Where Can I Have my Permanent Lower Eyeliner Removed?

L
LadyOct 3, 2008

This is the second time I have had permanent eyeliner done. This time by a different person who put it on too thick and crooked. My one eye looks as if it droops. I went to another tech to correct it and she said it couldn't be done, but I should use (carefully) Retin A and/or Hydroquinone. I have been doing this for about three months. It has lightened, but the worst area where it droops, is still thick and noticable. Can you suggest a place where I can go and have it lasered off? Will I lose my eyelashes?

Hi! Wanting a tattoo removed quickly, especially when it didn't turn out as you hoped, is very common. Unfortunately, laser tattoo removal can’t be done on a fresh tattoo while the skin is still healing and the ink is settling in. Treating it too soon increases the risk of scarring, texture i...
