Picosure Eyeliner Laser Removel - New York, NY

ORIGINAL POST

I had one treatment with piciosure laser in NYC....

eyeliner issues
$2,400
I had one treatment with piciosure laser in NYC. It took all the migration out of my eyelids. My eyelashes shortened and they said they should grow back normal. Some turned white. I bruised bad but today is day number 4 and I look good .... No so swollen anymore but O iced they hell out of my eyes for the last 4 days. I can see results but I need more treatments. I hope this helps some one. I was told no don't do laser ... Or you can't do that. From many people. I went from laser and I'm very happy I did but it was hard on me but no scars so far and I never tried saline. My eyeliner was 2 months old. My pics are before and after first laser treatment. On top is before. On application of ink. And after is bottom on laser treatment.

I can see why you were successful! Your eyeliner tattoo is only 2 months old. I think for older tattoos it is that no laser or other means can help, and at most they'll leave a shadow. So in the case of too high tattooed eyebrows, it will leave the shadow so when you re-tattoo it in the right place a bit lower....it wont look good at all. This is my problem with eyeliner AND eyebrows as I had them done over 20 years ago or more! :) I'm glad to know yours are disappearing gradually.

I actually heard that some old tattoos are easy to get rid of. Because your body has already been trying to rid the ink itself. I will keep posting results after more treatments. But not donating another until like sept.

Anyone reading this I found that Dr. Mune Gowda in Troy Michigan does this and also the Parker clinic in Ohio does this (Dr, Parker).

Much cheaper like 300 for one treatment.

Hi there! Would you be able to post a picture and let me know if there's further fading of the eyeliner tattoo? Thanks!
November 18, 2016
Hasn't faded much more. The "tattoo vainish worked better. But I would have to do many laser treatments to get this gone. I happy with it now but I got rid of the wings with tattoo vanish

What didn’t you like about the tattooed eyeliner? The results of removing it look good, but I can’t see what you disliked about it that made you want to get rid of it, as it looked fine to me.

EYELINER Treatment to Remove

eyeliner issues

I really like the doctor. He answered any question I had and we did the first treatment to remove my eyeliner. I have good result after on treatment. All my ink migration is gone...so I'm very happy about that. The eyeliner is thinner on top and the bottom looks about the same. The tails on my eyeliner are even now too. They are still there but look even. I need more treatments to actually get rid of them. I don't know how many more. It was painful and a lot of swelling but that was expected. My eyelashes thinned out but they hopefully will grow in normal. Some turned white. The picosure laser was used:) I'm happy I did it.

Still a month later my eyelashes are short and some are white. hard on lashes. But hopefully they grow normal. I'm taking Biotin. That should help.

Eyelashes are now back to normal on Aug 2nd 2016

Do you really want the rest of the eyeliner tattoo removed? I think your eyes look great now the line is thinner, it just adds definition to your eyes?
July 20, 2016
I really would like it removed because it should not of been tattooed on that inner wet area of the eye. It could create dry eye later in life and eye issues. I had that confirmed at the eye doctors. The top turned a bluish color and I never asked for wings. I never even drew my own wings on before I had this. So I just did tattoo vanish to the top eye liner. I'm all scabbed up but doesn't hurt just itchy from healing. I hope the top line get smaller and the wings come off. Them maybe I would like it. Over all the lack makes me look older and my eyes smaller. I would never recommend doing this. I should of got a lash enhancement that would of looked good.

Thanks for the update. I definitely see a difference in your top liner and so glad your eyelashes have grown out!

Are you going to do laser again or tattoo vanish?

I really regret my tattoo eyeliner as well- I didn't want a wing or thick and I have both! I have bottom tattooed eyeliner as well and it looks horrible. It looks smeared. I take out more time covering up this horrible makeup tattoo instead of it saving time.

Saline/Tattoo Vanish, tattoo removal for upper eyelids.

eyeliner issues
I just did a tattoo vanish to my upper eyelids. They scabbed up after one day and now I just can get them wet. They swelled like laser but only for 2 days. laser swelled for 2 weeks. But laser was quicker. then pain went on with tattoo vanish. But I will post pics when scabs fall off. Hopefully I see results. Much cheaper to. Only 250.00 for both upper eyelids. Bottom eyelids were tattooed in the wet area of eye so only laser can be used there. Dam it. Don't ever let someone tattoo the wet area of your eye. Its a health risk.

Was there any noticeable difference in the wetline after the laser?
September 19, 2016
Not very much on the wet line area. I got this done in june and today I feel it has lighted about 40-50 percent on the wet line. I only got one laser treatment done in NY but found that the parker clinic in Ohio does also do this with the picosure laser. Also one Dr. in Michigan to. I just am happier with the look now that it is lighter but it still took a couple months to lighten up.

Hi, would love an update from you -- have you noticed more fading? 

September 19, 2016
Yes it is more faded and looks better for how light I am. Now I like it. i did get rid of the wings completely using one treatment of tattoo vanish..... WITHOUT one scar!!!
September 19, 2016
wow I just looked at these photos of my eyes!!! they used to be really dark. I will try and get new pics up....I look way better and my ink migration is gone.
September 22, 2016
Please do! I'm so glad and excited you got rid of your wings!! I know what that's like, didn't ask for them either!
September 23, 2016
I have tattooed eyeliner too. I've been soo sad with the results and am looking into laser tattoo removal. The tattoo artist made my eyeliner too think. I asked for thin liner and no wing tip. I really hate looking in the mirror now. I'm glad you were able to have this procedure done. Did the picosure cause a lot of hair loss (top and bottom lashes?)
September 23, 2016
Tattoo Vanish worked better...Way better then the pico laser for me. Way cheaper to!!! The pico made my eyelashes really short. They are still a bit short now. They all turned White. try Tattoo vanish first!!!! Before laser. Just google people that use it in your area. The people that do laser say its the on method that works. people also say you could have scars with tattoo vanish. I have NONE from laser or tattoo vanish. I think laser was hard on my eyes. I swelled for weeks. Minor after the first week. I really lighted mine up with tattoo vanish and laser and now I'm happy with it.
September 23, 2016
That's awesome! Did you remove all of your eyeliner? Also, did you experience any eyelash loss? Temporary would be fine, I guess, but I'm scared about permanent damage!
November 17, 2016
Hi good evening! I have my eyebrows tattoed last april 2016. I regret it so much that everytime i see myself in the mirror i got anxiety attack. Thank god i'm fine now. I'm doing saline removal. This december it's gonna be my fourth and hope it's my last.
November 18, 2016
That's great! I did my first laser round and limited it to my wings and lower eyeliner It hurt A LOT but the results are worth it! Hope it's your last appointment, good luck! Keep us updated :)
November 18, 2016
Hi Mathea! How was the saline removal healing process (did you take any time off work, was there a lot of scanning)? I'm desperate to have my tattoo eyeliner removed and contemplating whether I should laser or saline removal. I don't have any more time off from work. Thanks
November 18, 2016
I meant to type "scabbing" not scanning. Darn spell check
November 18, 2016
I know you're asking about the saline removal, but still commenting because I recently had my first laser session, and thought it may be useful. My appointment was around 2 weeks ago, using Picosure technology. It hurt a lot, but the results have proved worthy. So, I'll be going back in 3 months or so. I recommend doing laser if you can find a reputable dermatologist who does eyeliner tattoo removal. Didn't have to take time off work except for the day of (I made the appointment as late as available). My eyes were swollen the next day, but not terribly so, I was able to go to work. Hope this helps.
November 19, 2016
@ellej7 i hope so too. Thank you. Good luck also to your eyeliner removal
November 19, 2016
Hello @gford868 mine is eyebrows. I don't need to take an off for healing period. It's very easy for me to cover up since i have a bangs. I'm asian so i have black hair so the scabbing is not too visible lol. Hope whatever removal you decide will work good.
