Most healthy adults are excellent candidates for laser eyebrow tattoo removal in Irvine, CA. Success depends on ink color, depth, and skin type. We recommend waiting at least 8 weeks after your last tattoo session and avoiding treatment if you have active breakouts, cold sores, or infections. Dr. Pilest will evaluate your skin during your consultation to create a safe, personalized plan.
Every eyebrow tattoo removal treatment in Irvine begins with a thorough in-person evaluation by Dr. Pilest. He examines the pigment under magnification to detect metals that could cause color shifts during treatment. To prepare: avoid sun exposure and self-tanner for 2 weeks, stop retinols near the brows 5 days prior, and arrive with clean skin. These simple steps help ensure the best possible results.
