Fractionated CO2 laser to help fade residual eyebrow permanent makeup (titanium dioxide) - will this work to fade? (Photos)

yellowbrowsDec 1, 2025
I have had many laser removal sessions (picoway, picoplus, enlighten cutera) to remove eyebrow permanent makeup pigment and now have residual pale yellow/taupe pigment that is likely residual titanium dioxide. Could I get fractionated co2 laser treatments over the eyebrow area to help fade this stubborn pigment further as it doesn’t seem to be responding anymore to picosecond tattoo removal? Would the fractionated co2 damage eyebrow follicles?

Full face and neck CO2 resurfacing stimulates collagen over months, not days. Best quality results depend on complete healing, stable pigmentation and a skincare plan that often uses products or medications you would avoid when trying to conceive.

CO2 laser resurfacing is the gold standard for acne scar treatment and would recommend finding a dermatologist or plastic surgeon comfortable with that procedure
