Why Removing Old Pigment Is Essential Before a New Nano Brows Treatment

If you’re considering a nano brows treatment to refresh or reshape your eyebrows, and you’ve had any permanent makeup done in the past, it’s crucial to address any old pigment lingering in the skin.            At Avalon, we specialise in high quality nano brows that deliver natural, soft, and precise results but optimal outcomes start with the right canvas.

Here’s why removing old pigment is a vital step before beginning a new nano brows procedure.

Old pigment from previous brow treatments especially older microblading, powder brows, or tattooing can:

 

Distort the shape of new brows

Alter pigment colour, causing undesired tones (grey, blue, red, or green)

Cause poor retention of new pigment

Create patchy or uneven healing

New pigment will blur into the old pigment and within few months , now pigment will look like old

If you have old pigment and you decide to do Nano brows on the top of old pigment , the result won’t last.  Few months later the Nano strokes will bleed into old pigment and won’t be visible anymore.

Even the best artist can be limited by residual pigment underneath the skin. That’s why we always assess your existing pigment before proceeding with any new treatment.

What Type of Machine we use in Avalon

In general, there are two types of machines that are used for Laser Tattoo Removal: a Q-Switched ND.YAG, and a PicoSecond machine. The difference between the two are that a PicoSecond machine can break the particles down into smaller particles, which means less trauma to the skin tissue, faster ink expulsion and less procedures for the client. Whereas an Q-Switched ND.YAG machine isn’t able to shatter the ink into such small particles, which can result in a little more trauma to the skin tissue and longer down time as well as more procedures required. The differences are not major in comparison… but the price range is! The end results will be the same, its just that one machine will require more sessions and more down time for the client than the other. At Cosmedic Lasers, we have designed and manufactured a machine that is classed as a Micro Picosecond machine; It lies in between the specification of a Q-Switched ND.YAG and a Picosecond machine…. And its beautiful.

Why to remove first

 A Clean Canvas Means Better Results

Removing old pigment helps ensure the new brow design isn’t compromised by past work. Without previous colour interfering, your new nano brows will appear crisper, more defined, and truer to tone.

Outdated brows may have faded unevenly or shifted over time. Starting fresh allows us to map your new brows with precision balanced, flattering, and tailored to your current features.

 

 Improved Colour Retention

Old pigment can cause colour mixing or fading that leads to grey or ashy results. Clearing previous ink helps new pigment bond correctly to the skin for more vibrant and lasting results.

Correcting Shape and Symmetry

 Reduced Risk of Over-Saturation

Layering new pigment over old can lead to over saturation, making brows look unnaturally dark or blocky. Removal reduces this risk, giving you natural, airy brows instead.
