More than 2 years ago, Ms. TTM (28 years old, living in Khanh Hoa province) decided to get her eyebrows tattooed with a fortune and feng shui design for more than 10 million VND at a beauty salon, after seeing advertisements on social networks.
The girl believes that eyebrow correction will help open up the palace of fortune, success in work, and family happiness.
“The beauty salon committed to using the highest quality Korean ink on the market, painless and with a lifetime warranty. However, after only 2 months, the blue-black tattoo ink faded, started to turn blue-gray, and the patches of color peeled off and were very uncomfortable.
Even though I went back for touch-ups many times, the condition did not improve, and my eyebrows became more patchy and dark,” M. said.

Believing that changing her eyebrow shape would help improve her appearance and fortune, after getting the tattoo, she was not only disappointed with the cosmetic results but also felt a loss of confidence every time she looked in the mirror.
Recently, she went to a medical facility in Ho Chi Minh City to find a way to deal with her "beauty disaster".
Through assessing the condition of the tattoo, specialist doctor Nguyen Thi Kim Dung, Head of the Dermatology - Skin Aesthetics Unit of the above facility, noted that Ms. M's eyebrow tattoo had uneven color, blurred ink, lost sharpness, and had a slight keloid scar due to incorrect tattoo removal technique.
The doctor prescribed Ms. M. to remove her eyebrow tattoo with a pico laser, a course of 6-8 sessions, combining techniques to minimize the impact on the natural structure of the skin, reduce post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and the burning sensation when removing the tattoo. At the same time, the girl was advised on post-tattoo removal care and sun protection.
After 3 laser treatments, M's eyebrows are now stable and the tattoo ink has faded significantly.

According to Dr. Dung, eyebrow tattooing according to feng shui should be carefully considered and should not be done just to follow trends or blindly believe in luck.
In particular, people with sensitive skin, atopic dermatitis or allergies to tattoo ink need to be careful because they can easily experience complications such as contact dermatitis, prolonged redness and itching, and even infection due to unsafe tattoo equipment.
In addition, using poor quality ink or poor technician skills can also make the eyebrows not as beautiful as expected, the tattoo color is blue or red, which is very difficult to edit later.
"Do not be subjective when the skin in the eyebrow area shows signs of redness, blisters, discharge, discoloration or itching after tattooing or tattoo removal. Arbitrarily applying drugs of unknown origin or continuing to intervene at poor quality spas can cause further skin damage.
People who want to remove tattoos should go to reputable medical facilities to receive advice, monitoring and proper treatment from specialized doctors, helping to effectively restore the skin and minimize long-term complications," Dr. Dung recommended.
