Laser Tattoo Removal for the lightening and removal of permanent and semi permanent tattoos / inks

In many cases we can remove permanent makeup and often with less treatments than traditional tattoos.  Most often the ink colors used in permanent cosmetics are hand mixed with different colored inks.  Since different colored inks lift at different rates it is common for cosmetic tattoos to change colors during the process before final removal. For this reason we will often recommend doing a test spot to see what colors appear before proceeding with a full treatment.

Some of the types of permanent makeup removal treatment we offer are:

  • Eyebrow Tattoo Removal
  • Microblading Removal
  • Freckle Tattoo Removal
  • Scalp micro pigmentation Tattoo removal
  • Hair Tattoo Removal
  • Lipstick Tattoo removal

I tried saline removal, can I still do lasers?

We have gotten many calls from clients who have tried saline tattoo removal unsuccessfully inquiring if they can do a laser treatment. As long as the treated area has fully healed we are able to treat with the laser. If you are unsure we recommend you give it at least 3 weeks after a saline treatment before undergoing a laser treatment.

How many treatments will I need?

There are many factors that go into the question of how many treatments, from the ink composition or color mixture to the technique of your microblade artist and even your metabolism.  With this in mind we most commonly see most microblading removed in 3-4 treatments with some taking less and some taking more.

Hand mixed inks and color changes throughout treatment

With many cosmetic tattoo applications practitioners will opt to hand mix their inks to achieve the desired color.  When we treat cosmetic tattoos/microblading that were performed with mixed inks the tattoos can often change colors throughout the removal process.  To avoid damage to the skin we only treat each area with one wavelength at a time. Different wavelengths target different colors of ink and this is why we see the color change during treatment. It’s not uncommon to see multiple color changes during tattoo/microblading removal.  If at your consultation we think you will see some color changes we may recommend a spot treatment to see how it reacts before proceeding.
