Permanent make up removal

What is permanent makeup?

With permanent makeup, a tattoo is essentially applied to your skin, making it look as if you’re always wearing makeup. The pigment is applied to the top layer of your skin, unlike a real tattoo, where the pigment is placed deeper into the skin. This means that the permanent makeup may fade or discolor over time.

You may have had permanent makeup applied but aren’t entirely happy with it afterward. For example, because it wasn’t applied properly or because the color is different than expected. Fortunately, you can easily remove your botched permanent makeup with laser treatment.

When should you have permanent makeup removed?

There may be several reasons to have your PMU removed. Common reasons include:

  • ​The permanent makeup wasn't applied properly
  • The color has faded (red, gray, or blue)
  • This shape no longer suits your face
  • The PMU doesn't meet your expectations
  • Old PMU prevents the installation of new PMU

Whatever the reason, permanent makeup can be safely removed, provided it is done properly.

Do you want to get rid of your unwanted PMU eyebrows as soon as possible? Have your have your permanent makeup safely and effectively removed at New Skin Laserclinic.

​Removing Permanent Makeup: What Methods Are Available?

​❌ Removing permanent makeup yourself

It is sometimes believed that you can remove permanent makeup yourself using, for example, lemon or a scrub, but we strongly advise against this. Home treatments, creams, or abrasive methods can lead to:

  • scars
  • infections
  • permanent skin damage

Without the pigment actually disappearing.

​⚠️ Removing permanent makeup with saline solution

It is possible to remove permanent makeup using a saline solution (saline removal). This is generally a safe procedure, but please keep the following points in mind:

  • Higher risk of infection
  • Does not completely remove the pigment
  • Less effective on deep or old pigmentation
  • Longer recovery time
  • Less effective than laser

If used incorrectly, this method can cause more harm than good.

✅ Laser removal of PMU (most effective)

The safest and most effective method for removing permanent makeup is with a laser. This process breaks down the pigment into tiny particles, which the body then eliminates on its own. You can see effective results after just a few treatments, without any scarring or skin damage.

At New Skin Laserclinic, we use the Fotona FracTAT technique and an Nd:YAG laser to remove permanent makeup. This allows us to treat everyone safely and effectively.

Ik ben ontzettend tevreden over mijn behandelingen bij deze kliniek! Vanaf het eerste intakegesprek voelde ik me meteen op mijn gemak. Er werd uitgebreid de tijd genomen om alles uit te leggen, waardoor ik goed wist wat ik kon verwachten. Het team is ontzettend vriendelijk, professioneel en denkt echt met je mee. Ik kon altijd snel terecht voor afspraken en de communicatie verloopt prettig. De locatie is daarnaast mooi, schoon en verzorgd, wat de ervaring alleen maar fijner maakt. Ik zit inmiddels aan het einde van mijn tattoo laserbehandeling en ben echt ontzettend blij met het resultaat. Ik had vooraf niet verwacht dat mijn tatoeages zo goed zouden vervagen. Ik kan deze kliniek dan ook van harte aanbevelen aan iedereen die op zoek is naar een professionele en betrouwbare plek voor tattoo removal!

In het begin dacht ik dat het niet werkte omdat ik vrij weinig verschil zag na de eerste behandeling. Maar zodra we bij de 3e behandelingen kwamen zag ik echt al goed verschil! Ben echt blij met het resultaat. Het heeft uiteindelijk 9 behandelingen nodig gehad om de tattoo helemaal weg te krijgen. Maar het was het allemaal waard!
