SEMI-PERMANENT MAKEUP REMOVAL
A Light-Based Approach to Softening Unwanted Cosmetic Pigment
At Näkemiin, we offer ND:YAG laser treatments to safely soften and reduce the appearance of semi-permanent makeup (SPMU) such as brows, lip liner and certain cosmetic tattoo pigments.
Whether you want your cosmetic tattoo fully removed, lightened, reshaped or prepared for new work, each treatment is carried out with steady technique and clear communication so you always know what to expect.
What SPMU Removal Can Help With
Laser SPMU removal may help improve the appearance of:
- Older or overly darkened brow tattoos
- Brows that have changed colour over time
- Cosmetic tattoo pigment that no longer suits your features
- Uneven, blurred or misshapen SPMU
- Pigment that needs lightening before a cover-up or correction
Suitability is confirmed during your consultation and patch test.
How the Treatment Works
ND:YAG laser light is absorbed by the cosmetic pigment in the skin.
The energy helps break the pigment into smaller particles, allowing the body to gradually clear it over time.
Cosmetic tattoo pigments vary in depth and composition, so results are unique to each person and can require multiple sessions.
Your Treatment Experience
Before treatment, we assess your pigment, discuss your goals and explain what outcomes are realistic for your specific SPMU.
During your session:
- The sensation can feel warm or sharp in small bursts
- Brows are treated in controlled passes
- Protective eyewear is always worn
- Skin may appear red or swollen afterwards
This is normal and usually short-lived.
Results & Expectations
Following the session, the area may:
- look darker before lightening
- feel warm or tender
- appear red or slightly puffy
- Over the coming weeks, the pigment may gradually soften, fade or shift in appearance as further sessions build on the results.
Your full outcome depends on pigment type, depth, natural skin tone and the number of treatments completed — this is explained during consultation.
Aftercare
After treatment, the area may feel warm and look darker temporarily.
In general:
- Keep the area cool and clean
- Avoid heat and sun for a short time
- Use SPF daily while undergoing treatment
We’ll guide you through everything you need to know.
