From the ✏️ pencil-thin brows of the 90’s to the fluffy brows of today, eyebrow trends are forever changing, but permanent makeup is...well, permanent. If your eyebrow tattoos are no longer your style, our laser can remove old ink and restore your brows to their natural state! 💥

When it comes to laser removal, the ink used for permanent makeup can be more unpredictable than traditional tattoo ink, at times resulting in tattoos turning a different color, like green. 🟩😱 It’s important to laser permanent makeup with caution, with virtually all cases starting first with a test spot so Dr. Pilest may determine how the tattoo will respond.
