TLDR Permanent makeup can cause delayed allergic reactions, but they can be managed with proper treatment.

A patient experienced a severe allergic reaction to the red-orange pigment used in permanent eyebrow makeup during removal procedures. The patient underwent 24 treatments, including four laser sessions and chemical removers, which initially caused no issues but later led to redness, swelling, and papules. The allergic reaction subsided with subsequent treatments and topical corticosteroids. This case highlights the potential for delayed allergic reactions to pigments and proposes a management protocol for such complications.
