The most common question! The truth is, PMU is not completely painless, but it’s very manageable. I use a high-quality numbing agent before and during the procedure to ensure you’re as comfortable as possible. Most clients describe the sensation as a light scratching or a mild discomfort rather than actual pain. Everyone’s pain tolerance is different, but I always prioritise your comfort.

Laser removal is a process, and the total time depends on several factors: The depth & saturation of the pigment The type of ink used Your skin’s healing response On average, most clients need 2-6 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart for optimal results. Some lighter PMU may fade with just 1-2 sessions, while darker, more saturated pigment might take longer. I always assess your brows (or treated area) beforehand and provide an estimated timeline based on your specific case.

Healing varies depending on the treatment, but here’s a general breakdown:

For PMU (Brows, Eyeliner, Lips):

Days 1-3: Slight tenderness, possible mild swelling, and the colour appears darker than expected.

Days 4-7: Flaking and light peeling as the skin heals. This is normal—DO NOT pick!

Days 7-14: The colour may appear much lighter as the skin regenerates. This is temporary!

Weeks 4-6: The colour settles into its final shade, and a touch-up is done (if needed) to perfect the result.

For Laser Removal:

Immediately after: Redness, warmth, and slight swelling (similar to a mild sunburn).

Days 2-5: The treated area may scab slightly as the pigment is broken down.

Weeks 2-6: The ink continues to fade as your body flushes out the pigment. Sessions are spaced apart to allow proper healing.

Following proper aftercare is crucial for the best results, and I always provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure your healing is smooth and stress-free.
