Can the PicoSure Laser remove eyebrow tattoos?

Unfortunately cosmetic tattooing is different in that they are pigments that are mixed into the color desired. The ink that is used in traditional tattoos is different. When hit with any laser the risk is that a different color will remain.  Such as green or blue or black.  

Thank you for your question. I do not recommend having laser removal of tattooed makeup. This is because most of the ink used for tattoo makeup is not the same as used on the body as they contain metals, such as iron. This can result in the tattoo turning a rusty brown or black color. It is always recommended to thoroughly research your physician before treatment. Best of Luck!

Cosmetic tattoos may turn dark in response to a laser treatment. Because of this, most providers will not treat permanent lip and eye color.However, since most eyebrow pigments is already quite dark or black in color, the risk of preforming a test spot is relatively low. At Hall Plastic Surgery in Austin, Texas we have successfully faded and removed black tattooed eyebrows utilizing the PicoSure Laser.  

The capacity to treat eyebrow and
eyeliner tattoo depends on the colour. Black and dark blue pigment responds well to any Q-Switched laser
thought the Picosure is likely to require less treatment sessions. If the tattooing is green or light blue,
then Picosure treatment is outstandingly successful. Our clinic has safely and
successfully treated many eyebrow and eyeliner tattoos.

On the other hand if the pigment
contains Iron or Titanium - red to flesh coloured tints or attempts have been
made over tattoo with flesh tint, then there is a high risk of blackening,
making laser treatment unsuitable.

Treatment of eyebrow
and eyeliner in particular requires actual treatment by a Doctor (medical
practitioner - ideally a specialist) who has been trained in the insertion of
internal eye shields and is experience in eyelid surgery.If the clinic does not have a suitably
trained and experienced individual, they are wise not to offer treatment of the
eye region.
