Oxidized eyebrow tattoo removal. Color is reddish brown

Question

Greetings! I am looking for a specialist/dermatologist who has confidence working on the issue. NYC/Brooklyn NY Thank you!

Norman N. Bein, MD, FACS, RVT · Answer

Unfortunately laser isn't an option for this.  The inks used in cosmetic tattoos usually have iron oxides which can change with time but will also turn orange/brown with laser removal.  Some options are to see if you can find someone to tattoo in a flesh tone or a dermatologist who can prescribe hydroquinone to try to lighten it.  You may want to call around or get a couple of opinions from a clinic with experience.

I believe once the ink has oxidized and is a reddish brown color on your eyebrow, there is no laser that will work. i try and avoid treating eyebrows because of that problem. you can consider tattooing over it to try and hide it but that is also somewhat challenging to do.david berman md
