Permanent Makeup Removal with Pico Laser

Permanent Makeup (PMU): What is it?

Permanent Makeup, often referred to as cosmetic tattooing, involves techniques where color pigments are permanently applied to the upper layers of the skin to enhance eyebrows, eyeliner, or lip liner. This treatment offers a long-term solution for daily makeup routines but can also present challenges if the result does not meet expectations or if fashion preferences change over time.

Challenges in Permanent Makeup Removal

The removal of Permanent Makeup is often more difficult than that of traditional tattoos, as facial skin is more sensitive and the pigments used are specific for cosmetic purposes. Before deciding on removal, the colors used and the depth of pigmentation should be known to select the appropriate method and minimize risks.

Methods for Permanent Makeup Removal

One of the most modern and effective techniques for PMU removal is the use of Pico laser. These lasers use extremely short pulses that break down pigments more effectively and gently than traditional lasers. Here are some advantages of using picosecond lasers:

High Efficiency: Fewer sessions are needed compared to older laser techniques.
Less Pain: Due to the fast and precise operation of picosecond lasers, most patients experience less pain during the treatment.
Faster Healing: The short pulses reduce the risk of skin damage and allow for faster healing.

Laser PMU Removal Procedure

The removal of Permanent Makeup using laser is a precise process that includes the following steps:

Consultation: All treatment details are discussed here, including the number of sessions required and aftercare.
The Treatment: During the session, protective measures such as eye protection are taken. The duration of the treatment varies depending on the area to be removed.
Aftercare: Immediately after the treatment, the treated area may be swollen or red. It is important to keep the skin cool and avoid direct sun exposure.

What to consider after treatment?

After the treatment, it is crucial to protect the skin from sunlight and use a special wound healing cream to promote regeneration and prevent infections. It may also be recommended to keep the treated area dry and clean for a few days.

“This year, we have seen a significant increase in permanent makeup removal, far more than in the past two years combined. The rising demand reflects a growing awareness and dissatisfaction with long-term cosmetic decisions. Patients are increasingly seeking safe and effective solutions to reverse previous aesthetic procedures.”

What is Permanent Makeup and how is it applied?

Permanent Makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing, involves the application of color pigments into the upper layers of the skin.

It serves to permanently define and enhance features such as eyebrows, eyeliner, or lip liner. This technique saves daily makeup time and helps maintain a consistently well-groomed appearance.

There can be various reasons to remove Permanent Makeup: dissatisfaction with the color or shape, changes in personal style, or uneven fading over time.

Additionally, correction of improperly applied Permanent Makeup may become necessary to restore a more natural look.

How does Permanent Makeup removal with a picosecond laser work?

The picosecond laser works with extremely short laser pulses that break down the pigments of the Permanent Makeup.

These particles are then naturally broken down by the body.

This makes the method more efficient and gentler on the skin than traditional laser treatments, leading to less pain and requiring fewer treatment sessions.

What are the advantages of a picosecond laser over other laser technologies?

The Picosecond laser offers several advantages: It is more precise, minimizing damage to surrounding skin, and its short pulses reduce the risk of thermal damage.

This leads to more effective pigment destruction with less pain and faster healing. Furthermore, fewer sessions are usually needed to achieve the desired result.
