Eyebrow tattoo turned red or blue? Fade it step by step
When an old eyebrow tattoo has shifted to a reddish or bluish tone, or healed in a shape you no longer want, the existing pigment may need to be cleared before a new design. At Cellin Clinic Myeongdong, tattoo color, depth, pigment amount, and skin condition are assessed first so the picosecond laser energy and delivery method can be adjusted to you.

About the procedure
When an eyebrow tattoo has changed color or shape
Over time, semi-permanent eyebrow tattoos can take on a reddish or bluish tone, or remain thick and uneven in a way that makes your expression look unnatural. Eyebrow tattoo removal uses a picosecond laser that delivers high energy in a very short time to break pigment into fine particles that the body can clear naturally.
Because the brow area has hair and follicles, irritation to the surrounding skin and follicles needs to be considered as well. During consultation, tattoo color, depth, pigment amount, and skin condition are reviewed to set individual energy and delivery methods, and the pigment is addressed step by step.

01When can I wash my face or apply makeup after the procedure?+
Because the laser breaks down ink particles while limiting damage to the surrounding skin, gentle cleansing, makeup, showering, and light exercise are generally possible after the procedure. For one week, avoid heavy drinking, saunas, and strenuous exercise, and let any fine scabs fall off on their own.
02How often can the procedure be performed?+
Eyebrow tattoo removal is generally performed at intervals of about 4–6 weeks. The timing of each next session is decided at consultation based on how much pigment remains and how your skin has recovered.
