Laser Removing on the Eyes
Okay, now let’s look at the nuances of removing permanent eye makeup. I would not recommend working with a laser on the eyelids at all and here’s why:
Since there are no approved methods when working with laser removal of permanent eye makeup. You should understand that when working with the eyelids you take great risks. Therefore, if you are not sure and are not ready to take risks, it is better not to do so.
Ideally, when removing permanent eyelid makeup should be used special shields that are inserted under the upper and lower eyelids and protect the eyeball.
But such shields are not that popular. They are not only difficult to be found but also difficult to be installed, because the installation requires special skills and is mainly done by ophthalmologists.
When installing, keratoprotectors and anesthetic drops should be used, as the eye cornea is a very sensitive area. Eye protection increases safety.
We need to understand how the laser is dangerous to the eyes. Let’s go to it.
The white of the eyes is a relatively safe zone for us and if we even accidentally get into it with a laser beam, the worst thing that can occur is pinpoint bleeding. The most dangerous is the effect of a laser on the iris and pupil. The wavelength of 1064 nm is dangerous for the retina.
The wave passes through all transparent media and damages the retina and the internal structure of the eye. Therefore, when working with the eyelids, we must avoid getting the beam into the iris and pupil.
Let’s consider such a moment. The client has permanent make-up of the eyelash area that turns into an eyeliner.
we can loosely divide the eye into three parts
If we work with the eyeliner removal, then it is relatively safe for us and for the client. Most clients just come to remove the eyeliner.
What we do when we remove the eyeliner
- We ask the client to close his eyes
- Ask the client to look with closed eyes in the opposite direction to the nose (from where we are going to remove the eyeliner).
Thus, at the place where we will work with the laser, we removed both the pupil and the iris of the eye and at this place we have the white shell of the eye, while we maximally pull the skin to the edge of the bone orbit of the eye and cover the eye with the glove to control it. This way it will be extremely safe to remove.
This is what concerns the eyeliner removal.
Next.
If we need to remove the entire contour of the eyelid:
- You work up to the middle by the edge of the laser spot
As soon as we reach the middle, we stop and ask the client to shift the gaze from the nose to the opposite side. Then we pull the skin closer to the nose and continue to work.
In this way, we make ourselves as safe as possible. Again, I repeat that you don’t have to do the removal of permanent eye makeup, if you are not confident and not ready to take responsibility. I explain this so that you could understand the process, in case you decide to do the procedure.
Be sure to use anesthesia such as EMLA when working on the eyelids, because it is a very sensitive area for removal.
It is a little easier with the lower eyelid, just drag the eyelid down as much as possible and ask the client to look up and slowly remove. Let’s summarize, when removing the permanent eyelid makeup, you need to control the location of the iris and pupil.
Speed – 1 hertz, because you need to control every flash.
We don’t touch eyelids with the new, untested lasers with the number of flashes of approximately 150-200 thousand. We work only from a long distance and preferably only with the eyeliners.
If there are white, beige pigments on the eyeliners/eyelids – we do not work with that.
Prepare clients morally to the fact that there may be swelling and bruising.
After the procedure, cool the place with a bag.
The unpleasant moments can still include that the permanent eyelid makeup is removed longer than any of the other areas. On average, it takes about 5-7 sessions to remove eyeliner, because the skin is thin there and has a lot of pigment.
Ask your questions in the comments, I will try to answer them.
Let’s move on to the next lesson and talk about carbon peeling.
