Announcing our latest release of a fun and exciting video that has do with a FREE Disney outing not many folks know about!! ua-cam.com/video/V_LNGuCULzQ/v-deo.html
I had picoway to remove microblading from 2018, and 8 months post procedure my red brows are almost completely faded. It was 750 for the picoway at my local cosmetic laser dermatology clinic though so the out-of-pocket cost is definitely no joke! I share a progress video as well, in case anyone is interested.
I had the same problem, my doctor oxidized the red ink to black ink, so for awhile it went black again before it started to fade💪🏻💪🏻 now i can barely see them anymore
I’ve spent more than 2k (13 sessions) of saline removal and the ink is still not totally gone but it’s very faded (I started off super dark). Pros of saline removal was no hair loss. Downside is that it’s much slower than laser. Good luck with your journey!
Thank you for sharing your story and your wishes! I've heard saline removal can be a bit painful. Maybe even more painful than a round of laser without any numbing cream. 😐
@@lcmojoBoth spots I went to did use numbing, and I didn’t find it to be that painful - it was a different type of pain, similar to the pain of getting them done. It took longer, and uses a microneedling tip to open the skin, apply the saline (that’s the part that burns for a few seconds). It was recommended to me for Asian skin given lasers can be hit or miss. I’d say on the plus, I didn’t lose hair and have seen progressive lightening. But I have absolutely sunk $100-200 per session into this, and it’s been a 2 year journey so far. They’re finally at a point that’s not bad anymore, but the tails of my old (disastrous) brows are still there. After all this, I should have just done an eyebrow hair transplant - after adding up how much I’ve put into my brows, that literally would have been cheaper, lol! My heart goes out to you as you figure out what to do next!
@@lcmojoI’ve had saline removal. I didn’t find it too painful, no worse than getting the brows microbladed or shaded. The numbing helped. It is a bit bloody but the scabs heal in about a week.
I had a huge journey of trying to repair botched brows...now that they've been fixed for a while, just decided I would do removal so as to never have to deal with blow out and redoing etc again...pico lasers are what you should be looking for.
This is definitely a process. I use a Benzocaine/Lidocaine/tetracaine 20/[0/10 for my patients. It is compounded just for them and it works well. I have a PicoWay and Candella recommends not “double tapping” or hitting the same spot twice as this will tend to over treat and cause burning and blistering which can lead to scarring. Most of my patients require 1-2 treatments. The PicoWay treats ALL colors effectively. We can also numb you with injected lidocaine. The needle is very very small and works quit well without waiting 30+ minutes for a topical to be effective. Best of luck to you. Brows, eyeliner and lip tattoo removal.
hey just want to say thank you so much for posting your journey. i watched your other videos too, and i just got my 3rd laser removal done a few days ago. they're still red but a lot lighter, im anticipating 1-2 more sessions for myself as well ): hoping this all goes well for us both and we get it removed! ive been going out the house with no eyebrows and the red tattoos so i feel you on looking like an alien lol. but nobody really cares too much thankfully!
OOo thanks for the wishes and following along with my crazy adventures! 🤗 Do you mind letting us know which laser is being used on you? Cheers 🥂 to getting rid of our microbladed eyebrows!!
You're welcome 🤗! So I waited about a week before applying makeup again over the brows. I honestly thought that my orangy brows were much more pleasant than the ashy gray brows. 😊 Wearing a hat a couple days outside also helped with the transition.
You are not alone. I start my removal process next month. I just got my brows done a week ago and I don’t like them at all. What type of laser are they using? The clinic that I have found uses picoway
Sorry to hear you didn't get the microblading you were hoping for. They used the Picosure with the 755nm wavelength. I covered it in the Part 2 video if this helps. I plan on releasing the Part 4 video soon to share some more updates. 😉
Can you post a video a couple of weeks from now? I want to see how long it takes for the redness to go away and follow up on your journey! I have already spent $150 on saline removal and mine has lightened by a lot in one session, however it is till noticeable. I think one session of something would seal the deal, but saline removal sucked. It was like microblading all over. It took about 1 hour and at the end she puts salt on a fresh would.. SO MUCH FUN. I will say that the healing time was 1 week and my skin was fine right after. That was the only benefit to it. The other option I was looking into was Rejuvi which is an acid removal process. I'm only looking into PICO treatments because I've seen others report that it is the least painful or the shortest amount of pain. I'm just not sure I want to endure a few weeks/months of redness. It would be a constant reminder when I look in the mirror. Ugh.
Omgosh salt on a fresh wound! 🙀😱 I could never! I'll probably put another video out at some point. At the moment, and it's only been a couple of weeks since I last posted, they're still red/pink. 🍒
At a minimum 6-8 weeks. If you end up with pink eyebrows from prior removals, the 532 laser wavelength should help target the red. You can watch my Part-4 video in which I talk about removing red eyebrows. 😉
This is my exact story! I have paid the same $400 two sessions so far with same result and reluctant to head back to this woman who insisted she knows best. Now I see this video and see I’m not alone.😢 I am day four into the second attempt removal of my eyebrows which had already iron oxidised they are so pink and I am devastated that the second laser is still not making a difference I expected and told would work. The only success story I have that is working in the interim is and one I discovered myself is I am using a colour corrector, cc cream on the eyebrows. It’s a white cream which cancels the red considerably and makes them look much much less pink and more natural but I have to do this every day I leave the house or it looks hideous
OOO yes, you are indeed not alone 🤗. There is a whole community of us lol. I'm actually planning on bringing up the red/green corrector subject in my next video and so much more. I want to do a deep dive into the laser systems that are out there and what each of them can do for us depending on the situation we may be facing (black/blue/green vs. red/yellow/orange). I recently booked a consultation with a new place that may be able to remove that red ink for me. As usual, I'll be probing them with hundreds of questions lol to gauge how much experience/knowledge they have doing laser removals. I'm not going to let someone else take another $200-$250 from me for nothing...
I had over 7 sessions with pico on the 1064 setting and they were BRIGHT red and every session they stayed the exact same. It was a year and $1000 later until I got frustrated. It wasn’t until I said I wanted the 532 setting and she said they don’t use that setting on the face because it can cause permanent hair loss and at the point I was already losing hair and told her let’s just try it I don’t care. One session later on the 532 setting the red is completely gone. Pico has that setting I would ask!
@@Biancastafford Unfortunately my local place only has the 755nm setting for the Picosure. The other 1064 and 532 settings are add-ons they would have to purchase separately to attach to their Picosure system. Why do they not have it? My best guess is that they cost an arm and a leg. 😖 Glad you had a successful outcome with the 532!! 🤗
Hi there! Just letting you know that my Part 4 video was just released and the topics on red/green corrector and various laser systems that target different ink colors were addressed. ;)
Hey girl I’m with you! I’m excited to hear how to mitigate the red colour that remains. I heard some LED/red lights and masks helps to heal with laser pigmentation recovery as well!🥹🥹🥹❤
🤗 We're all in this together! I just released my Part 4 video which talks about what the next steps should be for anyone who has reached the red eyebrows stage. ☺️ I will look into the LED/red lights you mentioned. Thanks! 👍
PicoWay!!! I almost went to this place a couple of years ago. They did a test spot. I never pulled the plug and scheduled. I've since moved out of FL and had Pico Way done Monday, and I am so pleased with the results. I'm so sorry you went through all of what you did.😢
Girl I’m in the thick of it right now!! The place REMOVERY told me and gave me the ok that they would use a different frequency to get rid of the red. Mind you this is my 4th time going in. I get there and the girl was like “know we are gonna use the wavelength you’ve been using “. I was so sad and frustrated cause I waited 2 months for this appt and was so excited that the wavelengths promised was gonna be used! Because obviously whatever they are doing ain’t working! Plus she fried my brows. I totally smelled burned hair. I am so sad and so upset. I’m looking for a place that will use the pico that takes out red.. cause they are definitely red.
Ooo that is not cool for them to pull this on you! Hope you find your pico place🤞 (watch my last video for help on finding a local provider). Keep us posted please! 🤗
Hi i have had 3 sessions so far on the third session she used a different setting to get rid of the red, she did tell me my brows will go white but it will fade she said,she never said the blue/black would appear back, i am so upset i have my next app in 6 wks they are closed today but i will phone them tomorrow i just want these micro brows gone.
So sorry to hear 😞. Was that the picosure, picoway or Q-switch laser? I've never heard of the dark ink making its way back. That's crazy! Wish you could share pics here.
Hi There! Do you happen to have any updates on your brows for us? 😉 Just letting you know I just released my Part 4 video and I'm sharing lots of new updates with you all!
@@lcmojo Hi i have had 5 laser treatments so far to be honest i feel a bit deflated, there still blue but much lighter my eyeebrows are white and hair loss not good so i am going to take time out from laser for a bit how is it going for you ? x
I think everything is going well in your case. The place I'm going to also has the picosure, but they recommend to shave off your hair before hand. Also I just want to say your eyebrows are looking great so far, and your eyebrow hairs will grow back with some time, just make sure you shave them before your appointment next time.
I'm indeed happy to report that my hair has grown back and any strands that turned white 🤍 after the laser session have turned back to their natural hair color 🖤.
Hello. I'm in the same boat as you. After receiving the 1064 wavelength pico laser, my eyebrows turned red, but gray is still visible here and there. So, I have grey and red at the same time. I can see you have the same experience. So, I would like to ask you a question. Did the gray ink left after the first session disappear after the second session? I'll need 532 laser in a couple of months, but I don't know if 532 affects grays as well. I really hate seeing both colors on my eyebrows at the same time. Your answer will be of great help. Thank you in advance. :)
Hi there 🙋♀️! So for my 1st and 2nd session, the 755nm wavelength was used and I would say that the 1st round was pretty successful in terms of getting rid of the gray but I needed 1 more round to clean up some leftover ashy gray. Now I'm working on removing the red with the 532 wavelength. I will be seeing someone else soon. Crossing fingers 🤞!! If you still have some gray left, I would recommend that you do another session using the 1064 or 755 but not 532 (for rainbow colors like red, yellow, etc...). Watch my part-4 video as I explained all the difference in terms of laser wavelengths and what each can accomplish. 😉 I wish you good luck!
Hi! 🤗 I can see my hair darkening (from being white due to the laser) and actually growing back. There's hope. I think my next step (after I wait it out for a few more weeks) will be to hunt for a place that not only has a Q-switch laser but also good reviews of course 😉.
I want to start laser treatment for my microbladed brows but I’m so scared! I’m scared it will look worse than it does now. My brows are much darker than yours and I’m terrified of being left with red pigment and patchy brows. Not sure what to do either at this point
Take a deep breath! We are all in this together 😉 and we'll get it done. I plan on putting another video together to give some updates and give a bit more nuggets of information on the lasers and what each one of them can accomplish in terms of the ink color each one of us may be stuck with. Based on my research and my journey, I would say find a place with a laser that has the 1064nm or 755 nm wavelength to get rid of the black/dark ink. After 1-3 sessions, you will probably be left (unless you're lucky) with either red or yellow ink. This can be resolved with a 532nm laser (the number of sessions that will be needed will vary from person to person).
I just had my brows lasered with the piqo4 laser. I did not lose any hair at all. My brows were a very dark ashy gray and now they are pink/red. My technician did tell me that this would happen. The laser first removes the black and leaves the red. Next session we will focus on red pigment.
@@lcmojoomg me too! I got them done in November but had my last touch up in January 😭 were your sessions one month apart? I have been recommended to get between 2-3 sessions and I’m hoping to get this all removed before school starts in August
Watch my part-4 video 😉 on how to find places in your area of choice. I made an appointment with a new place in Orlando (for a 3rd session to remove the redness) but since I haven't yet been there, I don't have any inputs to share with you guys just yet.
I am going through a similar situation. I had powder brows done yesterday (“semi” but truly permanent). They are massive and extremely dark, lopsided, and several mm uneven in the center. I truly look like a clown or something from a horror movie. I’ve called all around town, everyone says it’s permanent and there’s nothing they can do. Some places out of town tell me do an emergency saline removal ASAP. Other ppl say no don’t do that! Let it heal for a month then do laser! Yet another place said to do an abrasion removal, and that lasers can cause cancer. I’ve had panic attacks multiple times in the last 24 hours. I can’t sleep, I cry each time I look in the mirror. I don’t know how to get rid of these. I think it’s incredibly sad that no one can offer solutions with evidence based outcomes. The information on the web and amongst “professionals” is contradictory. This is by far the worst mistake I’ve made in my life. Thank you so much for documenting your story. I hope you keep us posted. Best of luck- truly- trying to fade the discoloration. I fear that will happen to me too if I go with a laser. I’ve heard horror stories: skin turning orange, yellow, blue, or green. 😔 Never ever again will I do something like this 🥹
Hi Stacie, I'm sorry to hear about your experience and that you feel your new eyebrows have changed your look. Take a deep breath and know there is always a solution for every problem. You can fix this but you will need to have courage and patience (build up that same courage you had to get them done in the first place) as this is a journey but YOU WILL get there. What I know and learned through my research is that there is no evidence that laser tattoo removal does directly cause skin cancer. What laser can do, however, is make the skin more photosensitive after treatment, leading to an increased risk of sun damage but with the right sun protection you should be fine. Take your time in figuring out your next step because you need to make it right now to get the removal results you are looking to achieve. Good luck to you. 💕
Thank you for the response! Yes, I'd never heard of laser causing cancer either- it sounds a bit outrageous. A tattoo artist who wanted to do an acid removal is the one who told me that. I do believe laser will be the safest, most effective option. I wonder why some people's skin becomes discolored after laser. It's day 3. I'm not having constant anxiety, I'm learning to just breathe and accept what's happened. I think I'll make it through the next month until laser, but wow those first two days I was in complete shock. I still can't believe people who are licensed can mess up a person's face so badly. But life moves on. Best of luck to you too! I'll be checking back for your updates!@@lcmojo
Do the opposite of all the aftercare. They say not to wet your face or sweat or wash too abrasively. So try to wash your face often, maybe sauna to try to sweat out the ink while it’s still healing.
Hi there! How have you been doing with your brows situation? Any updates you can share with us? Just letting you know that my Part 4 video was just released and I'm sharing quite a number of updates with you all! 😉
@@lcmojo so- brows calmed down after a few weeks. I actually cancelled my laser removal appt! My eyebrows are definitely not the most ideal shape- they could be so much better. However, I see so many horror stories /pictures about laser removal. Eyebrow skin turning orange-red, brows bleached and falling out, etc. Mine ultimately faded to something I feel like I can live with for now. Oh! I applied retain-A religiously for a month- I do feel that helped to fade/peel some of the skin. Looking forward to watching your update!
Hi. I am Som from Kolkata India. 27 years old. I have done micro blading A year back. Now it looks a bit odd. I want to get it removed. i visited a clinic today, they are not sure but suggesting me Q Switch Laser. They do have Hollywood spectra Laser as well. please help me. If you know anything about the removal. Btw i have dark black eyebrows as of now from microblading. which is somewhat turning greenish blue.
Hi Som from India! The Q switch laser should be just fine. Just make sure they use the 1064nm wavelength to start off with removing the darker/black ink. Then (as explained in my Part 4 video), have them move on to the 532nm wavelength for your 2nd or 3rd session if you'll need to go back to remove any red/orange tones that may appear after the black is removed.
@@lcmojo Ma’am i am so grateful that you are helping me. That you replied so soon. I am in such a dilemma. my mind is always going in circles about the laser removal. Like should i do it or not? will it affect my skin? will it burn? will my hair be gone, forever, which is really important!!! my mom too has done it. but she is fine with her microblading. she insists me not doing the removal, and says i will regret it later. She too have visited the clinic with me today!!! but ma’am thank you. 🙏🏻 we are together in this. 🧿
@@lcmojo Mine turned orange. I probably just need another session she said, they have both the lasers for removal which is great. I paid 169$ with tax CAD
So, the 755nm Picosure laser removed my black ink (discussed in Part 2) but because now I am left with red undertones, I need to find someone with the 532nm laser. The place I've been going to only has the 755. I plan on putting another video together to give some updates and give a bit more nuggets of information on the lasers and what each one of them can accomplish in terms of the ink color each one of us may be stuck with.

Hi There! Do you happen to have any updates on your brows for us? 😉 Just letting you know I just released my Part 4 video and I'm sharing lots of new updates with you all!
@@lcmojo Hi it was the Q switch no where near where i live has the pico laser.
@@lcmojo Hi i have had 5 laser treatments so far to be honest i feel a bit deflated, there still blue but much lighter my eyeebrows are white and hair loss not good so i am going to take time out from laser for a bit how is it going for you ? x
I think everything is going well in your case. The place I'm going to also has the picosure, but they recommend to shave off your hair before hand. Also I just want to say your eyebrows are looking great so far, and your eyebrow hairs will grow back with some time, just make sure you shave them before your appointment next time.
I'm indeed happy to report that my hair has grown back and any strands that turned white 🤍 after the laser session have turned back to their natural hair color 🖤.
Hi there! Just letting you know that my Part 4 video was just released and I'm sharing quite a number of updates with you all! 😉
Hello. I'm in the same boat as you. After receiving the 1064 wavelength pico laser, my eyebrows turned red, but gray is still visible here and there. So, I have grey and red at the same time. I can see you have the same experience. So, I would like to ask you a question. Did the gray ink left after the first session disappear after the second session? I'll need 532 laser in a couple of months, but I don't know if 532 affects grays as well. I really hate seeing both colors on my eyebrows at the same time. Your answer will be of great help. Thank you in advance. :)
Hi there 🙋♀️! So for my 1st and 2nd session, the 755nm wavelength was used and I would say that the 1st round was pretty successful in terms of getting rid of the gray but I needed 1 more round to clean up some leftover ashy gray. Now I'm working on removing the red with the 532 wavelength. I will be seeing someone else soon. Crossing fingers 🤞!! If you still have some gray left, I would recommend that you do another session using the 1064 or 755 but not 532 (for rainbow colors like red, yellow, etc...). Watch my part-4 video as I explained all the difference in terms of laser wavelengths and what each can accomplish. 😉 I wish you good luck!
Thank you so much for this video. Can I ask what MedSpa you went to?
You're welcome! I went to an aesthetic business in Florida on the east coast. Are you located in Florida? 🙂
Yes, I am! I'm in the north central part of Florida.
@@laoscurita Hi, the place is called Millefiori in Melbourne.
Awesome, I will check them out! Thank you!! 😊
Hi, did you have any progress?
Hi! 🤗 I can see my hair darkening (from being white due to the laser) and actually growing back. There's hope. I think my next step (after I wait it out for a few more weeks) will be to hunt for a place that not only has a Q-switch laser but also good reviews of course 😉.
I want to start laser treatment for my microbladed brows but I’m so scared! I’m scared it will look worse than it does now. My brows are much darker than yours and I’m terrified of being left with red pigment and patchy brows. Not sure what to do either at this point
Take a deep breath! We are all in this together 😉 and we'll get it done. I plan on putting another video together to give some updates and give a bit more nuggets of information on the lasers and what each one of them can accomplish in terms of the ink color each one of us may be stuck with. Based on my research and my journey, I would say find a place with a laser that has the 1064nm or 755 nm wavelength to get rid of the black/dark ink. After 1-3 sessions, you will probably be left (unless you're lucky) with either red or yellow ink. This can be resolved with a 532nm laser (the number of sessions that will be needed will vary from person to person).
I just had my brows lasered with the piqo4 laser. I did not lose any hair at all. My brows were a very dark ashy gray and now they are pink/red. My technician did tell me that this would happen. The laser first removes the black and leaves the red. Next session we will focus on red pigment.
Hi there! Just letting you know that my Part 4 video was just released and I'm sharing quite a number of updates with you all! 😉
I HATE my microblading and want to cry thinking about the journey ahead.
How long ago did you have them done?
@@lcmojoomg me too! I got them done in November but had my last touch up in January 😭 were your sessions one month apart? I have been recommended to get between 2-3 sessions and I’m hoping to get this all removed before school starts in August
7 weeks apart 😉. Wish you good luck!
What is the eyebrow stick you are using?
Hi there, I linked it in the description box. It's a pen by Maybelline. 😊
Any recommendations for a good place in central Florida please 🙏🏼 I need these brows gone asap 😭
Watch my part-4 video 😉 on how to find places in your area of choice. I made an appointment with a new place in Orlando (for a 3rd session to remove the redness) but since I haven't yet been there, I don't have any inputs to share with you guys just yet.
Why did you jot try saline removal ? It removes all the ink equally
I heard (and through my research) that saline removal (for old microblading) is not as effective and pretty painful + time consuming.
I am going through a similar situation. I had powder brows done yesterday (“semi” but truly permanent). They are massive and extremely dark, lopsided, and several mm uneven in the center. I truly look like a clown or something from a horror movie. I’ve called all around town, everyone says it’s permanent and there’s nothing they can do. Some places out of town tell me do an emergency saline removal ASAP. Other ppl say no don’t do that! Let it heal for a month then do laser! Yet another place said to do an abrasion removal, and that lasers can cause cancer. I’ve had panic attacks multiple times in the last 24 hours. I can’t sleep, I cry each time I look in the mirror. I don’t know how to get rid of these. I think it’s incredibly sad that no one can offer solutions with evidence based outcomes. The information on the web and amongst “professionals” is contradictory. This is by far the worst mistake I’ve made in my life.
Thank you so much for documenting your story. I hope you keep us posted. Best of luck- truly- trying to fade the discoloration. I fear that will happen to me too if I go with a laser. I’ve heard horror stories: skin turning orange, yellow, blue, or green. 😔
Never ever again will I do something like this 🥹
Hi Stacie, I'm sorry to hear about your experience and that you feel your new eyebrows have changed your look. Take a deep breath and know there is always a solution for every problem. You can fix this but you will need to have courage and patience (build up that same courage you had to get them done in the first place) as this is a journey but YOU WILL get there. What I know and learned through my research is that there is no evidence that laser tattoo removal does directly cause skin cancer. What laser can do, however, is make the skin more photosensitive after treatment, leading to an increased risk of sun damage but with the right sun protection you should be fine. Take your time in figuring out your next step because you need to make it right now to get the removal results you are looking to achieve. Good luck to you. 💕
Thank you for the response! Yes, I'd never heard of laser causing cancer either- it sounds a bit outrageous. A tattoo artist who wanted to do an acid removal is the one who told me that. I do believe laser will be the safest, most effective option. I wonder why some people's skin becomes discolored after laser. It's day 3. I'm not having constant anxiety, I'm learning to just breathe and accept what's happened. I think I'll make it through the next month until laser, but wow those first two days I was in complete shock. I still can't believe people who are licensed can mess up a person's face so badly. But life moves on. Best of luck to you too! I'll be checking back for your updates!@@lcmojo
Do the opposite of all the aftercare. They say not to wet your face or sweat or wash too abrasively. So try to wash your face often, maybe sauna to try to sweat out the ink while it’s still healing.
Hi there! How have you been doing with your brows situation? Any updates you can share with us? Just letting you know that my Part 4 video was just released and I'm sharing quite a number of updates with you all! 😉
@@lcmojo so- brows calmed down after a few weeks. I actually cancelled my laser removal appt! My eyebrows are definitely not the most ideal shape- they could be so much better. However, I see so many horror stories /pictures about laser removal. Eyebrow skin turning orange-red, brows bleached and falling out, etc. Mine ultimately faded to something I feel like I can live with for now. Oh! I applied retain-A religiously for a month- I do feel that helped to fade/peel some of the skin. Looking forward to watching your update!
Hi. I am Som from Kolkata India. 27 years old. I have done micro blading A year back. Now it looks a bit odd. I want to get it removed. i visited a clinic today, they are not sure but suggesting me Q Switch Laser. They do have Hollywood spectra Laser as well. please help me. If you know anything about the removal.
Btw i have dark black eyebrows as of now from microblading. which is somewhat turning greenish blue.
Hi Som from India! The Q switch laser should be just fine. Just make sure they use the 1064nm wavelength to start off with removing the darker/black ink. Then (as explained in my Part 4 video), have them move on to the 532nm wavelength for your 2nd or 3rd session if you'll need to go back to remove any red/orange tones that may appear after the black is removed.
@@lcmojo Ma’am i am so grateful that you are helping me. That you replied so soon. I am in such a dilemma. my mind is always going in circles about the laser removal. Like should i do it or not? will it affect my skin? will it burn? will my hair be gone, forever, which is really important!!!
my mom too has done it. but she is fine with her microblading. she insists me not doing the removal, and says i will regret it later. She too have visited the clinic with me today!!!
but ma’am thank you. 🙏🏻 we are together in this. 🧿
No problem and good luck to you! Wish you a successful removal! 🤗 You can do this! You got it!
@@lcmojo but ma’am will anything happen to my eyebrow hair? will it fall off on the process?
Your eyebrows may get frosty like mine did but in about a week or so they had darkened again. My part 4 video shows the before and after.
Im about to get mine removed tomorrow, they're brown. Try shaving your eyebrow hairs, youll need more sessions because the hair is blocking the laser.
Good luck with the removal! Please come back to let us know how it all went for you. 🤗
@@lcmojo Mine turned orange. I probably just need another session she said, they have both the lasers for removal which is great. I paid 169$ with tax CAD
Oo I wish my place had both lasers too! Gotta spend time hunting for another one now. Ugh...fun stuff. @@RupturedCatalyst420x
Both lasers? What laser is needed besides picosure?
So, the 755nm Picosure laser removed my black ink (discussed in Part 2) but because now I am left with red undertones, I need to find someone with the 532nm laser. The place I've been going to only has the 755. I plan on putting another video together to give some updates and give a bit more nuggets of information on the lasers and what each one of them can accomplish in terms of the ink color each one of us may be stuck with.
Hi, did you have any progress?
