Question:
I’ve had 4 treatments done to remove my permanent eyelbrow makeup color.
They turned darker in color and i’m wondering how many treatments are needed to see improvemt if any. I am deeply concerned. I would greatly appreciate you input.
Answer:
Generally several treatments are required for tattoo removal.
Usually 10 to 20 sessions may be required to completely remove a
professional tattoo. Fewer sessions are required for amateur tattoos or
to just fade a tattoo rather than remove it.
Cosmetic tattoos can sometimes oxidise and darken with laser treatment. This is more common with lip liner tattoos. However, it is most likely that further treatments will continue to reduce your cosmetic eyebrow tattooing.
