Microblading Removal — Targeted laser removal for microbladed brows, breaking down pigment from fine hair-stroke techniques over a series of sessions.
How does SPMU removal work?
The Q-switched Nd:YAG laser targets the pigment particles beneath the skin without damaging the surrounding tissue. The laser energy breaks the pigment into smaller fragments, which your immune system then clears away naturally over the following weeks.
SPMU removal typically requires multiple sessions, spaced at least 6–8 weeks apart, to allow full healing between treatments. The number of sessions needed depends on several factors:
- The age and depth of the pigment
- The colour used (lighter and warmer tones can be more resistant)
- Your skin type and immune response
- Whether the SPMU was applied by a professional or a less experienced technician
Most clients see significant fading within 3–6 sessions. I'll give you a realistic estimate at your consultation — I won't oversell results or give you a number just to get you booked in.
SPMU Removal FAQ
Common questions about our specialist SPMU and microblading removal treatments in Bradford.
What exactly is SPMU removal?
SPMU stands for Semi-Permanent Makeup. It involves the use of microblading or pigment injection to create a long-lasting, natural-looking tattoo. Our removal process uses advanced laser technology to break down the pigment particles so they can be naturally eliminated by your body.
How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on the depth of the pigment, your skin type, and the specific area being treated. Most eyebrow tattoos require 3 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow for full healing and optimal results.
Is the treatment painful?
We use a topical numbing cream before every session to keep you as comfortable as possible. Most clients describe the sensation as similar to a light snapping feeling — generally easier to tolerate than the original tattoo.
How long does a session take?
A typical session lasts between 30 minutes to 1 hour. This includes a consultation, the actual laser treatment, and a short time for you to rest and apply your aftercare cream.
What is the aftercare like?
Aftercare is crucial for a smooth recovery. You will receive a detailed aftercare guide with instructions on how to keep the area clean, avoid picking, and protect it from the sun until it is fully healed.
Are there any risks involved?
Laser removal is considered very safe when performed by a specialist. However, like any cosmetic procedure, there is a small risk of temporary redness, swelling, or pigment changes. We take every precaution to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the process.
Can I remove my SPMU if I am pregnant?
We recommend avoiding all cosmetic procedures, including laser removal, during pregnancy. Your body is in a state of significant change, and the healing process may be affected. We always advise a consultation to discuss your specific situation.
