How can microblading/shaded eyebrow pigment be removed safely without scar over time? (Photo)

CMG78Aug 19, 2018
I have researched tons and have found conflicting info on the following microblading removal methods : Yag or Pico Laser - can laser actually remove "semi"permanent make up pigment? Some say yes, some say no? Is saline removal safe and effective? Research states saline removal does not scar but I have seen lots of posts stating red scarring does happen? Is there a menthod that is truly effective for removing eyebrow microblading / shading that is not too saturated, color is black/brown.
