What Is Permanent Makeup Removal?

Permanent makeup (PMU) and microblading use pigment implanted into the skin — just like a tattoo. Over time, pigment can fade unevenly, change color, or no longer match your style. At Royal You Med Spa, we use the Candela PicoWay® laser to safely break down pigment particles so your body can naturally clear them.

We treat:

  • Microblading removal — eyebrow hair-stroke pigment
  • Eyebrow tattoo removal — powdered brow, ombre brow, block brow
  • Eyeliner tattoo removal — upper and lower lid
  • Lip liner removal — lip border and full lip blush
  • Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) removal — hairline and scalp pigment

PicoWay’s ultra-short picosecond pulses shatter pigment without excessive heat, making it ideal for the delicate facial skin where most PMU is applied.

Why PMU Removal Is Different From Regular Tattoo Removal

Permanent makeup pigments behave differently than decorative tattoo inks. They are typically:

  • Implanted at a shallower depth in the skin
  • Made with iron oxide-based pigments that can be more reactive
  • Applied in delicate facial areas requiring precision and care

This is why PMU removal requires an experienced provider — not every laser clinic has the training or technology to treat cosmetic tattoos safely. At Royal You Med Spa, every treatment is performed or supervised by Dr. Emilia Ruiz, MD, a board-certified physician with extensive aesthetic laser experience.

Benefits of PicoWay® for PMU Removal

At Royal You Med Spa in Madison, we focus on balanced, conservative dosing to maintain natural facial movement while reducing harsh lines.

  • Effective on iron oxide pigments common in microblading and PMU
  • Ultra-precise treatment for delicate facial areas
  • Works on a wide range of pigment colors including browns, blacks, and reds
  • Minimal heat exposure — lower risk of scarring or hyperpigmentation
  • Safe for all skin tones
  • Progressive fading between sessions with minimal downtime

What to Expect During Your Appointment

Most clients return to normal activity the same day.

Step 1 – Consultation

We evaluate your permanent makeup (pigment type, color, age, location) and build a personalized removal plan.
