Want your brows removed to start again?

Laser vs saline — what the differences mean for your brows

Laser Removal

Our method — ND:YAG precision laser

  • Targets pigment precisely without disrupting skin surface or existing hair
  • Minimal skin trauma — fast recovery
  • Brows fade evenly in most cases
  • Can be used to lighten or fully remove
  • Predictable, controlled results in experienced hands

Saline Removal

Alternative method — suitable in some cases

  • Not always ideal for dense or multi-layer pigment
  • Can be more abrasive — more downtime
  • Less predictable with certain pigment colours
  • May require more sessions for the same result
  • Can be helpful for very superficial PMU

Aftercare & Healing

Proper aftercare is just as important as the technique itself. To ensure your brows, lip blush, or permanent eyeliner heal cleanly, retain their vibrant color, and look flawless for years to come, following your custom healing protocol is essential. Whether you received your treatment at our studio in Rossendale or travelled in from across Lancashire and Manchester, here is your complete, step-by-step guide to the permanent makeup healing process:

You May Experience

  • Mild redness around the treated area
  • Slight swelling for 24–48 hours
  • Pigment may appear noticeably darker than the final healed result. This is completely normal!
  • Tenderness for 24–48 hours

Full aftercare provided in clinic and via message support.

Avoid

  • Picking or scratching the area
  • Excessive sun exposure
  • Steam rooms, saunas, or swimming
  • Makeup on the treated area for 48 hours

PMU — FAQ

Common questions answered honestly

Does PMU hurt?

+

No, modern day PMU isn’t painful with most clients report feeling little to no pain, often describing the sensation as a light scratching, vibration, or a minor tickle.

How much does it cost?

+

Our Prices are on this page.

What is the healing process like?

+

The initial healing phase takes about 7 to 14 days, while complete internal skin healing takes 4 to 6 weeks. Days 1–3: The color will look significantly darker and richer right after the service.Days 3–10: Light flaking or shedding occurs. The color underneath may temporarily look soft or "ghosted" before re-emerging

I've had them done elsewhere, can you do a Top Up?

+

Maybe, if you have previously had them done elsewhere and they are still visible in the skin its best to send us a good clear picture in good lighting so we can let you know if we can cover the previous work. If we cant then fear not, we also specialise in quck and effective Laser removal which DOES NOT damage the exisiting hair

What is the top-up session and why is it needed?

+

Cosmetic tattooing is a two-step process. Your follow-up appointment scheduled 4 to 6 weeks later is essential. During this session, we evaluate how your skin retained the pigment during healing, correct any minor gaps or asymmetry, and lock in the final longevity of your look.

Do I need a patch test before treatment?

+

Yes — all clients have a patch test and consultation before their first session. This ensures the treatment is safe and suitable for your skin and pigment type.

Do you draw them on first so I can see what it will look like?

+

Absolutely, we will measure and draw a shape in pencil first so you can check the shape and symmetry and make sure you are 100% happy with the pre draw before we go any further with the treatment process. Then once approved by yourself we will then move on and choose a colour to suit your skin tone and hair colour. You have complete control.
