PMU REMOVAL - REFRESH, REFINE, OR REINVENT

​​​

​Eyebrows Evolve, So Can You

 

Your permanent makeup journey doesn’t have to be a one-time decision. Over time, styles shift, preferences change, and your brows should always enhance you—at every stage of life. Whether you want to soften a bold look, adjust symmetry, or refine your shape, PMU removal offers you the freedom to make changes on your terms.

​

Why Consider PMU Removal?
  • Style Evolution – Maybe you once loved a powdered or bolder look, but now you’re leaning towards something softer and more natural.

  • Shape Refinement – With ageing, brows can subtly shift, and a slight tweak can refresh your overall look.

  • Colour Adjustments – Over time, pigments can fade in different ways, sometimes pulling slightly warmer or cooler. Adjustments can restore a balanced, flattering tone.

  • Fresh Start – Whether you’re looking for a subtle correction or a complete brow transformation, removal can give you a clean slate for a more bespoke, tailored enhancement.

​

The Process

PMU removal is a safe and effective way to gradually lighten and remove unwanted pigment, allowing for a refreshed look or complete rework.

  • Light PMU can often be removed in 1 or 2 sessions, whereas bolder, stronger PMU may require 3 to 4 sessions. This can be discussed during the consultation to determine the best approach for you.

  • Healing time is required between each session to ensure the skin remains in the best possible condition for future enhancements.

  • Results are individual, and we will always tailor the process to your skin type, pigment history, and goals.

​

Frequently Asked Questions

​​

Q: What methods are available for PMU removal?

A: We offer two primary methods for removing permanent makeup:​

  • Saline Solution Removal: This technique involves implanting a saline solution into the treated area, which helps lift the pigment to the skin’s surface. It’s effective for various pigment colours and is suitable for all skin types.

  • Laser Removal: This method uses specific wavelengths of light to break down pigment particles, which are then naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system. It’s particularly effective for darker pigments.

​

Q: Is a patch test required?

A: If suitable for a removal treatment, a patch test is performed to ensure compatibility and safety.​​ During your consultation, we'll assess your specific needs to recommend the most suitable method for you.

​​​

Q: How many sessions will I need?

A: The number of sessions required varies based on factors such as the type of pigment, its depth, and your desired outcome. Generally:

  • Light PMU: May require 1 to 2 sessions.

  • Bolder, more saturated PMU: May need 3 to 4 sessions.

This will be discussed in detail during your consultation to create a personalised treatment plan.

​​

Q: What is the downtime after a removal session?

A: Post-treatment, you might experience redness, swelling, or tenderness in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few days. It’s important to allow the skin to heal properly between sessions, usually a period of 6 to 8 weeks, to ensure the best results and skin recovery.

​​

Q: What will the area look like immediately after treatment?

A: Immediately following the procedure, the area may appear red and slightly swollen. Some clients may notice light scabbing or crusting as the skin heals. It’s crucial not to pick at any scabs to prevent scarring and to promote proper healing.

​​

Q: Are there any risks associated with PMU removal?

A: As with any cosmetic procedure, there are potential risks, including infection, scarring, or changes in skin pigmentation. However, by choosing a qualified professional and adhering to recommended aftercare, these risks are minimised.

​​

Q: How should I care for the treated area after a removal session?

A: Proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing and results. General guidelines include:

  • Keep the area clean and dry: Gently cleanse with a non-scented soap and avoid soaking the area.

  • Avoid makeup and skincare products on the treated area: Refrain from applying cosmetics or creams until the area is fully healed.

  • Protect from sun exposure: Keep the area covered and out of direct sunlight for at least a week following treatment. Once healed, apply a high SPF sunscreen to protect the skin.

  • Avoid picking or scratching: Let any scabs or crusts fall off naturally to prevent scarring.

​​

Specific aftercare instructions will be provided based on the removal method used and your individual skin type.

​​

Q: How do I decide between saline and laser removal?

A: The choice between saline and laser removal depends on various factors, including the pigment’s colour, depth, and your skin type. During your consultation, we'll evaluate your specific case and recommend the most effective method tailored to your needs.

​​

Q: Can all types of permanent makeup be removed?

A: While many types of permanent makeup can be lightened or removed, the success of the procedure depends on factors like the age of the tattoo, the type of pigment used, and its depth. Some pigments may respond better to certain removal methods. A thorough consultation will help determine the best approach for your specific situation.

​

Q: Is the removal process painful?

A: Discomfort levels vary among individuals and depend on the removal method used. Most clients describe the sensation as similar to the initial application of permanent makeup. Topical numbing agents can be applied to enhance comfort during the procedure, and we also use the latest cooling technology to help alleviate any mild discomfort.

​

Q: How soon can I see the results?

A: Results are gradual and depend on the body's healing process. The pigment will lighten over several weeks following each session. Multiple sessions may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome.
