Is Laser Microblading Removal Painful?

Unfortunately, laser microblading removal can be a painful process. Microblading goes on a sensitive, bony area of your face, and, just as it was moderately painful to get, it can be moderately painful to remove. The good news is that most people say the removal is not as bad. At Lexington Tattoo Removal, our specialists employ the best practices available to minimize your discomfort and care for your microblading between sessions, allowing it to heal with minimal pain. Let's take a closer look!

Tattoo Pain Charts and Laser Microblading Removal

If you take a look at the tattoo pain charts, you'll note that one of the most painful places to get a tattoo is on the face, and removal in those areas is also painful. While not as deep, microblading is still a form of tattooing, so removing it is similar to removing a tattoo, like a rubber band snapping your skin, but just as many note that Tattoo Numbing Cream and qualified specialists reduce even that.

Microblading ink doesn't penetrate as deeply into the skin as traditional tattoo ink, so despite the painful location, the laser microblading removal procedure usually takes less than a minute. It also takes only a couple of sessions to remove the ink.

If you have bad microblading that's uneven or faded poorly, turning gray or reddish, removing it might create some emotional relief and a surge in confidence, which can offset the brief physical pain. Our specialists use their skills, knowledge, and equipment to minimize the pain you could experience before, during, and after the procedure.

How Our Specialists Reduce Your Pain

Our specialists begin with a consultation, so you know what to expect, including the number of sessions and what happens during the procedure. Microblading can often start on the same day as your consultation. During the procedure, our specialists mitigate your pain by:

• Numbing your skin with the Zimmer Cryo Cooler, which reduces it to about 22ºF.
• Using our top-rated laser, the Quanto Q-Plus C EVO.
• Avoiding damage to your natural eyebrows.
• Keeping the procedure as short as possible without sacrificing thoroughness.
  

What You Can Do to Help

To encourage healing and prepare your skin for additional treatments, we strongly recommend using Tattoo Numbing Cream. After your treatment, you may experience slight discomfort, similar to a sunburn. The numbing cream will help.
