Microblading Laser Removal: Can Microblading be Removed?

blog post alt tag
If you’ve had microblading and are not satisfied with the results, the good news is that it can be corrected. Often called a microblade correction, it is a safe procedure that is similar to other laser tattoo removal treatments.

Eyebrow tattoos and microblading have become extremely popular over the past few years, with salons worldwide offering the service to clients. Like all cosmetic procedures, there are professionals who do them right – and professionals who don’t, often resulting in unsatisfactory results. With the advancements in laser tattoo removal, microblading and eyebrow tattoo removal are both possible and safe.

What Are Cosmetic Tattoos?

Cosmetic tattoos, also known as permanent makeup, use tattooing techniques to create long-lasting markings on the face that resemble everyday makeup. These tattoos differ from traditional body tattoos in both the technique used and the type of pigments applied.

Permanent makeup services are typically performed by licensed aestheticians rather than traditional tattoo artists. Cosmetic tattoos can include procedures for eyeliner, lip color, and eyebrow enhancement. One of the most common forms is eyebrow tattooing, often done through microblading or traditional eyebrow tattoo techniques.

Microblading

Microblading creates the appearance of fuller eyebrows by applying fine, hair-like strokes of pigment to the skin. Instead of using a tattoo machine, a technician uses a small handheld blade to deposit pigment into the skin.

This technique is designed to produce a more natural-looking brow and is considered semi-permanent. In most cases, microblading results last around three years before gradually fading.

Traditional Eyebrow Tattoos

Traditional eyebrow tattoos are created using a tattoo machine, similar to the equipment used for body tattoos. This technique deposits pigment more deeply into the skin, resulting in a longer-lasting and more defined appearance.

Because the pigment is placed deeper in the skin, traditional eyebrow tattoos tend to be more permanent than microblading.

Tattoo Removal for Microblading and Eyebrow Tattoos

The process of removing cosmetic tattoos is slightly different from removing traditional body tattoos. However, with the right technology and trained specialists, eyebrow tattoos and microblading can be safely faded or removed.

Laser tattoo removal works by targeting pigment particles in the skin and breaking them into smaller pieces that the body gradually clears away. Over multiple sessions, the pigment fades until the tattoo is significantly lighter or fully removed.

How Many Sessions Are Needed for Eyebrow Tattoo Removal?

The number of sessions required for cosmetic tattoo removal depends on several factors, including your skin type, the type of pigment used, the technique applied during the original procedure, and the size of the tattoo.

On average, full eyebrow tattoo or microblading removal typically takes between 3–5 laser sessions. During a consultation, a specialist will evaluate your brows and provide a more accurate treatment estimate.

Cost of Eyebrow and Microblading Removal

The total cost of cosmetic tattoo removal depends on the size of the treatment area and the number of sessions needed. At Removery, eyebrow and microblading removal typically starts at around $400 per session.

Aftercare for Microblading and Eyebrow Tattoo Removal

Just like traditional tattoo removal, cosmetic tattoo removal requires proper aftercare to protect the skin and support healing between sessions.

After each treatment, clients should follow these important aftercare steps:

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks.
  • Avoid laser hair removal treatments, chemical peels, or Botox within the first 24 hours after treatment.
  • Avoid applying makeup to the treated area for 72 hours after treatment.

Following these guidelines helps protect the skin and supports the best possible results during the removal process.
