Can you help fade the redness of my microbladed brow after laser tattoo removal? (Photo)

Question

I had one session of laser tattoo removal of my microbladed brow and it turned bright red. My microblade was done a year ago and wasn’t done correctly, so I wanted it removed. I was told about laser tattoo removal. It has been two weeks and the redness isn’t fading. I tried aloe Vera initially. My dermatologist gave me hydrocortisone then switched to triancinolone with moisturizer. I’m am taking Zyrtec as an antihistamine. Nothing is working to help it fade even a little and no one knows what to do. Please help.

This looks like the ink has turned red. It now needs to be treated as a red tattoo in areas which are red. These are typically very difficult to remove. I have the Pico Plus laser which is nano and picosecond and very powerful. The red is treated with 532nm wavelength and black is treated with the 1064nm.

I think the ink has turned red and I agree it will need to be treated with 532 nm and 1064 nm 
I would use q switch and pico-second wavelengths.
