Best laser option to remove red ink in eyebrows? (photo)

Question

I did ombré powder in my eyebrows and was horrified with the result, I tried phiremoval and 2 months after had my 1st laser removal, the ink reacted and became red/orange, can you please advice if is gonna get better after the second laser removal? I have read that red ink is the most difficult to remove...What’s the best type of laser in my case?

Typically when removing micro bladed eyebrows you can experience oxidization, where black/brown ink can heal appearing a reddish/brown color. Once oxidization occurs the technician will change the wavelength of the laser to the appropriate setting that will remove the remaining color.

Thanks for your question and posting pictures.  We have treated dozens and dozens eyebrow tattoos with the PicoSure laser.  We usually remove them in 1-2 treatments.  Sometimes the eyebrows are TEMPORARILY burned off or changed to a FUNKY color.  Don't worry, the laser used is not the correct wavelength for LHR.  Make sure you they are using a picosecond (PicoSure, Enlighten, PicoWay...) laser to minimize complications.  If the red does not clear up after the second treatment, find a pico with 532nm.  I hope this helps
