Eyebrow Tattoo Removal in Melbourne

Tattoo eyebrow removal is the process of breaking down, lifting or fading pigment from the skin where cosmetic eyebrow tattooing was done. The goal might be total removal or just enough lightening for an eyebrow tattoo correction.

We offer several methods of eyebrow tattoo removal:

• Laser eyebrow tattoo removal – targets pigment with precision laser technology.
• Non-laser eyebrow tattoo removal treatments – like saline or special removal solutions, ideal for pigments laser can’t target.

Both are done by qualified eyebrow tattoo removal specialists using safe, proven eyebrow tattoo removal techniques.

You might be considering eyebrow removal if you have:

• Tattooed eyebrows that have turned ashy, red, orange or blue
• Shapes that no longer suit your features
• Overly saturated eyebrow tattoos that dominate your face
• Unwanted eyeliner or lip tattoo that could also be done in the same tattoo removal process
• Perfect brows before your next tattooing session

A professional tattoo removal service can:

• Remove or fade unwanted tattoos safely
• Allow for new tattoo work on a clean canvas
• Improve symmetry and shape
• Reduce the build-up of pigment from multiple tattoos
• Restore confidence and ease in your daily routine

Long-term benefits? You avoid stacking pigment upon pigment, which often makes correction harder later.

You’re likely a good candidate if:

• You’re in good health with no active skin issues
• You understand that removal is a process over 6–8 weeks between sessions
• You follow the aftercare instructions for the full healing process
• You’re realistic about needing additional removal sessions for stubborn pigments

We may postpone or refuse treatment if you:

• Are you pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have uncontrolled diabetes or immune disorders
• Have a history of keloid scarring or skin sensitivities
• Recently tanned the area
• Are on photosensitising medications
• Have infections or open wounds in the area

At Face Figurati, I match the tattoo removal technique to your skin type, pigment and goals. You can choose from laser removal or non-laser techniques.

Laser tattoo removal

Laser tattoo removal is a popular choice in Melbourne because it’s fast and effective on deep or stubborn pigment. It works by targeting the tattoo pigment with high-intensity laser light, breaking up the ink particles.

Pros:

• Laser technology treats most colours
• Quick sessions with a walk-in, walk-out procedure
• Often, fewer sessions for carbon-based ink

Cons:

• May cause oxidation in iron oxide pigments
• Slight risk of skin tone change in darker skin
• Pain scale varies (numbing cream is used to reduce discomfort)

At Face Figurati, we show laser tattoo removal before and after results so you can see realistic outcomes.

Saline (non-laser) tattoo removal

This non-laser tattoo removal method uses a sterile saline solution that draws pigment to the surface as the area heals.

Pros:

• For sensitive skin or ink that doesn’t respond to lasers
• Fades saturated colours and stubborn ink
• Gentle fading without laser

Cons:

• May need more sessions
• Slower process

This is often the best option for those who have had bad experiences with laser tattoo removal or want a gradual fix.

Laser vs non-laser techniques

Preparation is just as important as the treatment itself. I’ve seen over the years that a well-prepared skin surface means smoother sessions, faster fading and less irritation or scarring.

Before we start any eyebrow tattoo removal (whether laser eyebrow tattoo removal or non-laser eyebrow tattoo removal treatments), I take you through a thorough preparation process:

• Consultation – We go through your tattoo history, pigment colours and how many sessions you may need. This is also when I assess your skin type and overall skin condition.
• Patch test – Especially important for sensitive skin or first-time clients. This ensures your skin responds well to the chosen removal method, whether that’s laser technology or a non-laser method.
• Lifestyle check – Your immune system plays a big role in the tattoo removal process. We talk about your diet, stress levels and general health so I can adjust your treatment plan for the best results.
• Treatment selection – I’ll guide you on whether eyebrow laser removal or a non-laser eyebrow tattoo removal technique is more suitable based on pigment type, saturation level and your desired timeline.

Your pre-care checklist for optimal results:

• Stop using exfoliants, retinol and strong acids at least 7 days before your session.
• Avoid alcohol, aspirin or anti-inflammatories for 24 hours before — they can increase skin sensitivity and bruising.
• Keep the area clean, calm and free from irritation before your appointment.

When you prepare properly, you’re giving the tattoo removal process the best chance to break down pigment effectively with less swelling and faster recovery.

Clients often tell me they’re surprised at how comfortable and quick the process is. Here’s what happens when you come in for eyebrow tattoo removal in Melbourne:

• Consultation & photos – I take before shots to track fading and progress over time. We go through your expectations and answer any last questions.
• Skin preparation – The brows are cleaned and a high-quality numbing cream is applied to minimise discomfort.
• Removal method – Depending on your plan:
  Laser eyebrow tattoo removal – Laser pulses break down pigment into tiny particles for your body to flush out naturally.
  Non-laser eyebrow tattoo removal treatments – A saline or other removal solution draws pigment to the surface for natural shedding.
• Cooling & soothing – I apply a cooling gel or device to reduce redness and swelling.
• Aftercare briefing – I go through your individual aftercare instructions so you know what to expect. No downtime.

The first session sets the tone for your removal journey. Both laser eyebrow tattoo removal and non-laser methods lift pigment, but heal differently:

• Laser brow removal – Immediately after, brows may appear frosty-white due to pigment reaction. This fades within minutes, followed by light redness or swelling.
• Non-laser eyebrow tattoo removal treatments – Brows darken slightly as the pigment rises to the surface, forming fine scabs that naturally flake away over 7–10 days.

In both cases, pigment continues to break down for several weeks, so the real results are best seen at the 4–8 week mark. Be patient — eyebrow tattoo removal specialists know that rushing can compromise skin health.

Follow my aftercare plan to avoid unnecessary irritation or scar tissue:

• Keep the area completely dry for the first 48 hours.
• No makeup until the skin is fully healed.
• Never pick or scratch scabs — this risks pigment pulling and permanent textural changes.
• Protect the brows from direct sun and UV exposure.
• Avoid saunas, swimming and heavy sweating for 7 days.

I always recommend booking your next session only after your skin has gone through the full healing process — usually 6–8 weeks post-treatment. This gives your skin enough time to fully recover and allows the tattoo pigment to clear before targeting the next layer.

Most side effects are short-term and temporary if aftercare is followed correctly:

• Redness, swelling, tenderness – Common for 24-48 hours.
• Temporary pigment darkening – Some pigments oxidise before breaking down, giving a brief “darker” phase.
• Skin lightening/darkening – More likely in sensitive skin or with inconsistent sun protection.
• Rare scarring – Almost always linked to aggressive picking, infection or skipping aftercare steps.
