PMU is removed using the latest ultra-short pulsed lasers (picosecond lasers), which break up the pigment in a targeted manner without damaging the surrounding tissue. The body then breaks down the pigment particles naturally.
Each treatment is precisely tailored to the pigment colour, depth of the PMU and skin type. Several sessions are usually required to achieve an even and aesthetically pleasing result.
Limits of laser therapy
Dark pigments such as black or brown can be reliably removed using modern laser technology. However, light or unusual colour tones (yellow, blue, green) react much less predictably, sometimes only with difficulty or incompletely. Therefore, each removal requires medical expertise, individual planning and experience in order to achieve a safe, aesthetically pleasing result.
Is the treatment painful?
The treatment may cause a slight tingling or stinging sensation, comparable to a gentle flick on the skin. On request, we use anaesthetic methods to ensure maximum comfort. After the session, there may be temporary redness or slight swelling, which usually disappears within a few days.
Risks of laser treatment
Possible side effects include:
- Temporary redness or slight swelling
- Blistering is very rare and only occurs in exceptional cases; it is not part of the normal course of treatment
- Temporary hyper- or hypopigmentation, especially in darker skin types
- Rarely: Scarring with improper application
Thanks to careful consultation, test treatments and individually adapted laser parameters, we minimise these risks.
