Laser Tattoo Removal for Eyebrows, Eyeliner & Lips
If you're no longer happy with your permanent makeup — whether it's faded, misplaced, or simply doesn’t suit you anymore — laser tattoo removal offers a safe, effective solution.
At my clinic in Devon, I specialise in the gentle removal of cosmetic tattoos using advanced laser systems tailored specifically for semi-permanent makeup on delicate facial areas like eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip liner. Whether you want a complete removal or a gentle fade before a new PMU application, we’ll create a plan that suits your goals and skin type.
Whether you’re looking to fill in sparse areas, define your brow shape, or create a realistic and flattering effect, my permanent eyebrow treatments will give you effortless beauty that lasts.
Skip the daily brow pencil and wake up every day with beautiful, well-defined eyebrows that complement your natural features.
With years of experience and a commitment to precision, I customize every treatment to match your unique face shape and style. Your journey to flawless eyebrows starts here!
What Makes Cosmetic Tattoo Removal Different?
Unlike body tattoos, cosmetic pigments are more fragile and lie closer to the surface of the skin. That means they need a lighter touch and a more specialised approach. I use a Q-switched or Pico laser system calibrated for:
I adjust every session based on pigment type, colour depth, and your skin’s unique response to laser.
Areas Treated
I offer laser removal or lightening for:
Eyebrows
Microblading, ombré brows, machine brows
Eyeliner
Upper and lower lids, with full eye protection

Whether you want to start fresh or just prepare for new PMU, I’ll help you make the best decision for your look and skin.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Laser tattoo removal uses pulses of light energy to break down tattoo pigment into microscopic particles. These are gradually cleared by your body’s natural lymphatic system.
Each pigment responds differently:
- Black pigment lifts quickest
- Brown and grey tones take moderate sessions
- Red/pink pigment may require more time
That’s why a consultation and patch test are always performed before treatment.
The Laser Tattoo Removal Process
Every removal journey starts with a consultation. Here's what the process typically includes:
- Patch Test – checks your skin’s response to the laser
- 3–6 Treatment Sessions – spaced 6–8 weeks apart
- Cooling & Numbing Options – to minimise discomfort
- Tailored Aftercare Plan – to support safe healing
Some clients opt for complete removal, while others prefer just enough fading to allow fresh brows or lips to be tattooed over clean skin.
Healing Time and Aftercare
Laser tattoo removal healing time typically looks like this:
- Immediately after: redness, swelling, mild crusting
- 2–3 days: surface healing begins
- 7–10 days: visible healing mostly complete
- 6–8 weeks: full skin regeneration before next session
I’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and support at every step.
Who Is This Service For?
Laser cosmetic tattoo removal is ideal for anyone who:
- Is unhappy with past permanent makeup
- Has pigment that faded, changed colour, or migrated
- Wants to correct shape, tone, or symmetry
- Has developed sensitivity or reactions to older pigment
- Is preparing for new PMU and needs a clean base
No matter your reason, I’ll help you move forward with confidence and care.
What to Expect During Treatment
Each session lasts between 10–30 minutes, depending on the area treated. You may feel a snapping sensation or light heat, but it’s brief and manageable. I use professional cooling systems and topical numbing when needed.
After your session, the skin may appear slightly red or swollen. This is normal and typically subsides within a few days. You’ll leave with full aftercare instructions and my direct support if needed.
