Can I Get Microblading Removed?

September 29, 2022

By :

Thick, shapely eyebrows have become wildly popular in recent years. For people with naturally thin brows or those who dislike creating their desired brow shape with makeup, microblading is an attractive alternative. Unfortunately for some, their microblading hasn’t turned out the way they hoped. At Colorado Skin & Vein, we have answers to all your microblading removal questions.

How Does the PiQo4 Laser Work?

Not all microblading procedures turn out how we expect, and for some recipients of semi-permanent makeup, this can be devastating, especially as it takes 3-5 years to fade. The Colorado Skin & Vein team was one of the first in the country to bring our patients PiQo4 laser technology, and we can remove your microblading mishap with just a few treatments. As one of the most powerful tools in our laser arsenal, the PiQo4’s precision makes it possible to treat even delicate areas of the face, like the eyebrows. PiQo4 uses both picosecond and nanosecond technology to achieve permanent makeup and microblading removal. The pulses shatter pigments at both the surface and at depth, making short work of even the most resistant tattoos. Nanosecond pulses break up large, deeper ink particles, while picosecond pulses target small, shallow particles and clean up what the nanosecond pulses leave behind for more complete treatment at once.

Am I a Good Candidate?

If you’re unhappy with your microblading and don’t want to wait 3-5 years for it to fade, PiQo4 laser treatments may be for you. Because PiQo4 technology can be adjusted, it can be used on almost any skin tone or type. Start your treatment with a consultation at Colorado Skin & Vein today.

What is the Treatment Like?

Most laser treatments heat the skin’s surface, and can be uncomfortable, much like a sunburn causes discomfort. While not entirely pain-free, patients find PiQo4 treatment very tolerable, and with the system’s high adjustability, your provider can effectively manage your pain during the treatment. The PiQo4 pulses have been likened to the snap of a rubber band against the skin, and the laser system’s sound pops with each pulse. Following treatment, your skin may be sensitive, tender, reddened, and have mild swelling, but these effects should subside within a few hours. You may resume your normal activities immediately following your microblading removal.

When Will I See Results?

Immediately following your PiQo4 treatment, you may experience a “frosting” effect, the development of a white layer on treated skin while you heal. This is normal and fades the microblading as shattered ink particles are absorbed and filtered out of the body. It may require multiple sessions and take a few weeks before your microblading fully disappears.

Dr. David Verebelyi and the Colorado Skin & Vein team are experts with PiQo4 laser technology and all it is capable of, thanks to being some of the first in the country to offer this technology to our patients. We take pride in our ability to bring our patients the latest advancements in cosmetic, skin, and vascular care which make us one of Colorado’s foremost clinics for dermatological and vascular treatments. The PiQo4 laser system is just one of the ways we best serve you. Don’t live with unwanted permanent makeup or microblading any longer than you have to. Let the compassionate team at Colorado Skin & Vein help.

\”I highly recommend Colorado Skin & Vein to anyone who wants to address their skin concerns! The staff is very knowledgeable and will let you know what treatment is right for you.\”

Angel Croce

Staff Manager

Angel has been in healthcare for more than 20 years. Her journey began in 2004, after her father suddenly passed away from a stroke. Losing him was a life-changing experience, and it inspired her to choose a career where she could help others and give patients and their families the care, compassion, and support they need during difficult times.

Throughout her career she has worked across cardiology, neurology, family practice, and urgent care — each experience helping her grow both personally and professionally. She now works in vascular care and aesthetics, where she enjoys building relationships with her patients, helping them understand their care, and making sure they feel comfortable and supported throughout their journey.

Outside of work, Angel is a proud mom of two. Family is incredibly important to her, and in her spare time she loves being outdoors with her husband and their two dogs — hunting, fishing, and enjoying Colorado.

For Angel, healthcare is more than a career — it is personal. What started as a way to honor her father’s memory has become more than two decades of caring for others, and she is grateful to keep doing something that means so much to her every day.
