What is a PMU Removal?
PMU removal lightens or removes unwanted permanent makeup, most often old, faded, discolored, or poorly shaped brows, eyeliner, or lip pigment. The two main methods are saline removal, which uses a tattoo machine to implant a saline solution that draws pigment to the surface as a scab, and laser removal, which uses a laser to shatter the pigment for the body to clear.
Each session takes 30 to 60 minutes and is spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. Most cases need a series of three or more sessions, and fading is gradual, not instant. Saline is often preferred near the eyes and for delicate work; laser can be faster but carries pigment-shift risks (some PMU pigments turn dark when lasered). Each session forms a scab that must be left to heal undisturbed.
Removal is slower and more nuanced than people expect, and certain pigment colors (white, flesh tones, some warm pigments) resist removal or can shift. A skilled removal specialist will set realistic expectations about how light your skin can get.
How much does a PMU Removal cost in Philadelphia?

- Do you recommend saline or laser removal for my pigment and location?
- How many sessions will I realistically need?

Frequently asked questions
How much does PMU removal cost in Philadelphia?
PMU removal in Philadelphia typically costs $165 to $440 per session. Because most cases need three or more sessions, total cost commonly runs $16500 to $1,500. Philadelphia offers a competitive mix of established practices and boutique studios, keeping prices close to the national median.
How many sessions does PMU removal take?
Most cases need three to five sessions spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. Older, lighter, or partially faded PMU may need fewer; dense, saturated, or recently done work needs more. Fading is gradual, so patience is essential.
Is saline or laser better for removing permanent makeup?
It depends. Saline is gentle, works on all colors, and is often preferred near the eyes and for correction. Laser can be faster but only targets certain pigments and risks shifting some PMU colors darker. Many specialists choose the method based on your pigment and the area.
