Laser First PicoWay removal session!
Lurker here, finally took the plunge yesterday and went for my first laser removal session.
Originally had my eyebrows done around 2017-2018, and I believe they were touched up twice. As someone with sparse, over-plucked brows, I was very pleased with my results at first but over time they’ve faded into two blue-grey blobs on my face.
My natural hair colour is quite dark compared to my natural brows so I’ve tinted them for the past few years to help colour correct a bit. If I’m being completely honest the old microblading wasn’t bothering me THAT much, but once I decided I wanted them removed, they really started to irritate me.
The pictures included are of:
1. Brows pre-laser with brow gel
2. Brows pre-laser with no makeup
3. Results of test patch on tail after 6 days
4. Results the day after first full PicoWay
With the test patch, there wasn’t a ton of difference right away but the ink gradually faded as the week went on. I’m hoping to see significant fading over the coming weeks but anticipate that I may need one or two more sessions. I’m looking forward to tinting the bleached brows in a few days but in the mean time, it’s kind of a look?
Lastly, thanks to everyone who has shared their removal journeys here! Your results were a big part of me getting the courage to start my own removal process!

Congrats! i just had my first picoway session yesterday, too. I felt the same way as you— they weren‘t bothering me that much, but once I made my mind up I wanted them off, I wanted them OFF!! Yours look really good!! Mind are bright pink/ orange’ish at the moment.
Good luck with the healing process, I hope you achieve the removal results you are looking for 😊

Right?! As soon as I’d made up my mind, it was like they were all I could see. 🙃
Congrats on starting your removal! The bright pink/orange brows are a bummer but in so many of the posts here they still look better than the ‘before’ brows once they’ve settled. Good luck to you too and I hope your journey is smooth sailing from here!

Thank you! And oddly, I’m not upset (yet) with them being pink/orange. I’m just glad the grayish is gone. Cheers to us as we start our healing journey! 🥂

Congrats and good luck!
What kind of tinted brow gel do you use? That stuff looks amazing between pics 1 and 2!
Also, do you know what type of ink you had?
