I had my eyebrows tattooed today and I am not happy with the result. Can I have it removed and how long do I have to wait? Can I then re-tattoo over the area again?
Answer: Yes, permanent tattooed eyebrows can be fixed! Using a Q-Switch laser, you can greatly fade and remove tattoos or permanently tattooed eyebrows. Depending on the color and depth of the tattoo, most patients have at least 8 treatments, with each one being 6 weeks apart.

Answer: Permanent tattoo on eyebrows can be removed Dear Norma5216, I'm sorry to hear you are not happy with your new eyebrows. The good news is that there are Lasers that can remove the pigment. You will need to wait a minimum of 6-8 weeks for the skin to be fully healed. Book a consultation with a medical practitioner and they should be able to tell you approximately how many sessions you will need. Wishing you all the best

Answer: Unwanted Tattoo? The Q-switched YAG laser is ideal for removing unwanted tattos although it may take 3 to 6 sessions to get a satisfactory clearance. If the power is chosen well, there is very low risk of scarring. I will wait at least 2 months between sessions to allow the skin to recover before the next laser treatment. A word of caution regarding cosmetic makeup errors that have been covered up by subsequent tattoos of different colors. The laser may bring out new funny colors that may be hard to camoflage. Finally, the Q-switched YAG does not have satisfactory results with sky blue or green pigmented tattoos.

Answer: Permanent makeup problems Thanks for your question - Laser, dermabrasion or excision can help to fix permanent makeup that you don't like. Be sure to give the tattooing adequate time to heal (probably about 3 months) and find a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to help. Good luck!

Answer: You Can Remove Eyebrows - Depending on Color of Ink Hello, You can remove cosmetic eyebrow ink depending on the color. Black ink is always the easiest to remove as even in cosmetic ink which can use different ingredients. So, if you have a light brown color it may oxidize and turn darker gray which is usually irreversible. If your color is black with red/orange/yellow mixed in with it then we need to remove the black first, then red second. An experienced tattoo removal physician should be able to recognize whether or not your ink has the oxidizable colors. Also, doing a test spot is a great way to start so we know whether or not to keep going.
