Permanent Makeup Laser Removal - Eyebrows

---

The number of sessions depends on the type of pigment, how deeply it was applied, your skin type, and how your body responds to laser treatments. On average:

• Microblading & Nano Brows: 2–4 sessions
• Powder/Ombre Brows: 3–5 sessions
• Tattooed Eyebrows: 5–8+ sessions
   

We’ll review your unique brow type during your Free Consultation and create a personalized plan, so you’ll know what to expect at every step.

We use the Astanza Duality Signature laser, one of the most trusted technologies in professional cosmetic tattoo removal. Its dual wavelengths (1064 nm & 532 nm) precisely target the pigment, breaking it into tiny particles that your body naturally clears over time.

Different brow types respond uniquely:

• Microblading & Nano Brows fade gradually with each session.
• Powder/Ombre Brows may temporarily change color, often turning warm tones like red or orange after the first session, then shifting to gray or ashy tones after the second session. In rare cases, stubborn yellow hues can persist but typically resolve after multiple treatments.
• Tattooed Eyebrows behave like traditional tattoos and usually require more sessions to fully fade.
   

Here at New Leaf, your natural eyebrow hairs are safe. Our advanced laser system is designed to target only pigment in the skin - not the hair follicle structure itself. When performed with the right technology, treatments focus on breaking down pigment while helping protect the surrounding skin and natural brow hair. 

Some temporary lightening or singeing of brow hair can occasionally occur during treatment, but hair typically regrows as normal.

Protecting skin integrity and natural hair is a priority throughout the removal process.

For cosmetic tattoo removal, treatments are spaced a minimum of 6+ weeks apart, with many clients benefiting from 8+ weeks apart depending on healing and skin type.

While the laser breaks down pigment during your appointment, your body needs time to clear that pigment in the weeks that follow. Allowing adequate spacing supports more effective fading and helps protect delicate facial skin.

Treating before the skin has fully healed will not improve results and can actually slow progress, leading to additional sessions overall. Proper timing is an important part of achieving safe, gradual correction.

Most permanent makeup pigments can be fully removed or significantly lightened. Results depend on pigment type, depth, PMU age, and your body’s immune response. Some clients choose to lighten brows for correction or retouching rather than full removal. 

Temporary color shifts are a normal part of the removal process. Powder/ombre brows typically go through a chemical reaction during the initial treatment and appear as a lighter, warm-toned color. These changes are not permanent and will continue to fade naturally with subsequent sessions. Light makeup may be applied between treatments after several days of successful healing.

Yes, permanent makeup brow removal at New Leaf is safe for all skin types with the Astanza Duality Signature laser. We customize our laser settings for different skin tones and use our Zimmer Cryo Cooling system throughout treatment to protect the skin, minimize heat, and ensure a comfortable experience. 

Proper aftercare is essential for safe healing and optimal results. After each session, follow these steps:

• Keep brows clean and dry – Avoid makeup or skincare products on the area for 7–10 days.
• Protect from the sun – Wear a hat, visor, or sunglasses to prevent direct UV exposure and use sunscreen after 7-10 days of healing.
• No swimming or submerging – Skip pools, saunas/steam rooms, hot tubs, and the ocean during the first week of healing.
• Let the skin heal naturally – Avoid picking, scratching, or peeling any flakes.
• Follow our guidance – We provide detailed aftercare instructions at every visit.
   

Following these steps helps your brows heal safely, reduces the risk of complications, and ensures the best possible results.
