What is laser tattoo removal?
Laser removal is the most effective method to get rid of unwanted or old tattoos. This includes eyebrow tattoos, lip tattoos, body tattoos, etc.
We are here to proudly announce our laser machine, Q-switch machine, is one of the safest machine in the world and most importantly, we are approved by Health Canada.
You may have heard of alternative methods like chemical solutions, but unfortunately, they often involve numerous chemicals and can lead to side effects. It’s important to note that this approach is not endorsed by Health Canada, and we strongly advise against it for our valued clients.
Is laser treatment painful? How is the procedure?
We have exciting news! We now utilize a potent anesthetic ointment to significantly reduce discomfortduring the procedure. While the laser treatment lasts approximately 5-7 minutes, the entire process, including numbing, can take up to 30 minutes. It’s typical to experience some redness afterward, which typically subsides within a few days with proper eyebrow care. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided below.
How many sessions are required to have the PMU tattoo completely removed?
This is a very common question. After the first treatment, your technician will provide you with an estimated number of laser sessions needed.
It’s interesting that %85 – %100 the pigments we use, will be gone in 1 session only because our pigments are totally chemical free such as lead and iron-oxide.
Normally the old PMU tattoos might take up to 2-3 sessions but depending on the depth and the amount of chemical ingredients used in the previous PMU tattoo inks modify the number of sessions. More resistant tattoos may require a maximum of 5-6 sessions for complete coverage and blending. Keep this in mind if you need anymore laser tattoo removal session, there must be 4 weeks apart. We highly recommend you to wait 8 weeks after your last laser session, once the skin is healed you are more than welcome to receive your fresh, natural microblading. We usually ask the client to book an in-person or a virtual consultation with us so that we can provide more information accordingly.
