Permanent makeup such as microbladed brows, powder brows, fake freckles, beauty marks, overlined lip liner, and permanent eyeliner has recently gained popularity. Although many people love the convenience, sometimes it’s not the look you were going for – either the shape or color is not quite right. And with permanent makeup tattoos, it’s very common that the color changes over time and becomes something you no longer like.
Permanent makeup uses different inks than traditional tattooing, and it uses different techniques to place the ink – and because of that, it’s less predictable to treat – and due to some of the ingredients in the inks, it can be much riskier to treat (higher chances of scarring in place or changing color – typically it goes from red or brown to black). For this reason, you really want to see someone who specializes in this particular type of tattoo removal. Only Dr. Chasin performs this service at our practice. He is world-renowned for his cosmetic tattoo removal knowledge and skill.
Permanent Makeup Removal Quick Facts
- Most permanent makeup can be removed
- $200 – $450 per session (generally fewer sessions than traditional laser tattoo removal)
- Similar downtime to when the ink was placed (a little redness and swelling for a few days)
- We can safely remove eyeliner, brows, freckles or beauty marks, and some lips (overlined)
- Safe for all skin types and tones
Permanent Makeup Removal Is the Most Complex & Risky Type of Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser tattoo removal is the only way to get rid of permanent makeup that has turned out poorly – and this laser removal process is quite risky due to the inks typically used and the lack of standardization in how the tattoo is placed into the skin. For permanent makeup removal, you truly only want a specialist to even try to remove it.
