The laser either temporarily stripped the hair’s pigment, turning it white or/and occasionally oxidized the oil in the semipermanent tattoo ink, turning your eyebrows color rusty brown (these two temporarily side effects usually lasted for 7-10 days, easily concealed with make up). Depending o...
Although I don't currently have a pico laser, the same issues come up with the q switched lasers and fraxel restore. Firstly whenever there are fairly large areas of peeling skin, the laser needs to be turned down. Perhaps though the dryness began with your post laser peel? After laser...
