What is Laser PMU & Brow Removal?
Laser PMU and brow removal works by delivering precision laser energy into the skin, where it is absorbed by the cosmetic pigment. This energy breaks the pigment down into tiny particles, which are then naturally processed and cleared by your body’s lymphatic system over several weeks.
This treatment is ideal for addressing old or unwanted brow tattoos, correcting incorrect shapes or colours, and removing migrated or faded semi-permanent makeup. Whether you want a full removal or just enough fading for a cover-up, our custom settings ensure safety for your specific skin and pigment type.
Typical sessions last between 20 to 45 minutes. While some results may be seen early, a course of treatments is usually required depending on the age, depth, and color of the pigment. Temporary whitening, redness, or mild swelling may occur immediately after, with full results building gradually over time.
Aftercare & Frequently Asked Questions
Keep the treated area clean and dry. Avoid picking or scratching any crusting that may form. Do not use sunbeds, saunas, or go swimming until the area is completely healed. Once the skin has settled, ensure you apply a high SPF daily to protect the area from UV damage.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Laser PMU & Brow Removal and how does it work?
It is a non-invasive procedure where laser energy is directed at the skin. The pigment particles absorb this energy and shatter into smaller fragments, which are then naturally processed and removed by your body’s lymphatic system.
How many sessions will I need to remove my brows?
Every client is different. On average, it takes between 3 to 8 sessions to achieve full removal or significant fading for a cover-up. Factors include the age of the tattoo, depth of pigment, and the specific ink used.
Does Laser PMU & Brow Removal hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a quick snap, similar to a rubber band hitting the skin. The procedure is very fast, usually lasting only a few minutes, making it very tolerable.
Will my brows go orange or change colour?
Transient colour changes (such as going slightly orange, red, or grey) are common during the removal process as different pigment components break down. This is a normal part of the journey and will continue to fade with subsequent sessions.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
Downtime is minimal. You may experience temporary whitening of the pigment immediately after, followed by redness and slight swelling for 24-48 hours. Mild crusting may occur, but most clients return to normal activities immediately.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Ensure the area is clean and free of makeup. Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks prior and do not use active skincare (like retinols) on the brow area for at least 3 days before your session.
What should I avoid after treatment?
Avoid heat-related activities like hot tubs, saunas, and intense exercise for 48 hours. Do not pick any scabs and stay out of direct sunlight to prevent hyperpigmentation.
Will it remove the tattoo completely?
In most cases, we can achieve complete or near-complete removal. However, some synthetic pigments or heavily scarred tissue may retain a ghost-like shadow.
Is Laser PMU & Brow Removal suitable for all skin types?
We use advanced laser settings that can be tailored to various skin tones. During your consultation, we will assess your skin type to ensure the safest and most effective approach is used.
