FACEBOOK GROUP CREATED
WORTH IT
The group is titled "PMU Removal Support", and the cover photo will be of yellow roses. You will know it when you see it, but it's important that you search for it. I've made it so that it is completely private, and no one will be able to tell who is in the group unless you are a member yourself. Hopefully it will be an easier way for us all to communicate together. I don't love facebook like many of you, but we will do what we have to do!

Hi there,
It does work. It’s the most effective at home peel on the market. What I’ve been doing is literally slathering it on for a long as I can, then wash it off and put on thick moisturiser and mix that in with a small amount of anti inflammatory cream. Next day repeat and so forth until you say flakes. Use a spooly and brush eyebrows until flakes fall then put thick moisturiser with anti inflammatory cream again. Following day, repeat the process. They will fade. Mine are getting lighter every time I use it. I slap it on the rest of my face too to get good use of out it once a week.
This is a SLOW process but it is very effective and I recommend you guys try it. 140 GBP for a tub isn’t that bad. At this point it’s either yellow eyebrows or minus £140 from my bank account.

We need a collective group!
Hi guys. I am still active on here.
It’s pretty crazy the amount of emails, messages on here, and messages on any other social media platforms that I have spoken out on regarding this exact same issue that we have all been facing throughout the years: yellow.
How does everyone feel if I made a group on Facebook or something so that we can collectively all have a “yellow” group where we can share information we’ve gathered/learned/experienced? If no one responds to this, I won’t do it. I know it’s tough to put yourself out there but I feel like it’s the only way we will ever get real solutions or actual helpful input. Call it our safe space or something. I’m not a huge Facebook fan, but we can even be anonymous and create fake profiles or something. Just a suggestion or a thought. If anyone still reads this (which I know people do), please let me know your thoughts.

I’d love that. Especially since it took me forever to find this. Did you try the pico laser?
1. I like the idea of a group, but not keen on facebook. That's my two cents x
2. I've tried the pico laser, my phibrows had turned into grey blocks, it removed everything except the yellow ink :(

ugh. I have had 6 laser treatments and they are fluorescent mustard color. the aesthetician says the pico will work. i tried to tell her about this group, but she doesnt listen.
What do you mean when you say your phibrows?

Heya, so i had my microblading done by a phibrows technician, using phibrow ink. I haven't tried phi-removal as a few people have told me it causes scarring.
The laser removal I had done was originally a Picosure laser. I did a few of those, not sure how many but the red/yellow wasn't budging. I then went to a different laser guy and he tried a different kind of laser and cleared some of the red. Yellow still there, stubborn as ever.

thank you for clarifying. ugh..I had a lot of red, but the laser got rid of red, but now I have fluorescent mustard colored brows. I wasn't sure if the pico would take that away.
I guess it's worth a try, your ink might be different to mine.
I would be really keen for this!
Hi everyone,
I’m experiencing the same thing. I had phi brow microblading done 4 years ago. They turned horrible and I just wanted them off. Did picoway but have the yellow and I’ve tried everything I can to remove it. I mean if it never goes away I guess I’ve got to live with it but I wonder if there is truly anyway to rid myself of this once and for all

i had pico sure and other laser treatments and same thing. I am doing the phibrow removal next week. I saw pics of yellows being removed.
Wow can you please let me know how it goes?. I called them and they said due to lockdown in U.K. they can’t do anything. She also said yellow is the first shade to go, then red then black so she’s surprised it’s still yellow pigment. I thought everything I was doing was fading them, Until I bought one of those mirrors that shine the brightest ring light. My goodness they’re Illuminous.
Also how much is phi removal?

Hi there - I am not a big facebooker either but, I would be part of the group if you set it up. I saw a dermatologist a few months ago and her only advice was to get them re-done by someone better! urgh - no thank you!!

Public Service Announcement?
Disclaimer: I just want to say: you're welcome. (/sarcasm)
I have searched the depths of the freaking internet trying to find a solution to all of this nonsense. Literally hundreds of hours going through hashtags on instagram, joining weird tattoo removal groups on facebook... you name it.
I've made a discovery! ...Kind of.
Phiremoval Power Enzyme does not use any weaker percentage glycolic acid like I originally thought.
Turns out, it is composed of a BACTERIA - Bacillus subtilis, to be specific. This bacteria, when fermented, ("Bacilus ferment") yields a keratolytic activity (aka, eats your skin cells), thus, causing phagocytosis. I'm not going to get into a detailed biology lesson, but this is reassuring for a few reasons.
The procedure is intended to only cause erythema (redness) - it is not abrading the skin whatsoever. If there is any bleeding involved, it is being done incorrectly. Once the skin is red/inflamed, the bacteria is put on the skin for ten minutes. There is no need for any neutralizing agents or any other product... it's just washed off with soap and water. You can legit do this at home without risking integrity of the skin, assuming you have the bacteria/the actual phi power enzyme product. There are no words to describe my excitement; it's so good to have an option (even if it doesn't work, an option to at least try) that is noninvasive and won't cause scarring. This method is specifically used on carbon based inks (mine!), iron oxides and for people who are very prone to scarring, like me.
If anyone has providers nearby them (you can find out here: https://www.phi-academy.com/community/), I'd be interested in seeing their results with this method. If I had providers near me, I'd totally try it out.
Just a heads up to anyone still reading this. I haven't stopped researching and I'm determined to find a solution that is safe enough for us to use. I'm ready to get my natural eyebrows back, or at least, to get as much as the pigment out as possible, with skin integrity and safety still in mind.

Sounds promising! Where did you find this information? I would love to read up on it..
There doesn't seem to be anyone doing it in my area though.
I wonder would it be worth trying skincare products that contain bacillus subtilis/ferment?

I found this information by having joined a phiremoval facebook group (pretty sure it's supposed to be for technicians only). There's not much to read about in all honesty! I just read through people's comments. I can honestly say that I have no clue if and/or how it would work with skincare products. Realistically speaking, topical skincare cannot penetrate nearly as deeply as pigment is often implanted, so I'm surprised to see so many "topical" procedures that supposedly work/are being marketed. Same thing with Tattoo Remoov 88; these products really rely on erythema (but not bleeding) for them to work. It is so confusing to me. A technician I consulted with (she lives way far from me, in another state) told me that inevitably using any products that encourage cellular turnover (chemical peels, retinol, any actives) will continue to fade out my brows. I just have trouble believing it because of the way it is formulated. Lots of inks are more stable nowadays, so it's very hard to say.
Do you have an update on this. Would love to hear where you are at with your brow journey !
No update :(
Last week I got microdermabrasion and a chemical peel over my yellow eyebrows! I feel like it is a smidge lighter! I am going to continue to do this, and and also going to try microneedling!
wow. It has taken years to find this group of similar victims. 5 laser treatments and I have fluorescent yellow brows that cannot be hidden. Is there no positive answers or solutions?
I know its not ideal but when using concealer try one with purple undertones to cancel out the yellow. I wish I could offer you something better :(
so, has someone tried this phibrow thing and has it worked??
I’ve been searching and searching so I can get rid of this horrible yellow.
I found this : it’s called Mesoesthetic cosmelan. It gets rid of severe pigmentation. I put it on my whole face and a lot of my brows last night. They’re faded. Even my mum was shocked. Only one application. I’m gonna keep using it but wow! It’s not cheap but I’ll try anything at this point plus you can use on the rest of your face apparently it’s good for wrinkles too. Let me know if anyone else buys it and has effective results! https://www.facethefuture.co.uk/products/mesoestetic-cosmelan-2-depigmentation-cream?gclidEAIaIQobChMIw_CLpP-27wIVz-7tCh3L-A6mEAQYASABEgLqZfD_BwE
