How Does PErmanent Makeup Removal work?

The Enlighten laser has been used for decades to remove tattoos. This cutting-edge technology is also an effective non-invasive scalp micropigmentation and permanent makeup removal treatment, removing brow tattoos, eyeliners, and lip liner tattoos. The laser uses wavelengths to revitalize, resurface, and remodel skin to address scars, skin texture, skin quality, pigmented lesions, and pores on all skin types.

How is the laser the most advanced tattoo and permanent makeup removal treatment?

The laser combines three fully-integrated highly effective wavelengths (1064 nm, 670 nm, and 532 nm) with longer (2 nanoseconds) and shorter (750/660 picoseconds) pulses. The laser’s picotechnology generates heat 1,000 times faster than nano-technology for more powerful laser energy, separating the pigments into much smaller minuscule particles, which can be absorbed more quickly and excreted from the body. 

The wavelengths and pulse speeds shatter tattoos, scalp micropigmentation, and permanent makeup in the most appropriate way for each particular pigment while effectively removing all colors. The laser is gentle, effective, and quickly removes unwanted tattoos and permanent makeup while improving overall skin quality. Enlighten can remove tattoos and permanent makeup more thoroughly and in fewer treatments (usually half the number of treatments) than other tattoo and permanent makeup removal technologies, regardless of the colors, size, body area, and skin type. 

Is the laser treatment painful?

You may experience a sensation of rubber snapping against your skin. We offer topical anesthetics to minimize discomfort. 

Will my skin scar?

Enlighten laser reduces thermal collateral damage to the surrounding tissues. This treatment offers the safest, most advanced, and most effective laser treatment, scalp micropigmentation, and permanent makeup removal option for all skin types. Sometimes, patients experience scarring where the original tattoo, scalp micropigmentation, or permanent makeup were applied. However, Enlighten laser treatment does not scar. 

What is the recovery time?

You may experience some redness and swelling immediately following the treatment. These side effects are temporary and your skin will completely heal over time. There is no downtime, so you can return to regular activities immediately following the treatment. 

Why are multiple treatments necessary?

Permanent makeup and tattoos are deposited deep within the skin. Depth, size, and color of the tattoo, permanent makeup, and scalp micropigmentation impact the number of treatments needed. During your consultation, your professional will help you assess how many treatments may be necessary.
