Eyebrow tattoo removal · Melbourne

Your brows, brought back.

A test patch before treatment and a staged plan after it, calibrated to every Fitzpatrick type. Six sessions is the usual course.

What changed

You haven't changed. The brow has.

Cosmetic tattoos move. Microblading fades patchily or migrates from the line it was drawn on. A powder brow can settle darker than the colour that was chosen. Older brow tattoos drift toward grey, green or red as the pigment ages in the skin.

None of it means the original choice was wrong. Pigments age; that is their chemistry, not your judgment. Correction starts with an honest assessment of the pigment in your skin.

How it works

Test patch first, then the course.

Eyebrow pigment is not body ink, and it is treated differently. Three steps, in order.

Step one

The test patch

Cosmetic brow pigments are mixed compounds, and some respond unpredictably to laser. Where there is any uncertainty, we treat a small patch and check how your pigment responds before treating the full brow. This is standard protocol at Pink.

Step two

The course

Six sessions is typical for eyebrow tattoos, spaced so the skin recovers and the pigment clears between visits. Progress is checked at each session, and the course adjusts if your brow needs fewer or more.

Step three

The final session

Most eyebrow tattoos clear well. At your last session we assess where the pigment has settled and tell you how long the skin needs to heal before any new pigment goes in, if you plan to have your brows reshaped.

The technology

The laser, and the protocol around the eye.

Eyebrow correction at Pink runs on the same platform as every tattoo removal here, with a protocol built specifically for the brow.

The Fotona StarWalker

Eyebrow tattoos are treated on the Fotona StarWalker, the Q-Switched Nd:YAG platform the clinical literature holds as the gold standard for tattoo removal. Its pulse control matters most on the face: the brow takes small, precise doses of energy, set to the pigment and the skin around it.

FracTAT®

Pink runs two Fotona platforms side by side, and the pairing is available for eyebrow work. The first laser drills a fine array of micro-channels over the pigment; the StarWalker then treats through them. The channels give the gases formed during treatment a way out, so more pigment clears in one visit. Whether it is right for your brow is confirmed at your free consultation.

The eye-area protocol

An eyebrow tattoo sits close to the eye, and the protocol is built around that. Your eyes are covered with block-out goggles for every session, and treatment is confined to the brow itself. This is part of why eyebrow correction is its own procedure at Pink, not a small body tattoo.

The clinician's calibration

Settings are not fixed in advance. Wavelength, intensity and pace are chosen for your skin tone and your pigment, then adjusted at each session based on how the last one responded.

The pigment

Why brow pigment behaves differently.

Body ink is mostly single-pigment. Cosmetic brow pigment is not, and the difference decides how we treat it.

The blend

A brown brow pigment is usually a mix: black, red, yellow and white compounds blended to a shade, sometimes with modifiers added to warm or cool it. Each compound in the blend responds to the laser in its own way, which is why two brows that look the same colour can clear differently.

Darkening, disclosed

Some cosmetic pigments contain iron oxides, and these can turn darker on first contact with the laser instead of lighter. The change is treatable, but it should never arrive as a surprise. We tell you the risk exists before you book, and the test patch is how we find it on a few millimetres of skin rather than across your brow.

The honest position

Even with experience, what a particular blend will do cannot always be known in advance. The test patch replaces guessing with evidence from your own skin. From there, the course is set on what your pigment actually did.

Fitzpatrick I–VI

Calibrated to your skin tone.

Brow pigment sits in skin that carries pigment of its own: melanin. The deeper your natural tone, the more your skin competes with the tattoo pigment for the laser's energy, and the more precisely each session has to be set.

At 1064 nm, the StarWalker's longer wavelength passes through melanin with little absorption, reaching the tattoo pigment while leaving your skin tone largely undisturbed. It is recognised in the clinical literature as the safest wavelength for darker skin. For deeper tones the calibration is set low and unhurried, and adjusted as your skin responds.

The StarWalker MaQX is FDA-cleared for tattoo removal across all skin types, Fitzpatrick I through VI, at 1064 nm in PICO mode.

Every session is set by the Pink Clinical Team for the skin in front of them.

Pricing

Priced as a course, or one session at a time.

Eyebrow tattoos are one bracket: the brow. The course below is six sessions, the typical clearance. A single session is always available as a way in, and FracTAT® can be built into either.

Frequently Asked Questions

How it works
How does eyebrow tattoo removal work? +
Laser light passes through the skin and is absorbed by the tattoo pigment, breaking it into particles small enough for your body to carry away on its own. Each session repeats that, taking the pigment down in stages.
Can microblading be removed? +
Yes. Microblading, powder and ombre brows, and traditional eyebrow tattoos are all treated here. They differ in how the pigment was placed and how densely it sits, and the plan is set to what is actually in your skin.
Why do you treat a test patch first? +
Cosmetic brow pigments are blended from several compounds, and blends respond to laser in different ways. A small patch shows how your pigment behaves before the full brow is treated. It is standard protocol at Pink, not an extra.
The experience
Does eyebrow tattoo removal hurt? +
There is discomfort, and we will not pretend otherwise. The brow is a small area, so sessions are short, and your clinician calibrates the treatment to your skin and uses cooling to keep it as comfortable as it can be.
Is it safe to use a laser so close to my eyes? +
The protocol is built around exactly that. Your eyes are covered with block-out goggles for every session, and treatment is confined to the brow itself. It is part of why eyebrow correction is its own procedure at Pink.
What will my brows look like after a session? +
The treated area turns white briefly, then becomes red and a little swollen, much like mild sunburn. Over the following days it may scab lightly as it heals, and that is normal. It usually settles within one to two weeks, and you go home knowing what is normal and what is worth a call.
Outcomes and safety
Can an eyebrow tattoo turn darker instead of lighter? +
Some cosmetic pigments contain iron oxides, and these can darken on first contact with the laser before they clear. It is treatable, and it is exactly what the test patch is for: finding how your pigment behaves on a few millimetres of skin rather than across your brow. We tell you about this risk before you book, not after.
Is it safe for darker or olive skin? +
Yes. The 1064 nm wavelength Pink treats with passes through the skin's own pigment with little absorption, which is why it is recognised as the safest wavelength for darker and olive skin. From there it is calibration, set low and adjusted as your skin responds. Our Fitzpatrick I to VI section explains the mechanics.
My brows were tattooed more than once. Can they still be treated? +
Yes. Layered and corrected work carries more pigment and can take more sessions, and prior removal attempts elsewhere are factored in too. Your clinician examines what is in the skin at your consultation and gives you a realistic picture before you start.
The plan
How many sessions will my eyebrow tattoo take? +
Six sessions is typical, and results on eyebrow work are good. Some brows clear in fewer; layered or previously treated work can take more. Your consultation and your test patch set the realistic count for yours.
Can I get my brows tattooed again after removal? +
Yes. At your final session we tell you how long the skin needs to heal before new pigment goes in, and the timing is settled with your brow technician. Many clients finish removal precisely because they want their next set of brows done on clear skin.
