How Does Permanent Makeup Removal Work?
Permanent makeup removal breaks up the pigment in the tattoo through the use of lasers so that it can safely be eliminated from the body. Unlike other removal techniques, such as dermabrasion or chemical peels, laser makeup removal is a more effective option that is non-invasive and requires little to no downtime. Prior to treatment, a numbing cream or injectable anesthetic will be applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort. Our advanced lasers emit short, high-powered pulses of energy to break up the pigment into smaller particles so that it can easily be eliminated from the body naturally. You may experience some transient redness, swelling, or scabbing after the treatment. This is completely normal and should resolve on its own. Some patients may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results. After the procedure, you will be able to return to your regular routine. The amount of treatments you will need will depend on your tattoo’s type, color, age, and depth. During your consultation, a treatment plan will be created to address your specific needs and goals.

Laser & Skin Reviews
Stephanie is professional, talented, and attentive to the wants and needs of each patient. My experience has been nothing but elite and outstanding. Look no further than Stephanie Slaski.
I first came to Laser Skin Surgery Center in Devon about two years ago after dealing with persistent bumps on my face that simply would not go away. Before coming here, I had seen another dermatologist in Philadelphia who diagnosed me with rosacea, but the treatment wasn’t resolving the problem.Then I saw Dr. Wang, and the difference in the level of care was immediate.He took his time examining my skin, looked at the affected areas under magnification, took a skin sample, and actually asked questions to figure out what was going on. He even asked where I worked. When I told him I worked for a school district and was around children, that information helped him determine that what I was dealing with was contagious warts—not rosacea.He treated the areas by freezing/zapping them, and I NEVER saw those spots again. After struggling with them for so long, that was incredible.Fast-forward two years, and I returned to the Devon office because I was experiencing intense, life-disrupting itching. Naturally, I asked for Dr. Wang because of how positive my first experience had been. I was told that he is primarily doing surgeries now and that I would need to see Dr. Stephanie.I’ll admit—I was hesitant! 😂 When you find a doctor who gets it right, you don't necessarily want to switch.But man, oh man... Dr. Stephanie has been 10/10 with me. She has not missed the mark with my skin AT ALL.She is patient, kind, funny, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable. Most importantly, I feel like she actually listens. She doesn't rush through the appointment or make you feel like you're just another patient on the schedule. She takes the time to understand what I'm experiencing, explains what she's seeing and what we're doing about it, and I leave feeling confident in the care I'm receiving.Between my original experience with Dr. Wang and the care I now receive from Dr. Stephanie, I have developed a tremendous amount of trust in this practice. When something is going on with my skin, this is where I'm going.I highly recommend the Devon office—especially if you've been dealing with a skin issue that hasn't been properly diagnosed or resolved elsewhere. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
She was absolutely amazing! She gave me answers to all my questions! And made any process we did very easy!
Needed an appointment asap. Was able to book one same day. Stephanie Slaski was great. She was super efficient and knowledgeable. Cleared up my issue. Highly recommend.
Very good experience at this office. Provider was top notch.

Permanent Makeup Removal FAQ
Can permanent makeup removal completely erase the pigment?
While permanent makeup removal techniques are highly effective, complete pigment removal isn't always guaranteed. The results can depend on factors like the age of the tattoo, the type of pigment, and how deep the pigment was placed in the skin. In many cases, the pigment can be significantly faded, making it less noticeable or allowing for a more natural look. However, some residual color may remain, particularly with older or heavily saturated tattoos.
Can permanent makeup removal cause scarring or skin damage?
When performed by a qualified professional using proper techniques, the risk of scarring or skin damage is minimal. However, some factors, such as improper aftercare, picking at scabs, or having underlying skin conditions, can increase the risk of complications. Choosing an experienced practitioner and adhering strictly to aftercare guidelines is essential to minimize potential risks.
Is permanent makeup removal painful?
The level of discomfort experienced during permanent makeup removal can vary from person to person. Some individuals describe the sensation as similar to the original tattooing process, with a feeling of warmth or a mild stinging sensation. Numbing creams or local anesthetics may be applied to the area before treatment to minimize discomfort. Most clients find the procedure tolerable, especially when numbing is used.
