PicoWay laser brow removal

After believing and trusting the last removal person for my botched PMU and seeing how there is so much more damage and scaring done; I have finally had a 1st session of laser removal of my brows. I should have just had this done on the get go instead of being scarred off from laser after my first botched job. Anyways it's been a horrid journey I hope will be over soon.

So details of my laser removal today it done fast I will need more treatments area is very swollen and some parts bruised. Done with 1064mn wave length and again with PicoWay as the medlite made my test spots go dark. It was about 2 months of test spots with different lasers before going ahead with the pico.

from bad to nightmare hell

I don't have any great news to share except that this is hell.
I can't believe it. Thinking that her burn technique was the was to go. Don't be scared to try laser first!
Current state; right brow still have ink, perm damaged follicles on top arch, hyperpigmentation and Atrophic scar. left brow still inked and darker, 4 hypertrophic scars on the brows, perm damaged follicles in brows and arch, hyperpigmentation and hypopigmention.
Right now only using silicone gel applied x2 day. Been to multiple laser surgeons most gave me the same story. However, Dr Boey has been kind and honest. (We are doing baby steps) but the light Does not look Bright!
Do not touch your natural beauty and if you must DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!!

Now it's come down to Laser permanent makeup removal

After countless removals with the burn technique by Tammy at Elan beauty and going through so many ups and downs since the original botch job done to me in March 2015; I can now state that I am a bigger stupid idiot then EVER and have more damage and scarring done to me then needed! I have had multiple removal sessions with the burn off stating that there would be unnoticeable damage and scarring however it looks to be false. I was so emotional about the botch and determined to have it removed that I made even more poor choices and people took advantage of me bc I was in huge dispair. I foolishly fell for more. To add to this is I have never ever really thought of having PMU at all and to all honestynifnindod I would have researched and stayed far from it. I know this is true. But it was all bc of one day and trusting a dear friend that I made this mistake she kind of washed my brain (we are no longer friends sadly). So I have scars now and still have original ink on top of more ink (Tammy did not tell me she was going to re-ink me) that really upset me bc I wanted to have it removed! So now I have ink that is original (brunette from Bio-touch Colour) and this blue/greyish black on top of it. I HATE what happened! -So break down 1st botch was from friend at 2nd look spa certified at BIO-touch VANCOUVER -2nd botch for removal burn technique and them applied some more damn it is Elan beauty With the burn it was only good to have that applied to the botched liner winges but not the whole liner bc of lashes and not for such a big area like the brows. I ended up loosing a line of hair follicles on my right brow and multiple cluster areas on my left brow bc she was over burning and trying to correct her botch job she did from her reapply ink. So I look pretty F#%^* ugly now!! Really and it's not in my head. This is a huge rant! On feb 1 after looking at my pathetic face I went to see Dr. Boey cosmetic laser surgeon to look at my botch job and my burn scars and burned damage to see what to do...I got an earful of information and had another break down 6th one of the week and this was also in his office. Since the 1st botch I should have just went to him and skipped the burn work. He possibly could have saved my sanity. He did 3 test patches and I have an appointment for removal on my bday. Nice damn bday present huh?!! Gosh no bc I am scared as [RS bleep]! He first needs to check the 3 test patches again to see if we go ahead or not. I'm scared bc of multiple reasons! 1: if this doesn't work then I just basically made this even worse it can be black, ghost l, oxidize l basically everything that scarred me away from laser first and into burn. 2: I could loose all my hairs as I have very very fine hairs 3: my skin can change to this weird texture 4: im angry bc if this does work if I had done it earlier I could have saved myself all the pain and scarring and damage I have now and the damn f-ing extra ink I have now that can take more sessions to remove. 5: could have saved me from so much roller coaster of feelings. Even writing this I am pulled in emotions of anger and depression and I have rain fall of tears thinking of everything that has happened in the near last year. Hardest part the affects it did on 2 very small important people in my life. I'm traumatized severely and I lost track and delusionally trick by this and forgetting natural is 100% best! Fingers crossed and Feb 15 2016 I will have the best news to share.

Very disappointed in Tammy. (Disregard my previous rating of her) Elan beauty scarred me & damaged me more than original botch job! Now seeing a cosmetic laser surgeon the stars and rating below are for Dr. Boey
