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.

I would recommend that you consider a picosecond machine. We use enlighten 1064 and Fotona q switch machines. We also use picosure as well. It will take multiple treatments and it will need a formal assessment first.
