Permanent
Makeup Laser Removal for Brows and Lips

Permanent makeup laser removal targets suitable cosmetic tattoo pigment in the brows or lips. The clinician assesses pigment colour, depth, skin tone, and the treatment area before selecting the Alma Harmony XL PRO settings. Vitiligo treatment is not part of this service.

How it works

Targets pigment while preserving brow hair and skin

We use the Alma Harmony XL PRO with a Q-Switched Nd:YAG handpiece. This laser emits extremely short nanosecond pulses that deliver photoacoustic energy into the ink. The shockwave breaks pigment clusters into tiny fragments without relying on heat to the same degree as many other devices. Your immune system then clears these fragments over time through natural lymphatic processes. We select 1064 nm for darker inks and deeper pigment, and 532 nm for red, orange, and warm tones often found in cosmetic brow pigments. Brow hair is protected with cooling and technique, though temporary lightening of hair can occur. A patch test is often performed, especially for iron-oxide pigments that can initially darken; technique adjustments and wavelength selection help manage this. Protective eye shields are used, and parameters are customised to your skin type (Fitzpatrick I–VI), pigment depth, and treatment goals.

Precise clearance with minimal downtime and tailored control

Precise on-brow targeting
Q-Switched wavelengths focus on ink particles while preserving surrounding skin and natural brow hair.
Efficient, short sessions
High-energy, ultra-short pulses mean quick appointments and focused passes on problem areas.
Low discomfort
Cooling and very brief pulses help keep the procedure tolerable for most people.
Minimal downtime
Typical after-effects are brief redness, swelling, or frosting that settle within 24–72 hours.
Adjustable fading: partial or full
We can lighten gradually, stop when you like the tone, or continue to full removal.
Dual wavelengths for more colours
1064 nm targets dark pigments; 532 nm helps with red and warm tones common in PMU.

Treatment plan

Steady fading in focused sessions spaced for best clearance

Most clients need 3–8 sessions for microblading or cosmetic brow tattoos; older or deeper inks may require more. Sessions are typically spaced 6–8 weeks apart to let your body clear fragmented pigment and to reduce the risk of irritation. Each visit usually takes 15–30 minutes, including cooling and aftercare. Before treatment: avoid sun, tanning products, and brow tinting for 2 weeks; stop acids/retinoids on the area 5–7 days prior; arrive with clean skin and no makeup on brows. After treatment: cool compresses as needed, keep the area clean and dry for the first day, avoid makeup on the brows for 24–48 hours, no picking or scratching, skip hot tubs/saunas and swimming for 48–72 hours, and apply a gentle moisturiser as directed. Use SPF 50 daily and limit sun for 2–4 weeks. Temporary frosting, redness, swelling, or light crusting can occur and usually settles within days. Brow hairs can turn slightly lighter temporarily; normal growth resumes and tinting can be considered after the skin has settled, usually in 1–2 weeks.
