Laser removal of permanent makeup - Belgrade - dr Marija Bošković

Remove black, grey, red and yellow pigments from the eyebrows, permanent makeup from the lips and eyelids, or old scalp micropigmentation, with a medical assessment and a combination of the Picolo Premium and HELIOS 785 lasers. At our practice we also treat the most demanding pigments that cannot be removed with standard lasers.

Which areas do we treat with laser permanent makeup removal?

Laser eyebrow removal is most often requested by women whose eyebrow shape has become too thick, too dark or asymmetrical, or no longer follows the natural brow line. Another common reason is eyebrows that have changed colour over the years to grey, blue, red or orange, as well as several layers of pigment built up by repeated corrections.

The laser can be used to remove or lighten various eyebrow permanent makeup techniques:

  1. microblading, hand-drawn hair strokes made with fine cuts;
  2. powder brows and ombre brows, shading with gradual intensity;
  3. combination or hybrid brows, a mix of hair strokes and shading;
  4. machine hairstrokes and nano brows, machine-drawn hair strokes;
  5. old block eyebrows and repeatedly corrected eyebrows with several layers of pigment.

Laser eyebrow removal: price

The price depends on the width and length of the pigmented area, the amount of colour, the number of layers and whether the whole eyebrow is being removed or only the tails, the head or part of an incorrect shape. The price of a treatment is 6,000 RSD. The exact price and plan are given after an examination or an online assessment of a clear photo without makeup or filters.

Permanent lip makeup includes lip liner, shading, full lips, lip blush and aquarelle lips techniques. Removal is considered when the contour has gone beyond the natural lip line, the colour has become cold or uneven, the shape is asymmetrical, or when several layers make a natural correction impossible.

The lip area has a rich blood supply and is prone to swelling, so the reaction can be more pronounced than on the eyebrows. Red, pink, orange, white and nude pigments require special caution because of possible paradoxical darkening. If you have ever had cold sores (herpes) on your lips, you must tell the doctor, as the laser procedure can be a trigger, and any antiviral protection is prescribed only by the doctor.

If paradoxical darkening has already occurred during laser removal elsewhere and the pigment has changed colour, for example turned green, this does not mean that the removal process ends there. In such cases, at dr Marija Bošković’s practice we use the HELIOS 785 PICO, which makes it possible to treat these changed, demanding pigments as well.

If you are planning hyaluronic fillers, the recommended order is to complete the pigment removal first and then, after full recovery and the doctor’s assessment, have the augmentation. The laser can also be considered if filler is already present, but the swelling may be more pronounced and the plan must be individual.

Price of laser removal of permanent lip makeup

The price of a treatment at dr Marija Bošković’s practice is 9,000 RSD.

Permanent eyeliner can be a thin line along the lashes, lash enhancement, a classic line with a wing, or shaded eyeliner. Removal in this area requires the highest level of caution, because the pigment sits right next to the eye and the skin of the eyelids is very thin. At our practice this procedure is performed exclusively by a doctor, with intraocular protection.

Before the treatment, the doctor assesses the exact position of the pigment, the condition of the eyelids and the eye, previous procedures and whether appropriate eye protection can be applied. The treatment is performed only if the area can be safely protected and if the position of the pigment allows it. Pigment on the waterline or very close to the mucous membrane may require a different decision or be unsuitable for laser treatment.

Price of permanent eyelid makeup removal

The price of laser removal of permanent makeup from the eyelids is 12,000 RSD.

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) imitates closely shaved hair follicles on the scalp. When the dots become too large, bluish or uneven, or the desired hairline changes, laser removal or lightening should be considered. Because of the proximity of the follicles, the thin skin and the great visual importance of the hairline, the treatment is done gradually and with a precise assessment by the doctor at our practice.

What does laser removal of permanent makeup look like at dr Marija Bošković's practice?

Consultation and medical examination

Dr Marija examines the area, the colour and depth of the pigment, the condition of the skin and previous corrections. It is important to tell us when the permanent makeup was done and whether it has previously been treated with a laser or a chemical remover.

Defining the goal of the treatment

We agree on whether you want complete removal of the permanent makeup, removal of only one part, or lightening of the old pigment so that a new shape can be done later.

Photographing the initial condition

We photograph the area before the treatment so that we can follow changes in the colour and amount of pigment between sessions.

Colour assessment and choice of laser

Red eyebrow pigment is treated with the Picolo Premium laser, while for yellow residues we use the HELIOS 785. With mixed pigments, the laser and wavelength may change during the process.

Test pulse when needed

For pink, nude, white and other pigments that may change colour, we first treat a very small area. Only after we see the reaction do we decide whether and how to continue.

Protecting the sensitive area

When removing permanent eyeliner, after appropriate preparation the doctor places intraocular protective shields. Without complete eye protection the treatment is not performed.

Laser treatment

The pigment is treated with controlled pulses and parameters adapted to the colour, depth and area. We do not try to speed up removal with overly aggressive work, because preserving the skin is just as important as lightening the pigment.

Aftercare and follow-up

After the treatment you receive precise care instructions and information about the reactions you can expect. The next treatment is scheduled only once the skin has fully recovered and the doctor sees a stable colour of the remaining pigment.

How many treatments are needed to remove permanent makeup?

On average, three to four treatments are planned, but this is not a rule for every person. A single, shallowly placed colour may respond faster, while repeatedly corrected eyebrows, mixed pigments, skin-tone camouflage and deeply placed PMU may require more sessions or a change of strategy.

Permanent makeup treatments at the practice are usually done at intervals of about four weeks. The doctor may extend the interval if the reaction was more pronounced, if the colour is still changing or if the skin has not fully recovered. The next treatment is not done according to the calendar if the skin is not ready.

How to care for the skin after permanent makeup removal?

Redness, tenderness and mild swelling are expected immediately after the treatment. On the lips and eyelids the swelling can be more pronounced. The colour may look darker, lighter or warmer than before the treatment until the reaction stabilises.

Does permanent makeup removal hurt?

The laser treatment is short and takes up to half an hour, but the areas of the face can be sensitive. The sensation our patients describe is a mild, quick stinging and warmth. Cooling and, when needed and safe, local anaesthesia help make the procedure more tolerable. After treatment of the lips, tightness and throbbing are felt more often, while the eyebrows usually have a milder and shorter reaction.

Price of laser removal of permanent makeup

The price depends on the area, the surface, the amount and layers of pigment, and whether the whole zone or only part of an incorrect shape is being treated. For laser removal of eyebrows, lips or other permanent makeup, you receive the exact price after a consultation or an assessment of a clear photo without makeup or filters.

When comparing prices, it is important to ask who assesses the pigment, which laser is used, whether a test pulse is done for risky colours, how the sensitive area is protected and who monitors the recovery. With permanent makeup, the quality of the assessment is often more important than the speed of the treatment itself.

Which laser do we use to remove permanent makeup at the practice?

Picolo Premium 1064/532 nm

Picolo Premium is a picosecond laser with wavelengths of 1064 and 532 nm. Removal of black and dark pigments is usually planned with the 1064 nm wavelength, while 532 nm plays an important role for red, orange and certain warmer shades. Which wavelength will be used, and whether it will change during the series of treatments, is decided according to the pigment’s reaction.

HELIOS 785 PICO

HELIOS 785 combines 785, 1064 and 532 nm on a single platform. The 785 nm wavelength is highly specific for pigment and allows precise treatment of demanding shades with minimal effect on the surrounding tissue and haemoglobin.

It particularly expands the possibilities for treating blue, green and other stubborn pigments, as well as colour residues that may become visible only after other components of the pigment have been removed. We also use HELIOS in certain cases of paradoxical colour change after previous treatments, including pigments that have turned green.

In combination with the Picolo Premium laser, the doctor can change the technology and wavelength during the process according to which colour remains visible after the previous session.

Why choose dr Marija Bošković's practice for permanent makeup removal?

Frequently asked questions about laser removal of permanent makeup

A pigment removal laser is not the same as a hair removal laser, and its target is not the hair root. However, the hairs may temporarily lighten or become superficially damaged during the treatment, depending on their colour, the wavelength and contact with the energy. The most important thing is that the treatment is precisely targeted and that you do not try to tint or chemically treat the area yourself until the skin has fully recovered.

The treatment is not performed over an active infection, herpes, an open wound, pronounced dermatitis or a suspicious skin lesion. Eyeliner removal is not carried out if the eye and the area cannot be safely protected, or if the doctor judges that the position of the pigment carries an unacceptable risk.

The procedure is postponed or requires additional assessment during pregnancy and breastfeeding, with tanned or irritated skin, fresh PMU, active eye inflammation, uncontrolled chronic disease, healing disorders, weakened immunity, a tendency to keloids, and with therapies that may increase photosensitivity or bleeding or change the skin’s response. Do not stop any medication on your own initiative.

No. The skin must heal completely and the colour must stabilise. New pigment introduced too early can make it harder to assess the result, increase irritation and create another layer that will later be difficult to correct. The exact timing is determined at a check-up.

Brown pigment is a mixture of several colours. When the laser removes the darker component, the red, orange or yellow that were part of the mixture from the start may become visible. The next wavelength is chosen according to the new, stable shade after healing.

Yes. Often only the tail, the head, or the upper or lower line that disturbs the shape is treated. However, it is necessary to plan how the remaining pigment will look once the treated part lightens.

Sometimes different methods are considered within the same overall plan, but not at the same time and not without an assessment. Skin that has already been treated with acids or a remover may have scars, changed texture and longer healing. Be sure to tell the doctor what was done and when.
