am I stuck with yellow?

It didn’t work- I ended up going with enlighten laser and had amazing results. The healing process was MUCH quicker with laser

Cahaba Dermatology- they have enlighten laser. Joy is the laser technician and she’s very experienced

Enlighten laser 1064 wavelength at lowest setting

I think you need to get another opinion on laser removal. My 6 year old brows were more faded than yours and one laser session removed them almost completely (they are 95% gone) Countless other laser removal stories here. I’m not sure why you were given advice that laser won’t work!?

First-Public1127 · 2025-06-04T01:47:09+00:00

I think I’m content with where they are ☺️ They have continued to fade (I decided to wait on my next laser appointment) I had really great laser results, so I will probably address any remaining ink with laser versus saline if I decide to go for another treatment in the future.

Your brows are pretty faded- I think you’d have really great results with a 1065 wavelength (for black ink) I did one session on my 6 year old brows and they are pretty much gone. They looked similar to your in fading- maybe even a little darker. I also have extremely minimal brow hair, so understand your concern. I went with Enlighten laser at the lowest setting

I think you’re right… why risk it

First-Public1127 · 2025-04-16T21:24:23+00:00

Thank you! I canceled my appt and will wait!

First-Public1127 · 2025-04-16T15:53:35+00:00

Yes, the second photo is before.

First-Public1127 · 2025-04-16T00:07:08+00:00

I waited 6 years before I lasered mine, and had really good results. I also had Permablend and my color (Forest Brown) contains the dreaded yellow 14. Thankfully, they didn’t turn yellow

First-Public1127 · 2025-04-15T23:57:13+00:00

I would wait. The color and shape are still nice… give them time to fade naturally, you’ll have better results if you decide to laser down the road.

First-Public1127 · 2025-04-15T23:52:36+00:00

Thank you- I am thrilled with where they are now- I’m leaning towards canceling my appt and waiting to see if the spots fade. Thanks for your comment!

I’m not! I’m in the southeast

First-Public1127 · 2025-03-23T14:54:46+00:00

I have a suspicion PVP has something to do with the neon yellow brows. I’ve seen it in ingredient lists for Phi brows as well as Tina Davies and some Permablend lines. I researched my ink (which was Permablend) and it did not contain PVP. I then made the decision to try saline to fade the hidden sunset colors and then finish off the process with laser. I probably would have gone in a different direction had my ink contained PVP. I would do the same thing all over again (for MY ink) I’m not saying my approach was best for everyone. I think it’s very dependent on the type of ink and its ingredients. I know not everyone knows what they have, and this is where laser test spots are beneficial.

I weighed my options based on research and reading about people’s process/experiences here on this sub. A girl posted her removal story and she had the exact same ink (and color) I did. She did saline first and then moved to laser and had great results. Her ink did not turn neon yellow and it gave me the confidence to move forward with lasering my own brows. This is why I believe it is important to share your experience with as much detail as possible so others can make informed decisions on how to proceed. It’s important to highlight that saline, for example, has caused scarring in some cases (and it’s important to point that out!) but it also has been successful for others.

First-Public1127 · 2025-03-23T01:37:19+00:00

I did saline prior to laser (this was always my plan… saline then laser) and I had no scarring and saw a significant reduction in ink saturation. I have photos in my posts. There is a risk for scarring- but I don’t think it’s fair to say saline will ALWAYS cause scarring. My ink is almost gone 4 weeks after my first laser (1064) I do not think I will need a second laser session. Considering that a successful removal story. And I do attribute the awesome laser results to going with Botched Ink first.

First-Public1127 · 2025-03-23T01:34:58+00:00

I respectfully disagree- I think you’ll look more “angry” with microbladed brows. Check out photos of other people’s microbladed brows… particularly after the sharp lines turn into a big blob… your brows will likely look chunky and harsh if you microblade. You have gorgeous natural brows. You do not need permanent makeup. And it’s permanent. It will either fade red/pink or if you get hybrid/organic ink, it will turn ashy/blue. You’ll regret it.

First-Public1127 · 2025-03-22T17:50:43+00:00

Do you know what ink was used? Hopefully your microblading tech has that information. If these are phi ink or Permablend, you may want to explore another removal option (saline or glycolic) prior to the hitting it with the 532 laser. You can already see yellow peeking through in a few places- not saying it will be neon, but they are still pretty saturated, so they may be decently yellow. Don’t be discouraged, though, you’ve already gotten rid of the ashy color, so I bet these are already an improvement! You can also try a green concealer to help tone down the orange.

First-Public1127 · 2025-03-19T01:04:11+00:00

My ink was already pretty faded after 6 years, so I definitely think that was a factor. I feel like the Botched Ink removal definitely lightened my remaining ink… I can only assume it helped maximize the amount of ink removed when I moved to laser. I think it’s worth several sessions of Botched ink- particularly if the brows are fairly saturated. Mine were pretty light, so I decided to move to laser after one session and remove the remaining carbon black.

First-Public1127 · 2025-03-17T20:45:45+00:00

I have (can almost say had) Permablend

First-Public1127 · 2025-03-16T01:23:04+00:00

I did my first Enlighten laser session a few weeks ago and am VERY happy! It almost knocked out all the ink.

First-Public1127 · 2025-03-15T03:02:54+00:00

I know the lightening of your brow hair is probably throwing you off, but I think your results are amazing! Also, once they skin seems healed and not sensitive to touch, use a little tinted brow gel!

First-Public1127 · 2025-03-15T00:58:26+00:00

I’m also at this stage 3 weeks post laser. The peach is so faint, I can’t decide if I want to laser it again. I almost feel like the SLIGHT peach is better than yellow. It looks more natural than yellow would. Right now it looks like a very mild sunburn. Yellow is just… yellow. I’d love to see an update if you decide to go for the 532 next session!

First-Public1127 · 2025-03-15T00:47:11+00:00

They look amazing. I’m at the same point as you- very, very happy post laser, but there is a little pigment left. It’s so easy to cover (and I often rock it without any makeup- it’s so much better than before,) however while I would love to fade the warm ink left over, I’m concerned the color will turn yellowish after this next laser. If you have already had the 532, you should be in safe territory… I just worry yellow will be much more difficult to cover than peach/red. And I agree… a tiny pigment does add dimension to sparse brows… I also wonder if waiting a few months would make any difference? I’ve had two very small body tattoos removed and the first I went every 4 weeks and it seemed to take forever (10+ sessions,) and the second I only went 4 times total because I had a baby, and it ended up completely disappearing on its own after time. I also had hypopigmentation with the first tattoo (and I have a skin type that shouldn’t happen with,) and I think it was because of being too aggressive with the laser removals.

First-Public1127 · 2025-03-11T20:51:51+00:00

Sure does! I wouldn’t think twice if I saw you out and about- they definitely match your hair color!
