Accepted Answer

Yes, we specialize in safely removing cosmetic eyebrow pigments using precise laser technology without damaging the skin.

Accepted Answer

Cosmetic tattoos often require fewer sessions than body tattoos, typically ranging from 2 to 5 sessions depending on the ink used.

You should wait until the skin is fully healed and any crusting has resolved before applying makeup to the area.

Question 36

Is eyeliner tattoo removal safe for the eyes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we use specialized medical-grade ocular shields to completely protect your eyes during the procedure.

Question 37

Does eyeliner removal hurt?

Accepted Answer

Your eyelashes may temporarily turn white or fall out, but they will grow back naturally following their normal growth cycle.

Question 39

How long is the downtime?

Accepted Answer

You can expect swelling and redness for a few days. We recommend resting your eyes and applying cold compresses.

Question 40

How many sessions are needed?

Accepted Answer

Eyeliner ink is usually placed superficially, so it often takes only 2 to 4 sessions for significant fading.

Question 41

Can you remove lip liner tattoos?

Accepted Answer

Yes, however, lip pigments often contain titanium dioxide which can darken when lasered. A test spot is always performed first.

Question 42

What is the difference between body and cosmetic ink?

Accepted Answer

Cosmetic inks are often blends of various pigments (like iron oxides) and are placed shallower in the skin compared to body tattoo ink.

Can I get new permanent makeup after removal?

Accepted Answer

Yes, once the skin has fully healed from your final laser session (usually 8-12 weeks), you can have new makeup applied.

Question 45

Will the removal process cause scarring?

Accepted Answer

Our advanced Pico technology specifically targets the pigment, leaving the surrounding tissue largely unaffected, minimizing scar risk.

Question 46

What is laser skin rejuvenation?

Accepted Answer

It uses targeted light energy to stimulate collagen, improve texture, and reduce signs of aging and sun damage.

How many sessions do I need?

Accepted Answer

A series of 3 to 6 sessions is generally recommended for the best, most long-lasting results.

Question 52

Will the spots come back?

Accepted Answer

Treated spots typically do not return, but new ones can form if you do not practice strict sun protection.

Question 53

What happens to the spots immediately after treatment?

Accepted Answer

They may temporarily darken and look like coffee grounds before naturally sloughing off after a few days.

Question 54

Can I treat hyperpigmentation on my hands?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the hands, chest, and face are the most common and effectively treated areas for hyperpigmentation.

Question 55

Can laser cure melasma?

Accepted Answer

Melasma cannot be cured, but it can be effectively managed and significantly lightened with the right laser protocols.

Why is melasma harder to treat than sun spots?

Accepted Answer

Melasma is often hormonally driven and triggered by heat and UV exposure, requiring very gentle, low-heat laser approaches.

We often use PicoLasers or gentle fractional lasers that break up pigment without generating excessive heat that could trigger a flare-up.

Question 61

How does laser treat active acne?

Accepted Answer

Lasers target and destroy acne-causing bacteria and reduce the inflammation of active sebaceous glands.

Question 62

Does it help with acne scars too?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the heat from the laser also stimulates collagen, which helps to smooth and fill in depressed acne scars.

Question 63

Is it painful?

Accepted Answer

It is generally well-tolerated, often described as a warm, snapping sensation. Cooling is used to ensure comfort.

Question 64

Can I use my acne creams while getting laser treatments?
