Laser removal of permanent makeup brow pigment at Studio Kiku

Why Studio Kiku

Specialized in PMU. Trained for every pigment

PMU pigment behaves differently than tattoo pigment. Warm undertones, oxidation risk, and proximity to hair follicles all require a more careful approach. Our signature technique was developed specifically to address those challenges.

Most clients see significant fading after 1 to 2 sessions. Complete removal typically requires 3 to 6 sessions spaced 8 weeks apart.

What we treat

Brow Removal

$239 / session

We safely lighten, adjust, or completely remove PMU brows (microblading, powder ombre, nano strokes, and combo brows) without damaging hair follicles or causing scarring.

“I can't recommend Billy at Studio Kiku enough! I was so nervous about getting my microbladed eyebrows removed because you never know what colour might be hiding underneath. Billy immediately put me at ease, explained everything clearly, did a test spot first and then worked slowly and carefully to make sure everything looked good before continuing. The results after just one session were fab! I went back for a second appointment and despite being worried my brows might turn bright yellow, Billy's knowledge and skill gave me complete confidence. The results were amazing and I had my natural brows back! I'm so glad I came here. Thank you so much, Billy!”

“I recently had laser removal of old permanent eyebrow makeup that was over 10 years old, and I was quite nervous because I didn't know what to expect. From the moment I met Ailie, she made me feel completely at ease. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to explain everything clearly. The procedure itself was surprisingly quick, and before I knew it, it was over. When Ailie handed me the mirror afterward, we were both pleasantly surprised by the immediate results. I'm still in the healing stage, but my brows are already looking so much softer and more natural. The heavy, saturated look that had built up over the years has been significantly reduced, and I honestly feel like I look 10 years younger. I wasn't expecting such a noticeable improvement after just one treatment. Ailie was caring, reassuring, and highly skilled throughout the entire experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering permanent makeup removal. Thank you, Ailie, for making what I thought would be a stressful experience such a positive one! I would also like to give a shout-out to Crystal, who was so helpful and patient when I called with questions before my appointment. Her kindness and assistance made the entire process even easier. Thank you again.”

“I am so thankful I have been following Studio Kiku for a while now and had a consultation over a year ago. As things go in a busy life, a year went by and on a sunny day in a coffee shop, I noticed so many women with Microblading and thought... I am one of these women and I am not happy with my eyebrows anymore. It looks dated. So, I went home and booked my appointment. I saw Ailie and she was so wonderful. Knowledgeable, skilled and communicative. I appreciate this service and am looking forward to the next one. Thank you Ailie and Studio Kiku.”

I had a wonderful experience with Jamie today at Studio Kiku. She was very informative about the entire tattoo removal process and set realistic expectations for me. I had my first removal session on my brows today and there was significant improvement. I was very surprised at how much lighter they are after just one session. I'm looking forward to my final result. I am so happy they opened a Langley location, their office was very clean as well! I would recommend them for any tattoo removal services :)

I have had a few sessions at Studio Kiku Langley to have some permanent makeup removed. The space is clean, modern, and very welcoming. The staff are friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. Billy took the time to explain the process clearly and answer all my questions. Everything was extremely hygienic, and I appreciated how Billy made sure I was comfortable throughout the experience. I would definitely recommend this place if anyone is nervous about getting their tattoos removed, you will be in great hands.

Despite being heavily tattooed and working at a tattoo studio, I was very apprehensive about getting laser treatment. I'm so happy I went through with it at Studio Kiku with Billy. I had my brows microbladed 6 years ago and desperately needed to get them fixed. My brow row lady said it would be necessary to have the old pigment lasered away if I wanted to truly start fresh with better brows, so I decided to bite the bullet. My results exceeded what I expected going in.

Highly recommend! Everyone is friendly and professional. The studio is immaculate. They explain the process and expected results thoroughly and listen to your needs. I've had great results with PMU eyebrow removal at Studio Kiku. Their pricing is fair and competitive, and I'm a huge fan of their transparency. I've had laser removal done at a variety of different places and Studio Kiku is by far the best experience I've had.

I had my eyebrow permanent makeup removal done here the month ago and I honestly couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I walked in, the service was absolutely top-notch. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and professional. They made me feel comfortable and at ease right away. The space is clean, relaxing, and very well organized. Billy did an amazing job! He is knowledgeable, gentle, and clearly very experienced. He explained the entire process, answered all of my questions, and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. The results already look fantastic, and I'm so impressed with his attention to detail and care. I truly believe more people need to know about this place. Before coming here, I went to other technician who assured me that saline removal would definitely remove my old blue pigment, but that was not my experience at all. Unfortunately, I wasted time and money based on those promises. If you're considering eyebrow permanent makeup removal, I highly recommend this place. Outstanding service, a wonderful team, and truly exceptional work!

I went for my first eyebrow PMU removal today and saw Billy. He's informative, gentle and did an amazing job telling me the possible risk of color being left once the treatment is done. It's super fast but he does it slow enough so you aren't in any pain. I'm so excited to go back for my second appointment in 6 weeks. Make sure you do your research before you go get your eyebrows microbladed.. I would highly recommend Billy for removal 🫶🏼

The machine, expertise, and technique used to remove my microblading goes over and above what other tattoo removal shops have been able to do for me in the past and the results are unmatched! Thanks so much for all you guys do here!

Great location for tattoo removal! I went to Jamie. She did a great job walking me thru the process, what to expect, how long it would take and how to take care of the area after. Very professional. The service was quick. She checked on me during the treatment and kept updating me on the % completed which was so great. Would highly recommend!

He took the time to explain every step of the process in detail and answered all of my questions patiently. His professionalism and calm demeanor made all the difference. To my surprise, the procedure wasn't painful at all—dare I say it was even fun! The results are great so far, and I couldn't be happier.

From the moment I walked into Studio Kiku, I felt I was in good hands. I came in to have my brow tattoo removed, and I was genuinely amazed by the results, most of the black ink was gone after just one session. Billy, Kaori and Jamie were all so knowledgeable and professional, making the process smooth and reassuring. Their expertise truly shows in their work. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone considering tattoo removal.

PMU Removal FAQs

What our PMU clients ask before booking.

Studio Kiku offers laser PMU removal at its studios: Vancouver (329 East Broadway), Langley (Willoughby Town Centre), and Vaughan (3255 Rutherford Road, next to Vaughan Mills). Each studio offers a free consultation.

Brow removal, $239 per session. Lip blush removal, $250 per session. Tattooed freckle removal, custom quote. Test spots are $50 and will be deducted from the cost of the procedure if you decide to go through with it. Three-session packages are $575 for brow removal and $600 for lip blush removal. GST is not included in the prices listed above.

Our clients normally see significant fading after 1-2 sessions. On average, brows take 3 to 6 sessions, lip blush 2 to 3, and faux freckles 2 to 6 for complete removal. Each client is different, however, and results vary from person to person.

Scarring risk is low when treatments are performed conservatively by trained technicians, but no laser procedure is completely risk-free. We prioritize skin integrity, realistic settings, aftercare, and proper spacing between sessions.

You'll most likely see results right away, but the real fading happens gradually over the course of 1-2 months after your first session.

PMU pigment often includes warm undertones that are left behind after being targeted by the laser. We aren't able to predict whether your PMU will turn colours or not during the process, but we can do a test spot which will normally be a good indication of what to expect.

The PicoWay can target most colours including red, orange and yellow. We've had great success removing warm tones. However, there have been cases where we aren't able to remove the pigment completely.

Yes, you may apply makeup to the treatment area after 12 hours.

Yes. You should discontinue products containing retinols (Retin-A, Differin, etc.), or irritating skin products on the treatment area(s) 10 days before treatment to avoid increased redness and irritation.

We recommend waiting at least 12 weeks after your PMU session before starting the removal process.

We recommend waiting at least 12 weeks after your last laser session to get new PMU tattooed again.

For best results we suggest waiting until the lamination / tinting has completely faded before getting laser removal.

Depending on your unique case it may be possible to laser only a portion. We charge flat rates for brow removal, whether it's a small spot or the entire surface area.

No. It's best to postpone laser treatments until after you have given birth and have completely stopped breastfeeding.

Yes, we recommend protecting the treatment area from the sun for two weeks before and after your laser session.

We suggest waiting a minimum of 8 weeks between sessions for best results.

You may book your appointment online or by calling the studio. A credit card is required to hold the appointment.
