Laser or Acid Removal?

In some cases, acid solution might work best, in others, laser removal is more effective and sometimes a combination of both is necessary. Choosing the right method depends on the specific situation and the pigments involved.

Different Outcomes for Similar Eyebrow Colors

Two clients with seemingly identical eyebrow colors can have very different removal experiences. One might achieve clear skin in a few sessions, while another may need more extensive treatment. The key is patience and understanding that the process varies for each individual.

Maintaining Healthy Skin During Removal

The most important aspect of the removal process is keeping your skin healthy. Improper techniques can damage the epidermis, remove excessive color and result in scar tissue that is difficult to restore. Proper aftercare and allowing adequate healing time between sessions are essential.

Can You Do a Cover-Up for Eyebrows Instead of Removal?

However, for darker pigments—such as dark blue, grey, green, or red—cover-ups are not advisable. After healing, the old pigment can show through the new color, leading to undesired results or two-toned eyebrows. This complicates future removal efforts and prolongs the process.

Why Can't PMU Be Removed in One Session?

Permanent makeup (PMU) cannot typically be removed in a single session due to the nature of the pigments and their depth in the skin. Multiple sessions ensure safe and effective removal without damaging the skin.

Why Did My Friend's Eyebrows Get Removed Easily, But Mine Didn't?

Even if two people have eyebrows that appear to be the same color, the removal process can vary greatly. Factors such as skin type, the type of pigments used, and individual responses to the removal process all play a role. One client may see results in a few sessions, while another might need up to twelve sessions. There is no one-size-fits-all solution.

Why Did My Eyebrow Color Change to Yellow or Red After Laser?

During a laser removal session, your eyebrows can change to red or yellow primarily because the PMU was done with specific pigments. To avoid it please schedule a consultation and find best solution for your old PMU. This color change is a common as the laser breaks down the pigments. Acid removal treatment can help address the yellow hues effectively. 

Will This Color Stay Forever?

No, the color changes are not permanent. Continued sessions of Laser or Acid removal will help to further remove these pigments.

Why Did My Lips Turn Grey After a Laser Session?

Lips may turn grey after a laser session due to the titanium dioxide content in the pigments. It's important to conduct a patch test before the laser session to anticipate any adverse reactions. Acid removal is a safer treatment option for lips, as it doesn't cause color changes.
