What can I do after orange eyebrows became black after 1 treatment?

Question

I had my first laser treatment yesterday (laser enlighten) and my eyebrows immediately turned black :-( What are my options now? Permanent make up eyebrows turned red/orange after 1 year. Yesterday I had my first laser treatment (laser enlighten) and my eyebrows immediately turned black. I found the explanation on the internet today (oxidation). My question is if my now black eyebrows can be treated again by laser (this time at 1064 instead of 532) and if I still can have hope? I have a very ligh skin and blond hair with a red undertone. So horrible to have black eyebrows. Thanks in advance!

The laser either temporarily stripped the hair’s pigment, turning it white or/and occasionally oxidized the oil in the semipermanent tattoo ink, turning your eyebrows color rusty brown (these two temporarily side effects usually lasted for 7-10 days, easily concealed with make up). Depending on the type of ink and saturation, it usually requires an average 3 treatments with our PICO laser technology to remove eyebrows tattoo.  1064 is best for black and grey ink and 532 is best for red orange yellow.  With your fair complexion either 1064 or 532 would be fine.
