Microblading and brow tattoo removal,
done carefully.
Brows sit right at the center of your face, so a shape or color you don't love is hard to ignore. Whether you want them gone or just lighter for a redo, the plan starts with a careful look at the pigment.
Microblading and eyebrow tattoo removal lightens or removes cosmetic brow pigment that faded unevenly, changed color or no longer suits you. Brow pigments can darken when treated, so PSRx patch tests first. Removal usually takes several sessions spaced weeks apart, and your provider plans it around your pigment and skin at consultation.

Eyebrow & Microblading Removal FAQ.
Can microblading be removed?
Yes, microblading can usually be lightened or removed with laser over a series of sessions. Because microblading sits close to the surface, it may clear faster than a body tattoo, but every brow is different. Your provider patch tests first and estimates your number of sessions at consultation.
Why did my microblading turn red or orange?
Many brow pigments contain iron oxides and other colors that fade at different rates. As the brown fades, warmer red or orange tones can show through. Laser can lighten these tones, and a patch test shows how your pigment will respond before full treatment begins.
Will my eyebrow hair fall out?
Brow hairs can lighten or thin for a short time after laser, but they usually grow back. Your provider talks through this risk at consultation and plans treatment to protect your natural brows as much as possible. If you notice changes, tell us at your next visit.
Can I just lighten my brows instead of removing them?
Yes. Many people lighten their brows so an artist can redo them with less old pigment showing through. Lightening often takes fewer sessions than full removal. Tell us your plans at consultation so we can time your sessions around your artist.
Is brow tattoo removal safe on dark skin?
Yes, when it's planned for your skin type. Darker skin can lighten or darken if removal is too aggressive, so sessions are paced and spaced to let your skin recover. PSRx specializes in laser care for melanin-rich skin and patch tests cosmetic pigment first.
Does brow tattoo removal hurt?
Most people describe it as a quick snapping feeling. Sessions on the brows are short, and your provider talks through ways to keep you comfortable. The area may feel warm, look red or swell a little for a day or two afterward.
