Eyebrow Tattoo Removal - Brazil, BR

WORTH IT$500

I've had a permant tattoo makeup in my eyebrows 3 months ago and I hated it! It was too dark, black, and uneven. I don't know why I did it, my eyebrows were perfect, I thought it would help me.

I got so depressed and started looking for solutions (I also started going to therapy!!).

I started laser treatment for removal. I live in Brazil and my dermatologist said he uses q switched Nd-YAG laser. He's a very good dermatologist and here the laser price is around 150$ each session.

I had one trial laser session in one spot one month ago, and last Wednesday (6 days ago) I had full brows laserd off. I still have more sessions ahead, but I'm feeling so much better now it's faded a little.

It's been a nightmare!!!

Sorry my English is not very good, I just wanted to share my experience with girls that are also unsatisfied with their eyebrow tattoos..

Thank you for sharing your experience. After the eyebrow hair goes white does it fall out and grow back?

My eyebrow hair is still white, more than a week after the laser. I didn't notice any loss. I see its growing back black. The same hair is two colored, the newer part is black. By now some hairs are half black half white.

Hi there, thank you for your review I find very helpful.
did the laser burned you hair? does it remove the hair off your eye brows? did you hair grew back? I want to remove my eyebrow permanent make up but afraid will have no hair at all after that. and your English is very good!!

No, my eyebrow hair did not burn. It looked like my skin was burned but the hair was still there. You just have to be very careful when washing your face and not touching much the eyebrows...
it has been about 5 months and it looks like all my hair grew back normally... I remember that after 2 months my eyebrows looked "normal" again, with normal skin and hair

Can you update on how many sessions you've done and how it looks at this point? I am wanting start laser removal for mine but I am so worried because I didn't have much eyebrow hair to begin with (which is why I went to get the tattoo in the first place...but hate it) so the hair won't help conceal the healing process going on after each treatment. Were you able to use eyebrow powder to help cover up the redness during the healing stage?

Yes I had to use eyebrow powder, I have a lot of eyebrow hair but they get white so I had to use makeup for a month or so

My doctor said for me not to use makeup for at least 4 days, after this period I had to use eyebrow powder in order not to look creepy!
The healing process is emotionally painful, but the good thing is that it's temporary and it's worth it!
I just had 2 sessions about 7 months ago...
With 2 sessions almost all ink has gone...
I waited this 7 months because they look so natural already and they don't bother me anymore as they did... I posted an update check it out...
I'll see my doctor and maybe do another session I don't know...
Good luck

Hi Melissa,
how are your eyebrows now?
do you know if your ink contained iron oxide and was it a black they used or dark brown? I just got mine done and they are so uneven and they are two different eyebrows!!! I'm absolutely depressed. The artist used a brunette brown pigment on my skin though it looks more of a black shade. I am going through a nightmare as well! I have booked in to see a doctor to see about laser, but I'm thinking maybe getting surgically removed. i only need a few little strokes taken off.

Second laser session one week after

I've done a second laser session just one week after the first one. Now I'm worried I didn't wait long enough. I hope I don't have any permanent side effect. It's so red and there's bleeding.

Thank you for sharing. I had the same question as the previous comment. Does the brow hair fall off and grow back after it goes white?

I didn't notice any hair loss. I see the hair is growing back black again. Some hairs are half black half white. Like head hair when colored and growing back the natural color.
