Is this redness after laser tattoo removal permanent? (Photo)

Question

I had done a saline removal about 3 weeks ago on the inner corners of my eyebrows, the scan came off and the skin was a little pink underneath. Then 2 days ago I did laser tattoo removal on the entire eyebrow and the part where the skin was pink turned blood red. Is this going to heal?

Thank you for your question in regards to tattoo removal. Redness should begin to subside within 2-4 weeks. Wait until you are completely healed before doing another treatment. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Yes, this can be removed with laser tattoo removal. It will take a series of treatments. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser tattoo removal expert. If it's new, you'll want to wait until it's competely healed (around 4-6 weeks) Best, Dr. Emer

The best thing is to do is to wait to see if you will heal back to normal skin tone. This kind of healing can take 8-12 weeks. Be patient and do not try to treat too soon. Scar tissue can start to form when if treated too soon in between any kind of treatments.

I am not a big fan of techniques other than lasers for tattoo removal because the laser is more controlled and predictable.I would wait for this area to settle  down before starting anything.
