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.
Correcting a brow, or removing a body tattoo?
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.
Test patch first, then the course.
Eyebrow pigment is not body ink, and it is treated differently. Three steps, in order.
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.
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.
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 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.
Why brow pigment behaves differently.
Body ink is mostly single-pigment. Cosmetic brow pigment is not, and the difference decides how we treat it.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
Prior removal attempts and layered or corrected work are costed with your clinician at consultation.
Every price here is the realistic place a course starts. Your free consultation and your test patch confirm the plan for your pigment and your skin.
