We start by planning the project, defining the goals and scope.
Before starting the removal process, you'll have a consultation with a laser Specialist. During this consultation, they will assess your tattoo, discuss your goals, explain the procedure, and address any concerns or questions you may have.
On the day of the procedure, the area around your eyebrows will be cleaned, numbing cream may be applied before the session to minimise discomfort. It's essential to follow any pre-procedure instructions provided by your Specialist. (you will be given this information during the consultation phase).
The removal process involves using a specialised laser that emits high-intensity light pulses. The wavelength of the laser targets the pigment in the tattoo ink while minimising damage to the surrounding skin. The laser breaks down the ink particles into smaller fragments.
After the laser breaks down the ink particles, your body's immune system works to absorb and eliminate them naturally. This process takes time and multiple sessions are usually required to achieve significant fading or complete removal of the tattoo. The number of sessions needed depends on various factors such as the size, colour, and depth of the tattoo, as well as your skin type and the type of ink used.
Following each laser treatment, it's essential to follow the aftercare instructions provided by your specialist. This typically includes keeping the treated area clean and dry, avoiding direct sunlight, applying recommended ointments or creams, and avoiding activities that could irritate the skin.
Your progress will be monitored throughout the treatment process, and adjustments to the treatment plan may be made as needed. It's essential to attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to ensure the best possible outcome.
Over time, you should notice gradual fading of the tattoo. However, complete removal may not always be achievable, especially for tattoos with certain colours or ink types. Your specialist will discuss realistic expectations based on your individual situation.
In some cases, additional treatments such as Saline Removal, surgical excision or dermabrasion may be considered if laser removal is not effective or suitable for your tattoo.
It’s important to choose a qualified and experienced specialist for eyebrow tattoo removal to ensure safety and effectiveness. Be sure to discuss any concerns or questions you have with your specialist before proceeding with the treatment.
Q-switched laser technology is a type of laser system that produces very short bursts of high-energy laser light in the nanosecond range.
Q-switched laser technology is a type of laser system that produces very short bursts of high-energy laser light in the nanosecond range.
The “Q-switched” part of the name refers to a mechanism within the laser that rapidly switches the laser beam on and off, allowing for the accumulation of energy within the laser medium before it is released as a powerful pulse.
Q-switched lasers produce extremely short pulses of laser energy, typically in the nanosecond range. This short pulse duration allows for precise targeting of specific pigments in the skin, such as those found in tattoos.
Q-switched lasers deliver high-energy pulses of light, which are absorbed by the targeted pigment particles in the skin. This energy causes the pigment particles to fragment into smaller particles that can be naturally eliminated by the body's immune system.
Q-switched lasers are designed to selectively target melanin (pigment) in the skin without significantly affecting surrounding tissues. This makes them effective for removing tattoos, and addressing certain types of birthmarks.
Q-switched lasers come in different wavelengths, allowing for the treatment of a variety of tattoo colours. Different wavelengths target different colours of pigment more effectively, making it possible to customise treatments based on the specific needs of the patient.
Q-switched laser treatments typically have minimal downtime compared to older laser technologies, with most patients experiencing only temporary redness, swelling, or mild discomfort after the procedure.
Overall, Q-switched lasers are widely used in dermatology for their ability to effectively remove tattoos.
Approximately 10% of eyebrow hairs can be affected by laser treatment. While efforts are made to move these hairs out of the way during removal, some may still be impacted. In most cases, these hairs eventually grow back, but individual outcomes vary. Temporary lightening of eyebrow hairs may also occur, but you can tint them a week after treatment.
The laser oxidizes the pigment in the skin during treatment, leading to potential color changes. Depending on the pigment, it may darken or shift to an orangey/rusty hue. Once oxidized, the pigment can be addressed in subsequent treatments.
After laser treatment, you may notice frosting and whitening of the pigment immediately. Some pinpoint bleeding and swelling are common as well. Typically, these reactions settle within 1-2 weeks.
We recommend waiting 8-12 weeks after laser treatment before starting additional semi-permanent makeup procedures. The exact duration depends on various factors.
All processes are the same for each removal however time frames are different as they are not usually as bold as full on tattoo removal.
