color and also pencil shaped them 1st before starting. It took about 30 minutes before I was finally satisfied with the color and shape after erasing the shape several times. She completely knumbed my brows and didn't feel a thing. In between alternating brows she would add more numbing cream. I have an appointment already set for my eyeliner soon. Before going through something permanent the best thing to do is research and check their reviews. I really hope that you are healed now and wish you the best in beauty. ❤️

Confused
Micka_SRBIJADecember 5, 2014
Hi everyone,I haven't gone to another laser treatment yet because I am thinking of leaving that removal method because my green parts are still there and I am afraid of scars since the skin changed the texture on that area already...:( One lady invited me to talk to her about some other removal method and I will go to hear her opinion. Please write me if you have some experiences. I still have not found anyone with oxided permanent make up and I dont know what wi happen with my scars or if I will ever be able to fade the green parts?!?! Please help me with your experiences

What other method is she talking about? Do you know if it is the Saline or salt method?
December 6, 2014
Some micropigmentation, I have not meet her yet so I do not know the details but they use some chemical mix which they apply ( do not know how I guess like tattoing ) and then it makes a scrab which is pulling out the ink and when it is dry it falls off and takes the color with it.
December 6, 2014
i think this could be the saline/salt mixture, ask them about hyperpigmentation. That's one of the side effects and that's not good either. It makes the area white.
December 6, 2014
Okay I will ask everything before I decide about treatment...everything is better than green color on Our forehead :( desperate...
December 6, 2014
i dont know where my posts are going I posted 2x here we go again....Micka, where do you live? I was considering getting mine removed from this woman that owns a school and has been removing eyebrow tattoos for a while....I had an appt to do it and I chickened out cause of the White or scarring. Maybe I will make another appt and talk to her about these issues. I was thinking if she is good maybe she could help both of us..

I also had a horrible experience with permanent makeup (Nicole in Maui, HI--not recommended!), and had about ten treatments--with an alexandrite laser, as I was that is the one that would work. Ten treatments later, it had removed all of the ink. I then saw a specialist who did hair transplants, and he made natural brows of transplanted hair. Yes, you have to trim the hair, but it is certainly more natural looking than something drawn on. And yes, it was expensive, but I'd do it again. My advice to anyone who is thinking about permanent makeup--DON'T DO IT!!! I had to hide in my house for nearly two years because of repeated laser treatments and healing time.
December 6, 2014
I don't know what type of ink was used. But I did talk with many people, and in spite of numerous recommended ways (that don't work) as far as what I could find out, the only reliable way was an alexandrite laser. It did work for me--finally, though the ink darkened at first before it lightened. All the ink is a mixture of colors, and some pigments will fade, and others won't--leaving you with a bizarre shade of orange, pink, or green that can't be removed. I was lucky. But I have seen photos of women who were not and actually had to have their brow skin removed by a cosmetic surgeon to get rid of the horrible tattoo. That is an option, and then you could have hair transplants put over the scar. Mine were done by Dr. Baumann in Boca Raton, Florida. Wish I'd seen him first. Again, I would NEVER recommend any woman get permanent makeup! It is just such a absolute nightmare to remove if you don't like it.

Micka where are you? There is supposed to be someone here, that owns a school and teaches removal, I was going to do it and cancelled cause I'm scared of the white. I was thinking of going back and speaking to her about her thoughts on it.
I am not sure where you are, maybe if she is good she can help you and me!
December 15, 2014
Hi annonymous8643, if you are in NYC, could you tell me where is that school for removing perm makeup? I too am desperate to remove it and can't afford the high prices. Thanks so much! If you wish you can email me?:***email removed***
December 15, 2014
The Beau Institute in Mt. laurel NJ her name is Rose Marie and she is the owner and the teacher in the classes....
December 6, 2014
Micka, where do you live? There is someone here that owns a school and removes permanent makeup with that saline mixture, she has been doing it for a long time. I had appt. with her but cancelled cause I am unsure. I was thinking of going to speak to her on her opinion of turning White or scarring. If you are around here maybe she can help you too......
December 24, 2014
Please research those saline/salt mixture treatments there is another way the is a lady in Hawaii that created the dixion method in permanent makeup but..... she can explain how to cancel out the green base.... give your skin time to really real and there are other ways.. mine have faded and turned grey but are covered by hairs so I'm lucky I have also considered latiesse for by brows to make them fuller
