In some cases, laser removal is essential before new pigment can be applied. This is often due to over saturation, where too much pigment has built up in the skin over time, preventing fresh colour from healing evenly. Other common reasons include incorrect shape or placement, pigment that has healed too dark or discoloured, or microblading that was implanted too deep, causing blurring or scarring. By lightening or fully removing the previous work first, we can create a clean, balanced canvas — ensuring better healed results, true-to-tone colour, and an overall more refined outcome.

After laser treatment, it’s normal for some pigment residue to remain in the skin. This residue is often made up of tiny fragmented particles that the body’s lymphatic system continues to flush out over time. In some cases, a light ‘shadow’ or warm undertone may remain. Its all dependent on the pigments implanted into the skin and if any colour corrections have been done over the years. The laser is super effective on dark colours such as black but not as effective on Yellow & Orange due to the energy and wavelength causing some residue to be left in the skin. This will breakdown over time or we can move onto solution removal or cover up PMU.

The laser Jasmine uses at Studio One is an ND Yag Q Switch which is super effective on PMU Removal.
