Eyebrow Tattoo Removal in Daegu: Can PicoSure Pro Treat Permanent Makeup?

Can I decide on the same description as the tattoo on my body?

For eyebrow tattoos, cases with a history of shape modification, color correction, and repeated retouching must be distinguished during consultation. Rather than simply conveying your current appearance, “My eyebrows are brown,” please explain when and for what purpose you had the additional procedure done. It is helpful to indicate on the photo whether the treatment area you want to erase is the tail of the eyebrow or the entire eyebrow.

Confirming whether you use PicoSure Pro or not and planning to apply it to your cosmetic tattoo are two separate steps. When making your appointment, make it clear that this is a cosmetic tattoo consultation around the eyes. If you are inquiring about eyeliner or lip cosmetic tattoos, it is better to explain the treatment area separately rather than assuming that the same plan is possible for eyebrows.

Can it get darker after receiving the laser?

Paradoxical darkening of cosmetic tattoos is the phenomenon in which the color darkens unexpectedly after the laser. Five case reports from 1993 demonstrate this response and illustrate the need for laser test spot. With this data, it is not possible to calculate the current incidence with PicoSure Pro or to say that all cosmetic tattoos cause the same reaction.

The important thing is to ask about the possibility of paradoxical darkening at the consultation stage and discuss whether there is a need to check for small treatment area reactions first. If you have a history of covering it with bright colors, be sure to pass it on. Since it is impossible to know all the pigments used in the past just by looking at the colors that are currently visible, it is more accurate to explain that you do not know what you do not know.

What materials should I prepare before the consultation?

Write down in order the date of your first treatment, number of retouches, when your appearance was changed, and whether or not you previously removed it. If you can obtain information on the pigment used at the time, bring it with you. If not, prepare a photo at the time to make it easier to explain the process. It is a good idea to mark approximate times when your memory is unclear.

Divide your current discomfort into colors and shapes. The question depends on whether you don't like the red color remaining, whether the tail looks long, or whether you are bothered by the difference in shape between the two sides. Rather than researching and determining the type of ink on your own before the medical staff confirms it, focus on clearly communicating the desired changes and actual history.

What should I check if I do a laser test spot?

Receive an explanation of the treatment area, changes to be observed, and a date to check again. Treating a small treatment area does not guarantee the same results as the entire treatment. It is important to understand what the purpose of the test is and what reactions may cause you to change your plans.

During the observation period, it is a good idea to check when to take pictures and make-up and face-washing instructions. Rather than proceeding with the scheduled episode without checking progress, check whether the plan includes time to review actual reactions. It is easier to understand subsequent estimates if you check in advance whether the cost of testing is included in the total treatment cost.

If the color has darkened, is there any other way?

In 2016, there was a report of two cases with paradoxical darkening treated with a 532/1064nm picosecond laser. This shows that a follow-up approach was possible in some situations, but is not proof that the 755nm PicoSure Pro will produce the same results. Nor can we promise to resolve all paradoxical darkenings with just two cases.

If the color has already darkened elsewhere, please bring treatment dates, records of equipment used, and before and after photos. Rather than asking to repeat the same procedure right away, it is better to evaluate your current color and skin condition and have your next options explained to you. Your previous records will be an important resource when discussing your new plan.

If I want to apply cosmetic tattoo again after removal, how do I get advice?

If you're planning a new eyebrow design, communicate that goal from the beginning. The target range is different when you want complete removal and when you want to lighten only specific areas. Rather than confirming a new procedure date first, it is best to allow time to check the condition of your skin after removal and discuss next plans.

You should check with your health care provider about the protection needed and the extent of application for treatment around the eyes. If you have work that requires you to cover up with makeup, please let us know about that schedule as well. It is easier to differentiate between removal and re-treatment plans if you are explained by the criteria for evaluating recovery and residual color rather than a standard date of “when can I get it back.”
