What to do with my eyebrow tattoo that turned rustic red after 1 RevLite treatment? (Photo)

hhannahh88Jul 22, 2018
I tried to erase a part of my tattooed brow. But after 1 treatment it turned darker (rustic red). The physician that did it said it oxidize and should wait 5-10 months before it could be treated again. I’m afraid that this could be forever or may turned darker or changes in color when i make them lasered it again. Could you suggest what is the best option for me? and does it take that long for it to be treated again? I hope somebody could help me.

Hyperpigmentation can be improved with a combination of Cosmelan, lasers, Aerolase, microneedling/prp, skin lightening, peels, and skin care. Sun protection is essential. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your picture and question. Any time an odor occurs after a laser procedure we suggest having a follow up appointment with the provider that treated you. Just a precaution to make sure no infection is setting up and that you are healing properly.
