Does PicoWay laser make eyebrows fall permanently?

Question

Good morning. I'm a 30-year-old guy who decided to have his eyebrow tattoo removed. So far I've undergone ten picoway sessions and, in a month, I'll have my last one. Although I got pretty good results ( not extraordinary), I noticed that my eyebrows started to lose hair and now I have some blank areas that look really unsightly.Will my eyebrow ever get back to normal? Will my hairs grow again in the treated areas? Thank you.

Pico way does not remove hair as it does not heat the hair follicle enough.  That being said if you had tattoo removal with pico technology in this area and the hair is decreased, it may have been stunned but the laser and take a while to return.  Hair is in different cycles of growth and yours might not be in an active growth phase at present.

No, PicoWay will not permanently remove eyebrows.  The pulse duration is too short to kill the hair follicles.  Sometimes eyebrows are slow to grow back after any treatment and often fall out naturally and do not regrow.
