PERMANENT MAKEUP REMOVAL

Permanent makeup, also known as semi-permanent makeup (SPMU), has grown in popularity for enhancing natural beauty. It offers long-lasting results, making it convenient for many. However, sometimes circumstances change, and the desire for a fresh start may lead to considering the permanent makeup removal. But is it really possible to remove it?

At Permanent – Microblading S&D, located at 9 Worcester St, Wolverhampton, we offer expert advice and services for permanent makeup removal. This blog will explore whether you can remove permanent makeup and the options available to you.

Can Permanent Makeup Be Removed?

Yes, permanent makeup can be removed! With advancements in technology, there are now several methods to effectively remove PMU brows, eyeliner, or other semi-permanent makeup. The most common and effective option is laser tattoo removal. This method uses specialised lasers to break down the pigment particles in the skin, allowing the body’s natural processes to eliminate them over time.

For those seeking to adjust or completely erase their PMU, removal services are available. While it may take a few sessions depending on factors such as pigment depth and skin type, modern techniques make it possible to restore your natural look or prepare for a new procedure.

Methods of Permanent Makeup Removal

There are various ways to permanent makeup removal, but not all are equally effective. Here are the most common methods:

  • Laser Tattoo Removal: This is the most popular method, especially for eyebrows and eyeliner. The laser breaks down the pigment under the skin, and over time, your body flushes out the ink. It’s considered safe and highly effective, but multiple sessions are typically needed.

  • Saline Tattoo Removal: A solution is injected into the area with a tattoo machine, which pulls the pigment to the skin’s surface. This method is sometimes used for smaller corrections or for those with allergies to laser treatments.

  • Glycolic Acid Removal: Less commonly used, this involves applying an acid solution to the treated area to break down the pigment. It can be effective, but is typically slower and may not work as well as laser tattoo removal.

At S&D Hair and Beauty Studio, we specialise in laser tattoo removal, which is recognised as the safest and most effective method for the removal of PMU. If you’re considering this, our experts are happy to discuss your options during a consultation.

Is PMU Removal Painful?

Removing semi-permanent makeup may cause some discomfort, but it’s generally tolerable. The sensation is often compared to the process of getting a tattoo or microblading. At Permanent – Microblading S&D, we prioritise your comfort during the procedure and offer aftercare advice to ensure smooth healing.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

The number of sessions required for proper permanent makeup removal depends on several factors:

  • Pigment Density: Darker pigments may require more sessions to break down.
  • Skin Type: Sensitive skin may need more time between sessions to heal.
  • Location of the Tattoo: PMU brows or eyebrow tattoos may take fewer sessions than eyeliner, for example.

On average, clients may need between 3 to 8 sessions for complete permanent makeup removal. During your consultation at our Wolverhampton salon, we will assess your individual needs to give you a clearer estimate.

Aftercare for Permanent Makeup Removal

Aftercare is crucial for ensuring optimal results and avoiding complications. Following your laser tattoo removal session, you may experience some redness or swelling, similar to the feeling after getting a tattoo. Here’s how you can take care of the treated area:

  • Keep the area clean and dry: This helps prevent infection.
  • Apply any recommended creams: After a laser tattoo removal session, you’ll be given an aftercare cream to soothe the area.
  • Avoid direct sunlight: Protect the treated area from the sun to prevent hyperpigmentation.

Proper aftercare will ensure your skin heals well and the permanent makeup is removed effectively.
