Eyeliner Tattoo Removal Melbourne

Nowadays, there are three methods to eliminate cosmetic tattoos: laser, remover, and micro pigmentation. These methods are used to erase winged lines from the upper and lower eyelids, as well as permanent makeup that is applied in between the lashes.

Because laser tattoo removal is non-invasive, safe, and practical, it is now the most recommended method for eliminating ‘lifelong makeup’ from the eyelids.

The surface of the eyelids is treated with a chemical remover. After penetrating the skin’s layers, it causes a biochemical reaction that eventually brings out the tattoo pigment.

• After laser exposure, pigment nanoparticles are removed through the lymphatic particle and, when removed with a remover, through the surface layers of the skin;
• Unlike a remover, a laser does not damage the skin (no risk of scarring). It only affects the pigment, breaking it into nanoparticles;
• After laser exposure, a crust does not form on the eyelid;
• There is no guidance on aftercare after the laser procedure;
• The remover is not suitable for treating the interlash space.

Regarding the benefits of the remover, its primary advantage is its ability to effectively remove tattoos of all shades—including light and red ones—as soon as they are applied.

Micropigmentation is another way to ‘remove’ unwanted tattoos or permanent eyeliner makeup. Unlike other methods, micropigmentation does not avoid problems after eye tattooing. The main component of the procedure is not removing coloured pigment from the skin’s surface but instead injecting new body pigment over the previously applied pigment.

The primary drawback of this method is that, when exposed to sunlight, the pigmented area lightens, and white spots appear. Compared to a laser procedure, micro pigmentation can be considered a compromise, a short-term, and sometimes ineffective solution.

When removing permanent makeup, it is impossible to indicate a generalised number of sessions required because each case is individual.

How often you need to have laser tattoo removal is influenced by:

• Type of pigments used;
• Application method;
• Pigment insertion depth;
• Pigment colour.

For example, light shades are more difficult to remove than dark ones, as is an old tattoo compared to a relatively fresh one. As practice shows, fresh permanent eyelid and eyebrow makeup can be removed in a couple of visits. But an old tattoo that has changed its colour is removed no faster than in 5 sessions or longer.

Today, modern neodymium lasers are a huge success in the industry. They do an excellent job of removing pigments of any colour and also adapt to different depths of the injected pigment.

Permanent eyelid makeup, unlike tattooing, is performed using natural pigment. Also, the permanent pigment is not injected as deep into the layers of the skin as tattoo ink. Both bright and dark permanent makeup can be effectively removed with the laser.

Previously, ruby and alexandrite lasers were used for this purpose. With the development of technology, cosmetology centres are increasingly choosing effective neodymium lasers, which allow the removal of pigments of different colours at different depths.

It is crucial to refrain from using makeup containing alcohol for several days before a tattoo removal session. As a rule, there are no other pre-procedure recommendations.

• A numbing ointment is applied to the eyelid, which reduces the sensitivity of the skin;
• The client puts on special safety glasses that will protect the eyes during the procedure;
• Then, the doctor treats the area of permanent makeup with a laser beam;
• The laser beam acts exclusively on the pigment, breaking it into nanoparticles;
• Gradually, the pigment particles are eliminated from the body along with the lymph;
• One session takes up to 10 minutes.
