If you’re considering laser tattoo removal—whether for permanent makeup eyebrows or a body tattoo—you likely have questions about the process, effectiveness, and what to expect. At Rebecca Jaynes, we specialise in advanced laser removal using a pico laser, known for its superior ability to break down pigment with minimal impact on the skin.
Why Choose Pico Laser for Tattoo Removal?
The pico laser is one of the most effective and gentle methods for removing both body tattoos and permanent makeup. It works by delivering ultra-short pulses of laser energy to break down tattoo ink into tiny particles that are naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system.
For permanent makeup eyebrows, the pico laser removes pigment quickly and efficiently, with many clients seeing significant fading after just one session. Unlike older laser technologies, pico lasers minimise damage to surrounding tissue, reducing the risk of scabbing, bruising, or changes in skin texture.
Laser Tattoo Removal for Eyebrows: FAQs
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions required varies depending on factors like ink depth, color, and skin type. Typically:
For permanent makeup eyebrows or microblading: Many clients see a huge amount of lightening after just one session with many only requiring one session to reach the desired outcome. Others may need 3-4 sessions for full removal.
We recommend spacing sessions 8 weeks apart to allow your skin to heal and your body to continue clearing the ink. If you would like your eyebrows re-tattooing, we advise waiting 12 weeks after the last session to ensure all pigment removal has stabilised.
Does Laser tattoo removal Hurt?
Most clients describe the sensation as a mild stinging or heat similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. The pico laser is less painful than traditional lasers, and the treatment is quick—typically just a few minutes for eyebrows.
What Happens to My Eyebrow Hair?
A common concern is whether laser tattoo removal affects eyebrow hair. With our pico laser, you may notice temporary frosting on the hairs, but this resolves quickly, and your natural hair color returns within a few days with no damage to the follicle. In fact, it can sometimes stimulate more hair growth due to the micro trauma to the skin during treatment.
The darker the natural hair to begin with, the more likely it is to ‘frost’ (turn white) So, if you have a regular tint on your brows, it’s a good idea to allow the tint to wear off before the laser treatment ensuring your brows are as light as possible.
For those clients that wish to have the ink removed permanently and go on to having natural brow treatments such as lamination or HD Brows, the brows can be tinted, waxed and laminated from 2 weeks post laser treatment.
Will My Brows Look Strange During the Healing Process?
Immediately after treatment, the area may look slightly red or swollen, and some clients experience temporary frosting of the skin. However, because we rarely see scabbing or bruising with our method, most clients can wear makeup the next day.
You may experience the ink ‘flipping’ or changing colour which can happen immediately after. The brows can turn orange or yellow before removing fully.
How much does it cost?
We currently charge £75 per session of removal on eyebrows. For body tattoo removal please contact us.
Will the colour lighten straight away or change colour?
Each service can be quite unique depending on the type of ink, the depth of implantation and the amount of ink in the skin. In many cases the colour lightens almost entirely and immediately during the first session. In others the colour may shift to a red, or yellow before removing fully.
Can I Get My Eyebrows Re-tattooed Right Away?
No—after your final removal session, you must wait at least 12 weeks before having new permanent makeup applied. This ensures the skin is fully healed and that no residual ink remains that could interfere with the new pigment. Brows can be laminated or tinted 2 weeks post laser treatment.
Can You Remove Just a Part of My Eyebrow Tattoo?
Yes! We can target specific areas of the tattoo for partial removal or reshaping. However we will often recommend full removal/lightening for optimal results.
Will My Skin Scar?
With the pico laser, scarring is extremely rare. Our technique minimizes damage to surrounding tissue, reducing the risk of scarring compared to older laser systems.
What If My Tattoo Is Deep or Multi-Colored?
Dark, black, and blue inks respond best to laser removal, while lighter colors like yellow and green can take longer to break down. If your tattoo is multi-layered (has been reworked multiple times), you may need extra sessions. Yellow will not remove with laser removal.
Pre and Post care Instructions for eyebrow tattoo removal?
Pre-Treatment:
- Avoid sun exposure and self tan for at least two weeks before treatment. The skin must not have any sign of a tan when performing laser.
- Do not use retinol, or active exfoliants on the area for one week before treatment.

Aftercare Instructions:
- Keep the area clean and dry for the first 24 hours.
- Avoid using creams or ointments for 3 days.

- Apply a soothing balm like aloe vera if needed after 3 days.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF 50 sunscreen on the area for the entire healing period. (8 weeks)
