FADE AESTHETICS

Fade Removal

Permanent makeup removal in Ottawa

I fade permanent makeup — eyeliner, lip blush and lip liner — with the Candela PicoWay picosecond laser. Most clients need a series of short sessions spaced several weeks apart, with minimal downtime. Sessions take 15–30 minutes inside a 1-hour booking, inside Be U Lounge on Merivale Road. Pricing is confirmed at your consultation.

How it works

  1. Consultation. I assess the pigment, its colour and placement, and we talk honestly about what fading can achieve.
  2. Treatment. Gentle laser passes over the area, with protection for your eyes wherever needed.
  3. Healing. Redness or swelling settles over a few days with simple aftercare.
  4. Review. We check the fade at each visit and adjust the plan until you're happy.

Is it right for you?

If your permanent makeup has shifted colour, blurred, or simply doesn't suit you anymore, fading it is a calm, gradual option. Some pigments need extra care, so an in-person assessment always comes first.

Most people can be treated safely, but please tell me first if any of these apply to you:

  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • You have taken Accutane (isotretinoin) in the last 6 months.
  • The area has recent sun exposure, a tan, or self-tanner.
  • You take a photosensitizing medication.

Rita reviews your health form before every first visit.

Common questions

Can permanent eyeliner be removed?
Yes, in many cases. Eyeliner removal is delicate work because of the area, so I assess it carefully first and use eye protection throughout. Some pigments respond better than others, and results vary.
Can you remove lip blush or lip liner tattooing?
Yes. Lip pigments can be faded with the PicoWay. Because lip pigments often contain warm tones that can shift during treatment, I'll always assess first and explain what's realistic for your colour.
Why did my permanent makeup change colour?
Pigments are blends, and the body clears each component at a different rate. Over time that can leave brows looking orange or grey, or liner looking blue. It's common, and it's usually treatable.
How many sessions will I need?
Most clients need a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. Cosmetic pigments vary widely, so I give you an honest estimate after seeing the area in person.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal for most clients. Expect redness and possible swelling for a few days, especially around the eyes and lips. I'll send you home with clear aftercare instructions.
Can I have new permanent makeup after removal?
Yes. Many clients fade old work so a new artist can start with a clean canvas. Once the skin has fully healed, re-tattooing is fine — I'll let you know when.
