Have Red Eyebrows After Permanent Makeup?
If your eyebrows turned red over time—but you’ve never had laser removal—you’re not alone.
This is a very common issue and it’s actually an ideal case for laser removal.
I see a lot of reddish eyebrows after permanent makeup. If someone tells you it happened because of poor aftercare, your lifestyle or your immune system—that’s not accurate. The real reason is usually simple: the pigment composition.
Note: Some pigments are made in a way that leaves red tones behind. It’s not your fault—and not something you could’ve prevented with better aftercare.
Laser is very effective in these cases. Just know that red pigment typically fades through a grey stage before it fully disappears. That’s completely normal.
The good news?
There’s no magic number. Everyone’s skin is different. Some clients need just a few sessions, while others require more. Any estimate is just that—an estimate, not a guarantee.
Now, about the number of sessions…
In certain cases, we might even need to combine laser with a remover solution to target deeper or more stubborn pigment layers. That’s why it’s so important to assess each situation individually.
Combining Laser and Remover
Unfortunately, covering up red with another pigment is not the solution. Some artists try to “neutralize” red by tattooing over it with green or cool-toned pigments. This can cause even more problems during removal. Pigments do not blend together inside the skin—they layer and that layering can lead to unpredictable color shifts and much more complicated removal in the future.
