Will Fraxel damage my micro-bladed eyebrows?

Question

I am having fraxel and excel V laser treatments done on my face for sun damage and rosacea. If I get my eyebrows microbladed will the lasers damage the color?

Your question underlines why it is so important to take your time to find a board-certified dermatologist who has expertise in resurfacing the face with Fraxel. A skilled professional will be able to resurface your entire face without affecting the eyebrows at all. You must alert him or her, however, to the fact that your eyebrows were tattooed. Be sure to find a board-certified dermatologist who can help you improve your skin while maintaining the quality of your microbladed brows.

Fraxel can be used in the vicinity of a tattoo or micro blading, but not on top of it as it may disrupt the continuity of the pigment in your skin.  The area will just not be treated, but the rest of the face should not be a problem. Good luck with your treatments.

Steven F. Weiner, MD · Answer

If the laser were to treat the brows by mistake, there could be an issue with the skin/brow in this area. A proficient laser provider can steer clear of this area and there shouldn't be any side effects on the microbladed brows.
