Is it possible my eyebrow hair follicles have been damaged after laser tattoo removal for semi-permanent makeup?

Question

I’m 35 year-old female receiving laser tattoo removal treatments on my eyebrows for semi-permanent make-up (microblading). I’ve had 7 treatments so far using the Spectra and Pico lasers resulting in some unwanted hair loss. I’m concerned because it’s been a few months with seemingly slow growth and visible gaps & sparse areas. Is this temporary? Is there a possibility that hair follicles were damaged and have been destroyed following the several treatments? I pray it’s only a matter of time.

Would have loved to see your photos.
I have been offering microblading removal for the last 7 years and the average amount of sessions to completely and safely remove microblading pigment is between 2-4 sessions. Super rarely up to 6.We have ZERO hair loss or damaged follicles reported in 7 years so I am very upset to hear it in your case. You had two lasers done, Q switch lasers have been known to cause more damage than Pico, so at this time it is hard to tell exactly if that's the cause of your missing hairs were there prior to the pigment being removed and once the pigment disappeared , it just revealed a missing hair follicle.
Your options are:Exosome injection for eyebrowsPRP injections for eyebrowsTopical rogaine for eyebrowsEyelash growth serums to apply on eyebrowsCastor oil/Almond oil for eyebrowsEyebrow hair transplant
More detailed options can be provided over virtual or in person consultation.
