Before & After
Permanent Makeup Removal Results
Permanent makeup removal uses Picoway® laser to break up the pigment particles in the skin, which are then naturally removed by the body’s immune system. The laser emits pulses of light that are absorbed by the pigment particles in the skin, causing them to break down into smaller particles.
The process is similar to the way that laser tattoo removal works. However, permanent makeup is less dense and deep than tattoos, which can make the removal process easier and faster!
How do I know
if I need a microshading revision or removal?
Determining whether you need permanent makeup removal or a revision will depend on a few factors:
- Fading or discoloration:Â If your permanent makeup has faded or changed color over time, a permanent makeup revision may be necessary to touch up the pigment and restore the desired shade. However, if you no longer want the permanent makeup at all, removal may be the best option.
- Incorrect shape or placement:Â If the shape or placement of your permanent makeup is not what you had in mind, a revision may be necessary to correct the mistake. However, if you no longer want the makeup at all, removal may be a better choice.
