Horrible brows

Thanks...I'd heard of the saline removal method but didn't know it had a name. Now I know. I never considered this as an solution for my brows and am pretty hopefully with the laser removal. Good luck!

What is the Tattoo Vanish technique? Is it the Kelo-cote that you mentioned above? Is it a laser?

My brows are much lighter than before, which was jet black. Now they are a taupe/light brown color, though the coloration is not quite even. I will get another treatment in six months. The plastic surgeon said most of the pigment should be dispersed with that second treatment. If the technician who implanted the pigment did not use excessive pigment and go too deep, the plastic surgeon said one treatment would have likely been sufficient. When I get the second treatment I will post again, and include photos of the progression.

Yes, Yag is the type of laser used. It took about ten minutes to "zap" both eyebrows. The pain was relatively mild...like rubberbands snapping on my skin, and there was minimal bleeding. After the process, ice packs were applied for 15 minutes and my eyebrows were bandaged for 24 hours. I had to apply anitbiotic ointment twice daily. Scabbing lasted about a week and there has been flaking of the skin since. It was an easy and nearly painless experience...well worth having these atrocious eyebrows removed from my face.

In August I had posted about my horrible eyebrow job which was done at the end of May, 2012. They were done too thick, unevenly and very black...not even close to the color I chose. Three weeks ago I had my first session of Yag laser removal, as this seemed like the only option that would help. It caused minimal discomfort and has healed quickly. So far I am thrilled with the results. The black has lightened to a taupe color and is a great improvement. The plastic surgeon who did the Yag session noted that the technician who did the pigment implantation used "way too much color and went too deep". (I suppose that explains my horrible outcome!) I will definitely need another Yag session to try to remove as much pigment as possible. Even if it does not entirely go away, I'm hoping it will be light enough that my natural eyebrow hairs will help to hide what is left. My only concern is that the technician made my eyebrows so thick that the pigment is above my natural eyebrow line. I fear I will have a "shadow" appearance if all the pigment isn't effectively removed. I'm hopeful and crossing my fingers! I will post again after my next Yag treatment in about six months.
