Understanding Scalp Micropigmentation Removal: What You Need to Know

August 19, 2025

Scalp micropigmentation (SMP) has become a popular solution for those seeking to restore the appearance of thicker hair or cover areas of hair loss. However, as with any cosmetic procedure, there are occasions when someone may wish to reverse their results. Whether you’re dealing with an unsatisfactory outcome or simply want to return to your natural look, understanding scalp micropigmentation removal is essential. At Unthink Inc., located in Ajax, ON, we offer advanced laser removal services specifically designed to safely and effectively address unwanted scalp pigmentation. Read on to discover everything you need to know about scalp micropigmentation removal, from how it works to what you can expect during and after treatment.


Why Choose Scalp Micropigmentation Removal?


There are several reasons you might consider scalp micropigmentation removal. Some clients may be unhappy with their SMP results due to colour, shape, or fading inconsistencies. Others may experience pigment migration, resulting in a blurred or unnatural appearance. Some individuals simply change their minds about the look, choosing to embrace their natural scalp or explore other hair restoration options. Whatever your reason, professional removal ensures your scalp is treated safely and effectively.


How Does Laser Scalp Micropigmentation Removal Work?


At Unthink Inc., we use the PicoWay laser, which is among the most advanced tattoo removal systems available today. Unlike traditional tattoo removal lasers, the PicoWay emits ultra-short pulses in picoseconds, allowing us to target pigment particles more precisely and break them up into much smaller fragments. These tiny particles are then naturally absorbed and removed by your body’s immune system.


Laser SMP removal works by delivering controlled bursts of laser energy directly to the pigmented areas. The energy shatters the ink deposits without causing significant damage to the surrounding skin, making it an ideal option for the delicate scalp. The process is personalized for each client based on pigment colour, skin type, and the extent of the treatment.


What to Expect During Scalp Micropigmentation Removal


Every SMP removal journey at Unthink Inc. begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this session, our owner and certified laser operator, Jim—an experienced Registered Nurse—will assess your scalp and discuss your goals. We’ll create a tailored treatment plan to ensure optimal results and safety throughout your sessions.


Laser removal itself is usually well-tolerated, but you may experience mild discomfort, similar to the sensation of a rubber band snapping against the skin. Sessions are relatively quick, and most clients require multiple treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve the desired results. The total number of sessions can vary depending on ink depth, pigment colour, and your body’s healing response.


Aftercare and Recovery: What You Should Know


Proper aftercare is key to successful SMP removal and healthy skin recovery. Following each session, you may notice minor redness, swelling, or mild tenderness—these effects typically subside within a day or two. We advise clients to keep the area clean, avoid excessive sun exposure, and refrain from picking or scratching at any scabbing that may form. Following Jim’s aftercare instructions will help promote smooth, even healing and the best aesthetic result.


Is Laser SMP Removal Safe for All Skin Types?


Laser technology has evolved considerably in recent years. Our PicoWay system is safe and effective on all skin types and can efficiently remove various SMP pigment shades, including difficult colours that older lasers struggled to treat. Our hands-on approach at Unthink Inc. ensures that each client receives genuinely personalized care and consistent oversight from an experienced medical professional—every step of the way.

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. Removing Eyebrow Tattoos: A Step Toward Confidence Deciding to remove your eyebrow tattoos is a personal choice often motivated by the desire for self-confidence and comfort. At Unthink Inc., we're committed to supporting our clients through the removal process, providing professional care and guidance every step of the way.
