An eyebrow tattoo that isn’t all you imagined it to be, or a shape of a brow that is no longer fashionable that you wish to remove to be able to get a more natural one, is not a simple procedure, but can be done with the help of the newest laser technology. Eyebrow tattoo removal will not happen overnight or after one session of treatment. You will need some patience. What’s involved? Well here’s a very simple explanation of the procedure, which applies to the removal of permanent makeup as well as decorative tattoos.
The newest lasers do not act as a means to burn away the tattoo from the skin as is sometimes erroneously believed. Instead the steady stream of light or a pulsed light treatment acts to break up the ink particles within the dermis and allow for the skin to naturally eliminate the smaller particles over a period of time. It’s about cleansing the body and therefore this procedure may take weeks or months depending on several factors. What are these factors? One is the color and type of ink that has been used in the original eyebrow tattoo creation. The easiest inks are those that a single color or plain black. However, most eyebrows are brown or a blend of several inks or pigments and that is why they may be more difficult to remove than a decorative design done in black on an arm.
It is possible to have a tattoo lightened in certain areas and not others, and then have a cover-up tattoo placed over the same area. This is usually done with decorative designs where a name be inside a heart, for example, and where the name needs to be removed but the outer symbol remains. When it comes to an eyebrow area, it is possible to lighted the outer tip that may be the wrong shape while leaving the inner region, nearest the nose, intact as it may be camouflaged by the thicker natural hair growth in that area. Then, once the outer wispy tip is lightened, it’s possible to re-tattoo the brow to a more modern or shapely style.
If you would like to get eyebrow tattoo removal information you will have to go in person to a clinic that specializes in laser treatments. Why? Because the ink that has been used must be tested individually to determine the difficulty level of the removal operation, to know what amount will be lightened and what will remain and if it will be worth the cost and effort involved. There is no way to get this information on the internet or by phone. Please select a clinic that uses Q-switched lasers to get the best results.
Part of the difficulty in getting an eyebrow tattoo removed is the formidable cost. A single session can cost around $250 or more, and you will likely require anywhere between 5 and 10 treatments. Please be aware that some professional pigments used in permanent makeup can in fact turn darker when treated with lasers, so please have the ink tested prior to any treatments so the technician can advise you on the best course of action.
