Laser Removal Permanent Makeup
Service Description
Laser removal of permanent makeup is a procedure that uses laser technology to break down the pigments in the skin from cosmetic tattoos, such as eyebrow tattoos, eyeliner, or lip liner. It is a popular method for those who want to remove or correct their permanent makeup for aesthetic or medical reasons. How It Works: 1. Laser Application: A specialized laser, such as a Q-switched laser or a Pico laser, is used to target the tattoo pigments beneath the skin. • The laser emits short pulses of light that are absorbed by the pigments. • The light breaks the pigment into smaller particles, which are then removed by the body’s natural processes. 2. Gradual Fading: The permanent makeup fades over a series of sessions as the body continues to eliminate the pigment. What to Expect: • Sessions Required: Depending on the pigment type, color, and depth of the tattoo, multiple sessions (4–10 or more) may be needed for complete removal. • Colors Removed: Black and dark colors are easier to remove, while lighter pigments, like white or yellow, can be more challenging. • Treatment Time: Each session typically lasts 15–45 minutes. Benefits: • Safely removes unwanted permanent makeup. • Can lighten or completely remove poorly done or outdated tattoos. • Minimal downtime compared to surgical removal methods. Potential Risks or Side Effects: • Temporary Side Effects: Redness, swelling, blistering, or scabbing may occur but usually heal within a few days. • Hyperpigmentation or Hypopigmentation: Some people may experience changes in skin tone, especially those with darker skin types. • Incomplete Removal: Some pigment colors or stubborn tattoos may not be fully removed.
