Is saline tattoo removal the best option for me for removal of my semi-permanent eyebrows? Will it scar? (photo)

Question

Will I still have my own eyebrows after the procedure? How many sessions will be needed?

Jennifer Mundt, NMD · Answer

Hello, thank you so much for sharing a photo! Salabrasion (salt solution tattoo removal) worries me very much for a couple of reasons. First of all you cannot get the area wet for 2-3 weeks after you do a treatment. This is very difficult on your face. Also, because they need to put the salt solution so deeply into your skin so it scabs off I worry about scar tissue and hair loss due to those scars. I would much rather recommend laser tattoo removal with a Picosecond laser like the PicoWay. It will take 2-several treatments, but so worth it compared to scar tissue.

Thanks for your question and posting a picture.  The saline tattoo removal people say it's a natural method.  There is NOTHING natural about rubbing salt into a wound.  It will then scab and fall off...We have treated dozens and dozens eyebrow tattoos with the PicoSure laser.  We usually remove them in 1-2 treatments.  Sometimes the eyebrows are TEMPORARILY burned off or changed to a FUNKY color.  The laser used is not the correct wavelength for LHR.  The laser should not stir up your Rosacea.  Make sure you they are using a picosecond (PicoSure, Enlighten, PicoWay...) laser to minimize complications.  I hope this helps.
