Permanent Make-up removal. Regrets and poor results. Physicians have been using lasers to remove body Pigmentation for years, and are now seeing more patients needing correction and repair of their Permanent Make-up. As more and more women take advantage of not having to apply and reapply make-up on a daily basis, there will be those who regret the decision and those who simply got poor results due to an inexperienced or careless provider. If there are regrets or poor results the good news is that it can be fixed. The lasers used for Pigmentation removal have a proven track record. They work. In the hands of a physician who knows the pigments and works closely with a Permanent Make-up Artist removal of the pigment can be completed in just a few sessions. You should only chose a physician who has experience with Permanent Make-up removal. Certain pigments, particularly those that are light or flesh colored can actually change to dark green or even black when the wrong laser frequency is applied. Several different lasers may be necessary to achieve good a result which is why finding the right physician is important. Laser treatments can sometimes be a little uncomfortable, but areas to be treated can be numbed for a pain free experience. After the treatment there may be some redness and minor swelling. It is not uncommon for a small amount of scabbing to result, but this should heal in just a few days. You should schedule a follow-up appointment with the physician in four weeks to determine if further treatments will be necessary. Generally, a minimum of four weeks is required between treatments to allow the skin to heal well without causing scarring. At my office at The Parker Skin & Aesthetic Clinic in Beachwood, Ohio we have the experienced physicians and lasers necessary to help.
