HOW DOES LASER PERMANENT MAKEUP REMOVAL WORK?

The technician traces the laser beam over the unwanted pigments. The beam penetrates the skin and targets the pigment molecules. The heat and the laser energy break down the molecules into even smaller particles, which white blood cells take away and the body extracts.

IS LASER TATTOO REMOVAL EFFECTIVE?

The laser tattoo removal service is very effective in removing black and cool brown pigments, but doesn’t work so well with other colors. The tech needs to be very skilled and have a laser device which can work at proper wavelengths.

The issue with laser PMU removal is that it’s not possible to remove pigments which have a white base. The white pigment base is most commonly titanium dioxide, and it’s used in most lip pigments, as it gives the tattoo a brighter base to sit on, making the color much more intense. When the laser hits this component, a chemical reaction occurs that turns the titanium dioxide from white to its original state – dark grey.

From there, extra non-laser removal treatments are needed to help remove the grey pigment.

HOW MANY SESSIONS WILL I NEED?

Tattoo removal requires several sessions, the number of which varies depending on pigment saturation – how faded the pigment is, how deep it was implemented, what color it is, etc. Most clients need between 2 and 6 sessions, with significant fading after the 1st session.
