Effects of Eyebrow Tattoo Removal?

To remove the tattooing that has been done, you first need to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon who can best give you all of the appropriate options – whether in 2014 a Q-Switched laser is appropriate or whether one of the new Picosecond lasers are able to work well in these areas. Then you need to be very careful with the flesh tone tattoo – there is a chance of pigment darkening with these flesh colors because of a reaction that can occur with the laser light and the pigment itself. If this happens, it is much more difficult to remove. We recommend test spots here, but even with them, there is no guarantee this will not occur with subsequent treatments. Fractional lasers have shown some promise with this, and those of us with multiple laser modalities may recommend this for the flesh-colored areas.

Flesh tone tattoos will likely turn very dark when the standard tattoo removal lasers are used. I typically treat tattoos on the eyebrows that contain flesh tones with a series of very superficial fractional resurfacing procedures. Every situation is different but the hair usually returns.
