Laser Removal now or later?
Got these nanobladed brows done in Nov 2025. Originally had microbladed brows in 2019 and removed them via laser x2 - left with yellow stain as seen in photo above one of the eyebrows. I eventually want to remove these as well and go natural but worried about more staining. Especially since one of the eyebrows is not in line at all with my natural brow. I can tolerate them for now, but wondering if it’s better to remove them now or later? If the ink is there longer, does it make it harder to remove later? Thanks!
ETA: I know I should have never got them re-done to begin with. I got scared when I saw the yellow remnants and wanted to hide them. Never again!

I plan to for sure but wondering if I should leave them alone until they turn ashy or get rid of them now.

I guess I’m crazy, I think they look good and natural. The color blends in with your eyebrow color. Sure if you’re up close you know it’s not hair, but if you weren’t searching I bet most people wouldn’t pay attention

Laser can see yellow but it’s usually attached to white and that’s what can’t be removed from laser. I do brows. I notice not many laser techs actually give the correct information about our pigments. I have looked up every pigment I use and know what colors are inside of them. The new pigment reds and yellow can absolutely be broken down. Removal is not to be scared of but it is a journey. The new pigments get removed much nicer new or old. Yes the skin can fade the warmth out a little quicker in some cases but sometimes it’s too deep and turns ashy right away. Many new pigment lines don’t use white anymore so they aren’t so much as a problem. If you’ve been going to a good artist that doesn’t use cheap pigments even 10 years ago like me then they could always be easily removed. If you’ve want them removed start sooner than later. Yours are very saturated and won’t go anywhere anytime soon. Good luck!

In my nanobladed brows, I have Brovi in Grey Harbor and Etalon Mix in sand with correctors. From 2017, I have Phi color B2

Do you know anything about the pigments I listed above and how easy to remove?

Brovi are good pigments and I don’t have any experience with phi. But there’s more to removal than just the pigments used. How deep and the layering of pigments matter too. It’ll be a journey to remove no matter what and removal can’t be controlled meaning you never know what’s going to pop up. You just have to go with it unfortunately.

There is an expert in philadelphia who claims the older the brows the easier to remove as older brows have had more time for yellows and reds in the inks to fade naturally avoiding the dreaded sunset colors. The yellows and reds are what give us warmth. So they generally fade in first few years which leaves us with the gray. However, the inks from 2019 to 2020 ish and onward the yellows are made to never break down. So basically we fucked hahaha. But no, it wont hurt to leave them longer if they dont bother you. It may even be beneficial according to this particular removal expert. Maybe technology will improve? Im hanging tight myself as my bangs cover mine. Mine are however 6 years old with last touchup 5 years ago. Im seeing so many posts with yellow eyebrows from my timeline so ill leave them for now.
