A client recently came to Samadhi to remove permanent eyeliner and her eyebrow tattoo. We treated both in the same session — and she left happy. It's one of the most common questions we get about permanent makeup removal, so here's the honest answer.
Can You Remove Eyeliner and Brows in the Same Session?
Yes. Eyeliner and eyebrow tattoos are both small facial areas, and each one only takes a few minutes under the laser. Treating them together in a single visit is completely normal — and for most people it's the smarter way to do it.
There's no need to book two separate appointments to fade your brows and then your eyeliner. We do both in one sitting, adjust the laser carefully for each area, and you heal them on the same timeline.
Why Treating Both Together Makes Sense
Permanent makeup removal isn't one-and-done — it's a series of sessions spaced 6–8 weeks apart to let the skin recover and clear the broken-down pigment.
If you remove brows and eyeliner together, both areas stay on the same healing rhythm. That means:
- Fewer total visits to the studio
- One recovery window instead of two
- A removal plan that finishes at the same time — useful if you're planning new permanent makeup afterwards
For visitors to Bali especially, syncing both areas into one schedule saves trips across the island.
How Eyeliner Removal Works
We use the same Q-Switched Nd:YAG laser we use for body tattoos, operating at 1064 nm and 532 nm depending on pigment colour. For permanent makeup the settings are dialled down and applied carefully — cosmetic pigments behave differently from tattoo ink and can shift colour mid-process before they clear.
The eye area is delicate, so eyeliner is treated conservatively and with extra care. A typical facial session:
- The skin is cooled before treatment
- Short laser pulses are applied — usually just a few minutes per area
- The skin is cooled again afterwards
- You get clear aftercare instructions
Numbing cream is available on request, and active cooling before, during, and after keeps discomfort low. Most people describe the sensation as a quick rubber-band snap — and because brows and eyeliner are small, it's over fast.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Permanent makeup usually clears faster than body tattoos because the pigment sits at a shallower depth.
| Procedure | Sessions | |---|---| | Microblading / powder brows | 3–6 | | Old, dense eyebrow tattoos | 5–10 | | Partial fading (before new work) | 1–3 |
Eyeliner pigment is shallow too and responds in a similar range. Fresh work fades faster; heavily layered or old work takes more sessions. We give you a specific estimate at your first visit, after seeing the actual pigment.
A 6–8 week break between sessions is required either way.
Aftercare in Bali's Tropical Climate
The first 24 hours matter most:
- Cool the treated areas regularly — apply something cold (wrapped in a paper towel) for about 10 minutes at a time.
- After 24 hours, use the recommended healing cream.
- Avoid direct sun, pools, and the ocean for at least 5–7 days.
- Don't pick or rub the skin as it heals.
