EYEBROW & COSMETIC TATTOO REMOVAL FAQ's
Frequently asked Questions
Below are the most common questions clients ask before starting their eyebrow & cosmetic laser tattoo removal treatments. If you need personalised advice, Laser Lab Tattoo Removal Cairns are always happy to help.
What is cosmetic eyebrow laser tattoo removal?
Cosmetic eyebrow laser tattoo removal is a procedure that uses advanced laser technology to safely lighten or fully remove unwanted eyebrow tattoos, microblading, nano strokes, powder brows, or older cosmetic tattoo pigment.
Is laser tattoo removal safe for eyebrows?
Yes. When performed by trained professionals at Laser Lab Tattoo Removal Cairns, eyebrow laser tattoo removal is very safe. We work carefully around the eye area using specialised cosmetic-safe laser settings designed specifically for delicate facial skin and cosmetic tattoo pigments with maximum results in as minimal amount of treatments possibly and safely.
Will it remove all eyebrow tattoo colours?
Most cosmetic tattoo pigments—including browns, greys, orange tones, and faded pink or red hues—respond very well to laser removal. Certain colours may require a few extra sessions depending on how they were implanted and how long they’ve been in the skin.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients require 2–6 sessions for eyebrow tattoo removal.
However, the exact number depends on:
The pigment type used
Depth of the cosmetic tattoo
Age of the tattoo
Your skin type and healing response
We assess this during your consultation.
Does eyebrow laser tattoo removal hurt?
There can be mild discomfort, similar to a quick heat or elastic snap sensation. The use of numbing cream is an option though rarely needed to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.
Will the laser damage my natural eyebrow hair?
Unlike some harsh removal methods, laser tattoo removal does not affect your natural eyebrow hair growth.
What is the downtime after treatment?
Most clients experience:
Mild redness
Light swelling
Tightness or tenderness
This usually settles within a few hours to 48 hours. You can continue with most daily activities immediately.
When will I see results?
Pigment begins breaking down immediately, but visible fading typically appears within 2–4 weeks as your body processes the fragmented ink.
Can you remove microblading or powder brows?
Yes. We specialise in removing:
Microblading
Ombre/powder brows
Combination brows
Old cosmetic tattoos
Incorrectly shaped or discoloured eyebrow tattoos
Laser is the safest and most effective method.
Can I get my eyebrows re-tattooed after removal?
Absolutely. Once your skin has fully healed and the area is clear of pigment, you can safely have fresh cosmetic brows done again. Many clients choose removal specifically to correct shape or colour before re-tattooing.
Do you offer consultations?
Yes, we offer free no obligation consultations to assess your cosmetic tattoo, give you treatment expectations, and discuss the number of sessions likely needed.
