The Role of Cosmetic Surgery in Tattoo Removal

Unthink Inc • October 4, 2023

Eyebrow tattoos have become increasingly popular in recent years, providing people with a semi-permanent solution for shaping, thickening, and coloring their eyebrows. The benefits are amazing. With any cosmetic procedure, there are factors to be aware of when considering eyebrow tattoo removal. In this blog post, we will explore these potential risks and provide tips for finding a professional who can safely remove or fade your eyebrow tattoos.


What is an Eyebrow Tattoo?

An eyebrow tattoo is essentially a form of semi-permanent makeup that uses pigmentation to add color and definition to your brows. The superficial tattoo done by using a blade rather than repetitive needle strokes will also give the illusion of fuller eyebrows if your brows are sparse. The results can range from subtle to dramatic depending on the color and amount of ink applied.


While many people love the look of their new eyebrow tattoos after microblading, others may want to eventually remove them or change their shape or color. This is when it's important to know about the potential risks associated with eyebrow tattoo removal.


Potential Risks Of Eyebrow Tattoo Removal

PicoWay laser treatments are the safest most comfortable and most effective laser treatments available. 


Clients can expect redness and some swelling from the laser interacting with your unwanted ink. Cold air from a Zimmer cryocooler is used to help with the sensation of the laser on your brows. A custom hands-free ice pack will be provided with the treatment cost. A layer of vitamin E ointment is also applied after your treatment as an anti-inflammatory and to help your skin heal faster. 


The laser may cause redness and abrasions to your skin. Infection is a concern so Jim will inform you about keeping the treated area clean and hands-free. Also, makeup should be avoided on your brows for 48 hours. 

The pigment is applied by hand and, therefore, differences in saturation may be seen. The laser works uniformly to remove a layer of ink from your skin. Some darker areas may need a follow-up treatment.
