Can Laser Remove Old Microblading? What to Know Before You Start

October 29, 2026

Your Old Brows Don't Have to Be Your Forever Brows

Maybe your microblading has turned gray, red, or an unexpected shade. Maybe the shape no longer suits your face. Or maybe you're simply ready for a change.

Whatever the reason, you're not alone.

Laser removal may be an option for unwanted microblading, but brow pigment needs special attention.

Why Is Microblading Removal Different?

Microblading creates small strokes of pigment in the skin to mimic natural eyebrow hairs. Unlike conventional body tattoos, cosmetic brow pigments can contain different ingredients and may respond differently to laser treatment.

That's why removing old microblading isn't as simple as pointing a laser at the pigment.

At Get Glowing MedSpa in Century City, Los Angeles, we use the Discovery Pico Plus for tattoo removal. Whether it's appropriate for your brows depends on the pigment, your skin, and your treatment history.

What Affects Your Results?

Several factors influence how cosmetic brow pigment responds to laser treatment:

  • Pigment color and composition: Different pigments can react differently to laser energy.
  • Your skin: Your skin characteristics help determine whether treatment is appropriate.
  • Previous treatments: Existing pigment and past removal attempts can affect your treatment plan.

Some cosmetic pigments can change color or darken after laser exposure. That's why proper assessment before treatment is essential.

Multiple sessions may be needed, and complete removal cannot be guaranteed.

Start With a Skin Analysis

Before treating unwanted brow pigment, the first step is to assess what you're dealing with and determine whether laser removal is appropriate.

We'll discuss your concerns, evaluate the pigment, and explain your options and realistic expectations.
