Safe and Effective Laser Tattoo & Permanent Makeup Removal. Safely Fade What No Longer Feels Like You
Whether you are ready to remove an unwanted body tattoo, correct old permanent makeup, or simply lighten existing pigment before having new work completed, Sacred Face Salon offers professional laser removal treatments in a private, supportive setting in Bastrop, TX.
Every tattoo is different. Pigment color, depth, age, placement, skin type, previous treatments, and the technique originally used can all affect how the ink responds. Your persoanlized treatment plan will be customized to your skin, your pigment, and your goals.
Safe, Precise Tattoo & Permanent Makeup Removal
Our state-of-the-art Pico laser targets ink particles with ultra-short pulses, breaking them down efficiently while minimizing skin damage. This advanced technology ensures a gentle, effective removal process, making it ideal for delicate areas like brows, lips, and eyeliner, while also being highly effective on body tattoos.
What We Treat...
Laser removal may be used for:
- Body tattoos
- Microblading
- Powder brows and microshading
- Permanent eyeliner
- Lip blush
- Partial tattoo or brow shape correction
- Pigment lightening before new permanent makeup or a cover-up
Complete removal is not always necessary. Some clients only want the pigment faded enough to allow for a more successful correction, redesign, or cover-up.
Tattoo Pigments Require Special Care
Tattoo pigments may contain multiple colors, including red, yellow, white, brown, or black. During treatment, a pigment may temporarily darken, lighten, or reveal an underlying color before it begins to fade. Because these reactions cannot always be predicted, an evaluation and test spot may be recommended before treating the entire area.
Laser removal may be appropriate when permanent makeup or your tattoo is:
- Too dark or saturated
- Uneven or asymmetrical
- Outside the desired shape
- Faded to an unwanted color
- Blurred or poorly aged
- Preventing a successful correction
*Complete removal and specific color outcomes cannot be guaranteed.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
There is no universal number of treatments.The number of sessions may depend on:
- Pigment color and composition
- Tattoo depth and density
- Age and location of the tattoo
- Professional versus amateur application
- Previous treatments
- Skin type and healing response
Whether your goal is lightening or full removal, your consultation will provide a more personalized estimate, but tattoo removal results can never be predicted with complete certainty.
What to Expect
Most clients describe the treatment as quick snaps of heat against the skin with very minimal pain.
Treatment time depends on the size and location of the area. Temporary reactions may include:
- Redness and swelling
- Tenderness
- Whitening or frosting
- Pinpoint bleeding
- Blistering
- Scabbing or crusting
- Temporary lightening, darkening, or color changes
Fading continues gradually in the weeks after treatment. You will receive detailed aftercare & aftercare instructions, and sessions will be spaced far enough apart to allow the skin to heal properly.
Who May Not Be a Candidate?
Treatment may need to be postponed or avoided if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have an active infection, rash, wound, or irritation
- Have recently tanned or used self-tanner
- Take medications that increase light sensitivity
- Have a history of poor wound healing or keloid scarring
- Have recently undergone another procedure in the treatment area
- Have a medical condition that may affect healing
A medical health screening with our nurse practitioner is required by law before treatment.

- Experience with the differences between permanent makeup and body tattoo pigments
- Honest expectations

You will never be pressured into treatment. If laser removal is not the safest or most appropriate option, that will be discussed honestly.
Other FAQs
Can a tattoo be completely removed?
Some tattoos fade significantly, but complete removal cannot be guaranteed. Results depend on the pigment, depth, skin, location, and individual healing response.
Can you remove only part of a tattoo or brow?
In some cases, yes. Laser may be used to target an unwanted section, brow tail, uneven area, or pigment outside the desired shape.
Can permanent makeup be lightened instead of fully removed?
Yes. Many clients only need enough fading to make a future correction or new permanent makeup possible.
Will laser removal cause scarring?
Any skin treatment carries some risk. Conservative treatment and proper aftercare help reduce complications. Existing scar tissue from the original tattooing process may become more noticeable as pigment fades.I
Is a consultation required?
Yes. A consultation allows us to evaluate the pigment, review your health history, discuss possible color reactions, and create an appropriate treatment plan.
