Eyebrow Tattoo Removal in Seoul

Eyebrow Tattoo Removal explained

Eyebrow tattoo removal fades pigment placed by microblading, powder brows or older permanent makeup. People choose it to correct a poor shape, a colour that has turned red, blue or gray, or to prepare for a new design. Brows are small, so sessions are short.

How Eyebrow Tattoo Removal works

Laser pulses shatter the ink particles in the skin, and immune cells remove them over weeks. Picosecond lasers break ink into smaller particles than Q-switched lasers and may need fewer sessions. Some cosmetic inks contain iron oxide or titanium dioxide, which can turn darker when hit by laser, so a test spot is often done first.
