Unsatisfied With Your PMU?

If you’re unhappy with your existing permanent makeup, we provide safe and effective removal options to help you start fresh. PMU removal gradually lightens or removes unwanted pigment with care and precision.

 

The most common methods include saline removal, laser removal, and acid-based removal. These techniques lift or break down pigment over a series of sessions, and your body clears the color naturally during healing.

 

Because your skin needs time to recover between sessions, the full removal process may take several months depending on pigment depth, color, and age. During your consultation, we assess your skin and recommend the safest and most effective removal method for your needs.
