Thank you so much for respecting our time, as we respect yours!
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LASER BROW TONING AND LASER BROW REMOVAL?
Brow Toning removes gray undertones on old brows to bring out warmer/natural tones and can usually be achieved in 1 session. Brow Removal removes unwanted tattoos (pigment) which may require a few sessions.
Our state-of-the-art laser machine effectively tones/removes old brows by emitting intense pulses/beam of monochromatic light. When we see color, we are really seeing certain wavelengths of light bouncing off the surface of an object. The rest of the wavelengths are absorbed by the object. So, each color of your tattoo will need to be targeted with the correct wavelength of laser to penetrate and break up that particular color of pigment and push it back into your body. Over time, your body’s immune system will absorb the pigment and you will see the lightened tattoo.
Please keep in mind that results will vary from client to client, dependent on the saturation of the tattoo, skin type, and pigments used.
HOW LONG IS A TATTOO TONING/REMOVAL SESSION?
Each session will take approximately 15 minutes.
HOW DO I DETERMINE WHICH TREATMENT IS BEST FOR ME?
Before booking your tattoo toning/removal service, please text us a selfie (full face WITHOUT makeup) to (248) 924-5450 for our artist to review (include your full name and service type). A LoAnn Brow Art Studio staff member will contact you about next steps.
HOW MANY SESSIONS ARE NEEDED?
The total number of sessions depends on a number of factors, including the saturation of the tattoo, skin type, and type of pigments used. Toning generally takes only 1 session, while brow removals may require more.
