Eyebrow Laser Tattoo Removal
Here is what you need to know about removing an unwanted eyebrow tattoo.
How to remove permanent eyebrow tattoos (microblading, semi-permanent makeup, cosmetic tattoo)?
The most effective ways to remove facial tattoos are laser and non-laser tattoo removal methods.
Laser tattoo removal works by breaking pigment particles into much smaller fragments, which the body then removes naturally through the lymphatic system. With each session, the tattoo gradually fades and becomes lighter.
Non-laser tattoo removal involves using a tattoo machine and needle to introduce a saline, acid, or glycolic solution into the skin. This process helps lift the pigment from the dermis into the upper layers of the skin (epidermis), where it is removed through natural exfoliation during healing.
The choice between laser or non-laser removal depends mainly on the colour of the tattoo. Laser cannot effectively target yellow, green, beige, or white pigments. If the tattoo was applied very traumatically, if there is scar tissue, or if the pigment density is very high, non-laser removal can help speed up the fading process.
Both laser and non-laser tattoo removal techniques do not affect hair follicles, so there is no risk to hair growth. The treatment focuses only on removing or lightening the pigment in the skin.
However, laser can affect the colour of the brow hairs. To protect them, it is recommended to tint your brows with a regular brow/lash tint a few days before the laser treatment.
Brows can be tinted again after the laser session — there are no wounds or cuts, and makeup can be applied immediately after the treatment.
How does laser eyebrow tattoo removal work?
Using laser technology, we can lighten or remove an existing eyebrow tattoo, or correct unwanted colour tones — for example, turning blue into warm brown, or red into a soft grey-brown.
There are two laser wavelengths used for brow tattoos:
-
1064 nm targets blue, purple, and grey pigments
-
532 nm targets red, orange, and warm tones
During the treatment, laser energy disrupts the pigment’s structure, breaking the ink particles into tiny fragments that the body then naturally clears through the lymphatic system. Each session gradually fades and lightens the tattooed area.
Laser Colour Correction
Believe it or not — we can correct an old brow tattoo in as little as 5 minutes.
If colour is the main concern, laser correction can:
-
lighten the existing pigment
-
convert blue / grey brows into a warm brown
-
neutralise red / orange brows into a soft grey-brown
🧬 The final result depends entirely on the chemical composition of the pigment currently in your skin.
If you’ve been thinking about correcting your old brow tattoo for a while — it might be the right time now.
How much does laser eyebrow tattoo removal cost?
$150 per laser session, with the price potentially increasing depending on the size of the treated area.
The number of sessions required depends on the result you wish to achieve — full removal, partial removal, or colour correction:
Full removal: typically 6–8 sessions
Partial removal: usually 1–3 sessions
Colour correction: 1–2 sessions
