Healing after laser treatment to remove an old eyebrow tattoo typically follows a predictable process. Here are the general stages and what to expect:

Immediate Post-Treatment:

Right after the laser treatment, the treated area may appear red, swollen, and feel warm to the touch. Some individuals may also experience minor bruising or blistering, though this is less common. The skin may feel tender or sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn.

First Few Days:

In the first few days following the laser treatment, the redness and swelling may intensify before gradually subsiding. It’s essential to keep the treated area clean and dry, avoiding harsh cleansers or rubbing the skin. Applying a soothing topical ointment or antibiotic cream recommended by your provider can help alleviate discomfort and promote healing.

dry skin:

Within a week or so after the laser treatment, the treated area may start to get a bit dry as the skin begins to regenerate. It’s essential to resist the urge to pick at anything from the skin, as this can increase the risk of scarring or infection. Keeping the area moisturised with a gentle, fragrance free moisturiser can help soothe dryness and promote healing.

Reduction in Pigmentation:

Over the following weeks and months, you may notice a gradual reduction in the pigmentation of the treated area as the body’s immune system works to remove the fragmented tattoo ink particles. Multiple laser treatment sessions may be needed to achieve the desired level of fading or complete removal.
