Tattoos adorning the arms, legs, or torso are generally easier to conceal should the need arise. However, facial tattoos pose a significant challenge in concealment due to their visibility. Cosmetic tattoos, like those done on eyebrows, are intended to enhance facial features. Nonetheless, there’s always the potential for outcomes that don’t meet expectations or for the ink to fade over time, which can alter the intended appearance. Moreover, it’s important to consider the evolving nature of cosmetic trends, with eyebrow styles being a notable example of such changes.
Similar to body tattoos, the removal of eyebrow and other cosmetic tattoos is feasible through the use of advanced laser treatments. Our Melbourne CBD clinic employs the Pico laser to precisely, safely, and effectively eliminate or lighten undesired eyebrow or cosmetic tattoos.
Is Removal of Eyebrow Tattoos Possible?
Indeed, it is.
Eyebrows serve as a significant facial feature, and eyebrow tattoos that are less than perfect can negatively impact one’s look and self-esteem. Fortunately, with the advent of advanced technology, settling for unsatisfactory cosmetic tattoos is no longer necessary.
In Melbourne, the popularity of cosmetic tattoos is increasing, alongside the number of individuals dissatisfied with their outcomes. Common complaints among clients include:
- Ink color changes or fading to green
- Browse appearing too light or too dense
- Inappropriate shape
- Incorrect placement
Number of Sessions Required for Removal?
The complete removal of a cosmetic tattoo generally requires 3 to 10 sessions, depending on the tattoo’s size, the original ink’s colour, and the type of ink used.
The outcome also hinges on the individual’s immune and health status. The efficiency of the removal process depends significantly on a functional lymphatic system to assist the body in eliminating the fragmented ink particles.
Differences Between Cosmetic Tattoos and Regular Tattoos?
Cosmetic tattoos use pigments designed to be less intense and more transient than those used in traditional body tattoos. These pigments often contain iron oxides and are suspended in a carrier solution like glycerin or water, allowing for adjustments in shape and colour over time as they are meant to fade.
Procedure for Removing Eyebrow Tattoos
The procedure for eyebrow tattoo removal mirrors that of standard tattoo removal. It involves the use of a laser that emits brief pulses of light energy targeting the tattoo. The ink particles absorb the laser’s wavelengths, causing the ink to shatter. These particles are progressively broken down with successive treatments until they are entirely removed.
How Does the Process of Removing Eyebrow Tattoos Work?
The technique for eliminating eyebrow tattoos is akin to the approach used for general tattoo removal. In this process, a laser emits brief pulses of light energy onto the eyebrow or cosmetic tattoo. The ink particles within your skin absorb the laser’s wavelengths, causing the ink to break apart. The ink particles are further fragmented with each subsequent treatment until they are completely eradicated.
Is Partial Removal of an Eyebrow Tattoo Feasible?
Thanks to our state-of-the-art laser technology, removing a specific section of an eyebrow tattoo removal or any cosmetic tattoo is possible. The Discovery Pico laser is designed for precision treatments, allowing for targeted modifications. Removing just a portion of an eyebrow tattoo can typically be achieved in as few as 2-3 sessions.
