Eyebrow tattoos can significantly change one's impression depending on their shape. Therefore, if you don't like the shape or trends change, you might consider having them removed. Since it's on your face, it's a part that causes a lot of concern. In this article, we've compiled information on how to choose a laser for eyebrow tattoo removal based on the pigment.

Eyebrows are a part that determines one's impression.

• Many people are dissatisfied with the shape they had tattooed.
• Trends change, and some people want to alter their existing shape.
• In the past, some people had thick, dark tattoos, which created a strong impression.

Tattoo removal equipment is evaluated based on two criteria.

1. Is the equipment safety-verified?
2. Is the equipment effective for tattoo removal?

PicoSure selectively targets pigments.

• It is equipment approved by the US FDA and the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
• It targets only pigments with a 755nm wavelength, minimizing damage to surrounding tissues.
• It breaks down pigments strongly and quickly with a short irradiation time.

Eyebrow tattoos come in various colors, making equipment selection important.

• Eyebrows often mix black, brown, and red colors, similar to hair color.
• PicoSure can be applied to various colors.
• Depending on the pigment, equipment such as Discovery Ruby may be considered together.

If you're curious about which combination is right for your eyebrow pigment, check by consulting for eyebrow tattoo removal.

These are frequently asked questions.

• Many people feel more pain when removing a tattoo than when getting it.
• PicoSure is reported to cause less pain than conventional equipment.
• It does not finish in one session, and the number of sessions varies depending on the pigment, area, and skin condition.

The same equipment does not guarantee the same results.

• We identify the type of pigment used.
• We consider the depth to which it entered the skin.
• We proceed meticulously, taking into account the individual's skin condition.

If you're curious about general tattoo removal, please also refer to PicoSure tattoo removal. As it is a facial area, it is important to create a plan suitable for the pigment.
