From Scars to Smooth: The Process of SMP Removal

June 4, 2025

If you’re considering reversing your scalp micropigmentation (SMP), you’re not alone. Many individuals seek SMP removal for various reasons, such as dissatisfaction with the initial results or a change in personal style. At Unthink Inc., we specialize in helping our clients achieve the look they desire, providing a safe and effective solution with our PicoWay laser technology. In this blog post, we’ll dive into the process of SMP removal, how it works to lighten pigments and reduce scarring, and why Unthink Inc. is the right choice for this transformative service.


What is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)?


Scalp micropigmentation is a non-surgical procedure that uses detailed micro-needles to deposit pigment into the scalp. The purpose of SMP is to create the illusion of fuller hair by replicating natural hair follicles and adding density to thinning areas. While SMP can be a confidence booster for many, some find the results too permanent for their liking or are unsatisfied with the way the pigment settles over time. 


The Need for SMP Removal


There are several reasons why someone might seek SMP removal. It could be a change in personal preferences, dissatisfaction with the original artist’s work, pigment color changes over time, or a desire to remove any visible scars. Regardless of the reason, SMP removal can significantly benefit those seeking a fresh start. Understanding the process and outcomes can help anyone contemplating this decision.


Introducing PicoWay Laser Technology


The key to effective and safe SMP removal lies in the advanced PicoWay laser technology used at Unthink Inc. Unlike traditional laser treatments, PicoWay employs ultra-short picosecond pulses that precisely target and break down pigmented cells in the scalp. The energy pulses are so brief that they minimize heat exposure to the skin, reducing the risk of burns or scars and ensuring a faster healing process. As the pigmented cells are broken down, they are gradually absorbed and expelled by the body’s natural processes.


The Process of SMP Removal


1. Consultation and Assessment

Before beginning your SMP removal journey, a thorough consultation at Unthink Inc. is essential. During this session, our experienced professionals will assess the current condition of your SMP and discuss your expectations. This initial step is crucial for creating a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.


2. The Removal Sessions

SMP removal typically requires multiple laser sessions for optimal results. The number of sessions depends on factors such as the saturation level, pigment depth, and individual healing response. Each session is relatively quick and involves targeting the pigment with PicoWay’s targeted laser energy. 


3. Recovery and Aftercare

Following each session, some temporary redness or sensitivity in the treated area is normal. Our team will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to enhance healing and reduce any discomfort. These guidelines include keeping the area clean and using recommended soothing ointments.

Eyebrow tattoos have become an increasingly popular beauty trend, offering a semi-permanent solution for those seeking perfectly shaped and defined brows. However, not everyone ends up satisfied with their results. Whether it's due to a change in aesthetic preferences, an allergic reaction, or less-than-desirable outcomes, you might find yourself considering removal. At Unthink Inc. , we specialize in helping clients achieve the look they want through effective removal methods. Here’s a comprehensive guide on when to consider eyebrow tattoo removal with a combination of saline injections and laser treatment. Understanding Eyebrow Tattoos and Their Risks Before diving into when to consider removal, it's crucial to understand what eyebrow tattoos entail. Typically, these tattoos are a form of cosmetic tattooing, where pigment is implanted into the skin to create the appearance of fuller, darker eyebrows. While many are thrilled with the results, there are potential risks involved. The process can cause skin damage, infections, or allergic reactions, which in turn may lead you to reconsider your decision. Symptoms Indicating Removal Might Be Necessary 1. Faded or Uneven Pigment: Over time, the pigment used in eyebrow tattoos can fade or turn into an undesirable color, especially with exposure to sunlight. If your eyebrow tattoos have started to look uneven or have changed color, it might be an indication that removal is your best option for a fresh start. 2. Allergic Reactions: Unfortunately, not everyone’s skin reacts well to tattoo pigments. Allergic reactions can result in redness, itching, or swelling. If you experience these symptoms, removal could alleviate discomfort and help restore your skin to its natural state. 3. Discomfort or Scarring: The tattooing process can sometimes damage your skin, causing discomfort or scarring. If your eyebrow tattoos have left visible scars or if you have ongoing discomfort, removal can potentially improve the appearance of your skin, reducing both visible and physical distress. 4. Change in Aesthetic Preferences: Your style and preferences can evolve over time. What seemed like a perfect choice five years ago might no longer align with your current taste or beauty goals. If your eyebrow tattoos don't fit your desired look anymore, removal offers a safe and effective way to reclaim your natural brows. The Dual Approach: Saline Injections and Laser Tattoo Removal For those considering removal, Unthink Inc. offers a unique approach combining saline injections and the PicoWay laser treatment. This dual method is designed to deliver optimal results tailored to individual client needs. 1. Saline Injections for Lighter Pigments: In some cases, saline injections may be recommended to lift lighter pigments before proceeding with laser treatment. This helps to create a more uniform appearance and prepares the brows for effective laser removal. Our specialists, will work closely with you to coordinate the saline process, ensuring a smoother transition to laser treatments. 2. PicoWay Laser for Final Touches: Once the lighter pigments are addressed, the PicoWay laser is employed to remove the remaining darker elements of the unwanted brows. Known for its precision and safety, this state-of-the-art technology targets the tattoo pigment with minimal impact on the surrounding skin. Preparing for Your Removal Session Before undergoing treatment, a consultation with a qualified specialist at Unthink Inc. is vital. We’ll assess your tattoos and discuss your goals and expectations. Here are some tips to prepare for your session: - Avoid sun exposure at least two weeks before your appointment to reduce skin sensitivity. - Refrain from using topical creams or medications that can make your skin more sensitive. - Communicate any skin conditions or concerns with your technician. Recovery and Aftercare Post-treatment care is essential for optimal results. After your session, you may experience some redness or swelling around the treated area. To ensure a smooth recovery, follow these aftercare tips: - Avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen as advised. - Keep the treated area clean and moisturized. - Refrain from picking at any scabs or flaky skin.
