Laser Eyebrow Removal

How Does Laser Eyebrow Removal Work?

Laser beams are forms of light energy. If you wait under the sun for a while wearing dark-colored clothes, you may notice that both the clothing and your skin get warm. This is because dark-colored pigments absorb light and convert it into heat. A similar principle applies to lasers. Dark-colored pigments can absorb laser light, convert it into heat and sound, cause vaporization, break down pigments, and fade colors. Laser beams used to eliminate pigments can pass through the skin without causing damage, reaching the pigment inside the skin. The eyebrow pigment can absorb laser light, converting the energy in light into heat and sound. Consequently, with the energy released, the larger pigment particles within the skin can be fragmented into smaller ones, making it easier for the body’s immune system to absorb them.

Can All Eyebrows be Removed?

Most eyebrows can be removed, but complete removal is not always guaranteed. Eyebrow removal lasers are produced using the latest technology, and they can remove many main colors found in the skin. However, due to the combination of colors present, certain combinations may not be completely removed by lasers. Therefore, it is recommended to warn those who have undergone permanent makeup for their eyebrows about the possibility of wanting to remove it in the future and advise them not to use a combination of colors when getting their permanent makeup done.

How are the Sessions Scheduled for Eyebrow Removal?

The intervals between eyebrow removal sessions are usually 6-8 weeks. After laser tattoo removal treatment, any scabbing on the skin may heal within 3-4 days. While the skin’s surface may return to normal, the removal process of pigments triggered underneath the skin may continue. Second or subsequent sessions for eyebrow removal with lasers can be scheduled at the earliest 6-8 weeks later. Sometimes, it may be necessary to extend the interval even further.

How Many Sessions are Required for Eyebrow Removal with Lasers?

The number of sessions required for eyebrow removal with lasers depends on the type of pigments used, the applied technique, the depth, the quantity of pigment used, and the type of laser used. On average, eyebrow removal may require 3-6 sessions.

Is it Possible to Remove Specific Parts of the Eyebrow with Lasers?

The removal process can be applied to specific parts of the eyebrow. The laser pulses can be delicate enough to target only a specific area. Precise work is possible.

What are the Ideal Pigments for Laser Removal?

Non-metallic herbal pigments are the most ideal. Some permanent makeup pigments may contain metallic bases. When these metallic products encounter laser light, they may turn dark, even black. In such cases, the removal process becomes much more challenging. This darkness can only be removed through laser peeling. This procedure may have fewer risks, such as discoloration, keloids, or scar development. Therefore, the removal of permanent makeup pigments that have a metallic structure and mixed colors with lasers may be limited.

Does Eyebrow Removal Leave Scars on the Skin?

If you follow the recommended guidelines before and after the procedure, you generally shouldn’t encounter any issues while removing your eyebrows. When you adhere to the advice and keep the treated area moist and protected after the procedure, no permanent damage should occur in the region.

Is Laser Eyebrow Removal a Painful Process?

The sensation of pain is subjective and can vary from person to person during the procedure. Generally, there is minimal discomfort during the eyebrow removal process. However, to reduce this discomfort, anesthesia cream can be used for numbing, and the treatment area can be cooled with cold air during the procedure.

Before Eyebrow Removal Procedure

The treatment area for laser eyebrow removal should be protected from the sun. It should be shielded from the sun for about 2 weeks before the treatment. If necessary, the treatment area should be shaved. Aspirin and other blood-thinning medications should not be taken one day before and on the day of the treatment.

After Eyebrow Removal Procedure

Regular ice compress can be applied to the lasered eyebrow area. The treatment area may need to be kept elevated as much as possible. Recommended creams can be applied regularly to the treated area. For 3 days, avoid hot water, sauna, steam baths, etc., if there is crusting on the skin, refrain from swimming in the sea or pool until the crust is gone.
