If your microblading or eyebrow tattoo has faded unevenly, healed the wrong colour, changed shape over time, or simply no longer suits your face, Alex James Clinic provides safe, specialist eyebrow tattoo removal using precision ND:YAG laser technology.
Located in Rossendale, Lancashire, we attract clients from Manchester, the North West, and surrounding areas who want expert, realistic, safe removal that prioritises skin integrity and brow aesthetics.
Laser brow removal requires far more precision and understanding of pigment behaviour than traditional body tattoo removal. Clients choose Alex James Clinic because we offer:
Permanent makeup behaves differently than body tattoo ink. We understand pigment ingredients, colour shifts, titanium dioxide reactions and safe removal technique.
Ideal for targeting brow pigments safely and effectively — without damaging surrounding skin.
Some pigments may darken before they lighten (common with titanium dioxide). We explain everything before treatment.
No treatment begins without ensuring you are fully informed, suitable and comfortable.
Clients regularly describe the team as friendly, reassuring and professional.
An accessible clinic without city-centre stress, parking issues or inflated prices.
For faded, blurred, discoloured or poorly shaped microblading strokes.
Red brows, blue brows, grey brows, too dark, or oxidised pigmentation.
If your brow artist has advised removal or lightening first, we can help prepare the area safely.
Permanent makeup pigments often contain compounds such as:
Titanium dioxide (white base)
Iron oxide (commonly used in microblading)
Organic + inorganic blends
These pigments react differently to laser light than body tattoo ink.
Our ND:YAG laser uses controlled, precise wavelengths to:
Target pigment only
The laser is attracted to pigment particles rather than the surrounding skin.
Fragment the pigment safely
It breaks pigment into tiny molecules without disrupting the skin’s surface.
Allow the body to clear the pigment naturally
Your immune system gradually removes the pigment fragments.
Fade the brow tattoo gently, session by session
Each treatment provides progressive lightening.
Some eyebrow pigments initially go darker before lightening. This is normal and temporary, especially for pigments containing titanium dioxide. We explain this clearly during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
We assess your brows, pigment colour, depth, undertones, and how the previous PMU was applied.
To observe your skin’s reaction and ensure safe treatment.
We explain how many sessions to expect and what your realistic outcome will be.
Eyebrow tattoo removal is a fast procedure — often under 2 minutes of laser time per session.
We use cooling to reduce heat sensation and improve comfort.

Pigment ingredients

We give you an accurate estimate during consultation — no vague or unrealistic promises.
Usually caused by warm undertones surfacing over time.
Common with old microblading or incorrect pigment choices.
Often from deeper machine pigment or pigment migration.
A common reason clients want lightening before new PMU.
Sometimes the only fix is laser removal before correction.
These issues are extremely common — you are not alone in wanting them corrected.
Laser removal is effective for brow tattoos because:
✔ It targets pigment precisely
✔ It avoids excessive skin trauma
✔ Recovery is fast
✔ Brows fade evenly in most cases
✔ Can be used to lighten OR fully remove
Saline can be helpful for some PMU issues, but:
It is not always ideal for dense pigment
It can be more abrasive
It may require more downtime
It is less predictable with certain colours
Laser is usually the safest, most controlled option for brow tattoo removal in experienced hands.
Aftercare is crucial for maintaining skin integrity.
You may experience:
Mild redness
Slight swelling
Temporary darkening of pigment
Tenderness for 24–48 hours
Avoid:
Picking or scratching
Excessive sun exposure
Steam rooms / saunas / swimming
Makeup on the area for 48 hours
We provide full aftercare guidance in clinic and via message support.

This is completely normal. Pigments containing titanium dioxide often darken temporarily after the first session before lightening. We explain what to expect during your consultation.
Yes — we remove microblading, ombre/powder brows and machine brows. Different pigments respond differently, and we tailor the laser settings for safe, even fading.
No — laser targets pigment, not hair. Your natural brows remain safe and intact during treatment.
Yes — all clients must have a patch test and consultation before their first session. This ensures safety and allows us to assess how your pigment reacts.
Absolutely. Most clients come to us to prepare for a new brow treatment. Once the area has healed and your PMU artist confirms the skin is ready, you can book new brows.
