Laser Tattoo Removal

What is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal is a procedure that uses intense bursts of light (lasers) to break down tattoo ink into smaller particles, which are then cleared by the body's natural immune system.

questions and answers

Like any other Laser tattoo removal treatment, the laser light will target and shatter the tattoo ink into smaller particles, slowly breaking down the ink with each treatment. Between treatments, your lymphatic system will gradually help your body flush out the ink, and the color will fade.



How does eyebrow laser tattoo removal work?

Yes, it is safe on the skin and will not affect hair growth. It can be slightly uncomfortable, but the process is quick. Side effects such as redness, tenderness, and swelling can be experienced immediately post-treatment, typically within 24 to 48hs. Due to the type of pigment used in cosmetic tattooing, you may experience some color changes in the ink as it fades.

A patch test is performed on a small area of your tattoo at least 24 hours before your first treatment to evaluate the ink and skin response. The cost of the patch test is $50 and will take place at the end of your complimentary consultation.

How soon can I remove my eyebrow tattoo?

How many treatment sessions will depend on several factors, including ink amount, colour, depth, layers, and desired results. Most people will have at least two and up to eight treatment sessions, six weeks apart.

How many sessions will I need?

The short answer is yes. But although the treatment is safe and effective, the success rate and response can vary according to the type of pigment used in the ink and other factors. Each client needs to be individually assessed by one of our qualified laser practitioners to determine if they will be a good candidate. The treating practitioner will then advise the client on the best course of treatment for their specific needs.

Can the tattoo be removed entirely?

Our experienced and fully qualified laser technicians recommend waiting at least 8-12 weeks after your last laser tattoo removal treatment before having your eyebrows retattooed.

Which lasers do you use to remove tattoos?

  • Keep the area clean and dry for the first 24 hours.
  • Avoid using creams or ointments for 3 days.
  • A cold compress can be used to ease discomfort post treatment.
  • Avoid hot showers, saunas, or swimming pools for at least 48 hours.
  • Apply a soothing balm like aloe vera if needed after 3 days.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF 50 sunscreen on the area for the entire healing period. (8 weeks)
  • Avoid scratching or picking at the area to prevent irritation.
  • Allow at least 8 weeks between sessions to let your body clear the ink properly.

What is the after-care instructions?

It’s a sensitive area, so pre-care is also an important part of eyebrow tattoo removal. Luckily, it’s all fairly straightforward, including things like:

  • No waxing, shaving, threading or exfoliating prior to laser treatment
  • Avoid excessive sun exposure
  • Eat well and drink lots of water before your laser treatment
  • Avoid sun exposure and self tan for at least two weeks before treatment. The skin must not have any sign of a tan when performing laser.
  • Do not use retinol, or active exfoliants on the area for one week before treatment.
  • Please be aware that if you use eyebrow growth serums before your laser removal service, you may experience bruising or swelling post treatment, but this will subside after a few days.
  • Ensure the area is clean and free from makeup, lotions, or oils before your appointment.
  • Avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol for 24 hours prior to treatment

How should I prepare for my appointment?

NO. The Q-switchED Nd YAG does not damage the eyebrow hair or the skin of the brows.

Will the laser burn the eyebrow hairs?

Well, it’s a sensitive area, so you’re likely to feel the treatment a little more than if it was in a non-sensitive part of your body. But modern laser technology is remarkably less painful than ever.
