With the popularity of powder brows, the demand for color removal has also increased. Recently, non-invasive color removal has become in demand, but is it effective? How does non-invasive color removal differ from traditional liquid-based methods? Let me walk you through this innovation.
In the early days, traditional liquid color removal involved the use of highly corrosive acids and alkalis, combined with aggressive techniques that caused significant damage to the skin’s surface in an attempt to remove the pigment. However, the severe damage and overwhelming strain on the skin’s ability to heal often lead to further complications, such as destroyed hair follicles or excessive scarring.
Recently, a new type of liquid color removal has emerged, using gentler fruit acid-based solutions along with permanent makeup techniques. However, because modern permanent makeup techniques emphasize gentle application, the effectiveness of these newer liquid removal methods tends to be limited. If the technique is applied too forcefully, it can still cause significant skin damage.
The Theory of Non-Invasive Color Removal
Our equipment is specially designed to remove old pigment in permanent makeup. The removal depth is carefully controlled within a safe range, which is ideal for permanent makeup. It removes the surface pigment without damaging the skin or hair follicles. Compared to the high-intensity destruction of a single laser session at a clinic, non-invasive removal is actually safer. However, it typically requires two to three sessions for best results, with noticeable improvement after each session.
When the stubborn large pigment molecules are broken down, they will initially appear colorless (gray) in the form of small molecules. After two to three weeks, as the body naturally metabolizes these small molecules, they will fade away, and the deeper, older pigments will surface. At this point, the color will look lighter and finer than before.
How Many Sessions Do I Need?
Our goal is to help clients achieve a state where new brows can be applied, meaning the color doesn't have to be completely removed. After understanding the process described above, usually after two sessions (about one and a half months), the brows will look natural enough to proceed with new brow work.
However, if your old brow color is too saturated or if the pigment has spread too far outside the normal brow area, you may need an additional one or two removal sessions to clean up the areas where new brows need to be applied.
Additionally, microblading generally requires more removal sessions compared to failed powder brows, as microblading tends to penetrate deeper. You may need an extra one or two sessions in such cases.
No Damage to Brows or Skin, No Recovery Time, and Many Other Benefits
The principle of color removal has significantly changed from before, now using the gentle concept of light therapy. This ensures no damage to the original skin or hair follicles. The removal of old pigment is processed beneath the skin, so the surface shows no signs of treatment. The next day, it will just appear as though you’ve drawn on gray eyebrows. Over the course of about three weeks, as the colorless, broken-down pigment molecules are metabolized, the brows will gradually become lighter and finer.
During the period between removal sessions or while waiting to apply new brows, you can apply makeup to your brows as usual. Your daily routine will not be affected, and there's no need to take time off work. It's an easy way to get rid of old brows and look beautiful again.
