A Guide to Laser Tattoo Removal for Permanent Makeup Eyebrows & Standard Tattoos


Laser tattoo removal for eyebrows

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 specialize 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, our pico laser minimizes damage to surrounding tissue, reducing the risk of scabbing, bruising, or changes in skin texture.

Laser Tattoo Removal for Eyebrows: What to Expect

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: Many clients see enough lightening after just one session to allow for a cover-up or correction. Others may need 3-4 sessions for full removal.

For body tattoos: Removal can take anywhere from 4-10 sessions, depending on the age, depth, and color of the ink.

We recommend spacing sessions 8 weeks apart to allow your skin to heal and your body to continue clearing the ink. For eyebrow re-tattooing, we advise waiting 12 weeks after the last session to ensure all pigment removal has stabilized.

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 significantly less painful than traditional lasers, and the treatment is quick—typically just a few minutes for eyebrows and a few minutes to half an hour for larger tattoos.

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 with no damage to the follicle.

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. If any hue of color remains, you can easily follow the shape with a brow pencil until your next session or re-tattooing.

How much does it cost?

We currently charge £75 per session of removal on eyebrows. For body tattoo removal please contact us.

Pre-Care & Aftercare for Laser Tattoo Removal

Pre-Treatment Guidelines:

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks before treatment.
  • Do not use self-tanners, retinol, or active exfoliants on the area for one week before treatment.
  • Ensure the area is clean and free from makeup, lotions, or oils before your appointment.
  • Avoid blood-thinning medications and alcohol for 24 hours prior to treatment.

Aftercare Instructions:

  • Keep the area clean and dry for the first 24 hours.
  • Avoid using creams or ointments for 3 days.
  • A cold compress can be used to ease discomfort post treatment.
  • Avoid hot showers, saunas, or swimming pools for at least 48 hours.
  • Apply a soothing balm like aloe vera if needed.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and use SPF 50 sunscreen on the area for the entire healing period.
  • Avoid scratching or picking at the area to prevent irritation.
  • Allow at least 8 weeks between sessions to let your body clear the ink properly.

Common Questions & Concerns

Can I Get My Eyebrows Redone 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.

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.
