Semi-permanent makeup on eyebrows: laser removal?

Tattoo Removal is tough on the eyebrows as it typically takes many treatments.  There is alternative treatment options with the Eclipse Micropen which reverses the tattoo removal process. I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in removing tattoos and evaluating this area.  Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question. Removing permanent makeup can be very challenging. This is because the ink that are typically used have a metallic dye component. It is best to ask the technician who performed your treatment what type of ink was used. Then I would take that information with you to your consultation appointment. This will help assist your physician in determine the best treatment plan for you. Best of Luck!

removing eyebrow tattoos is tricky. These can darken before they go away. Also the type of ink used can be different and more difficult to remove. Accurate can cause scarring and impairs wound healing. Do not do it any sooner. Often times, people are advised to wait 6 months so that they do not develop scarring or problems while on or exposed to accurate. 

I make my patients wait a minimum of 6 months before laser tattoo removal and honestly most I have wait a year.  Accutaine makes you much more prone to adverse reactions burns scars etc and this is your face we are talking about. 

Second A photo would be good I always spot test cosmetic ink like brows because there are substances in that ink that can oxidize with the laser and turn color. Black is much less likely to do this but reds, oranges some browns become a darker color and hard to remove. Test the small corner with a single laser pop and see if it changes. It will change very quickly if there is going to be a bad reaction.

Thank you for your question.  Permanent makeup can be challenging to remove as the types of ink that are typically used are not compatible with laser treatments (many have a metallic dye component).  I recommend you ask the technician that applied the eyebrows specifically what type of ink was used (ask for a copy of the ingredient label) and take that information with you to your consultation appointments to assist the physician or clinician in determining the best course of treatment.  All the best to you!
