You Deserve Better

A Fresh Start, Without Judgement

We understand that coming to us can take courage. Many of our clients arrive having had SPMU treatment elsewhere that left them feeling upset, embarrassed, or stuck with results they hate. Whether your brows have faded to an unflattering tone, the shape no longer suits your face, or your treatment simply did not deliver what was promised — we are here to help.

Our approach is straightforward: we assess your existing SPMU honestly, explain your options clearly, and work with you to achieve the best possible outcome. No false promises. No pressure. Just skilled, compassionate care.

  • Specialist assessment of existing SPMU — honest, thorough, and pressure-free
  • Multiple removal methods to suit your skin type and pigment depth
  • Colour correction to neutralise unwanted undertones (grey, blue, orange)
  • Shape correction to rebalance asymmetry or update an outdated style
  • Patch testing and gradual treatment protocols for sensitive skin
  • Serving New Town, Stockbridge, Morningside, and across Edinburgh

Treatment Options

Our SPMU Removal & Correction Services

Every client’s situation is different. During your consultation at our Edinburgh clinic we will advise which approach — or combination of approaches — is most appropriate for your skin, your pigment, and your goals.

Laser Removal

Q-switched laser technology targets and breaks down pigment beneath the skin. Highly effective for darker, more saturated pigments. Multiple sessions may be required depending on pigment depth and colour. Sessions are spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow full healing between treatments.

Most effective for dark pigment

Saline Removal

A natural, osmotic removal method using a specialist saline solution. Suitable for all pigment colours and skin types, including those where laser is not appropriate. Works by drawing pigment to the skin’s surface over a series of sessions. Gentler than laser for sensitive skins.

Suitable for all skin types

Colour & Shape Correction

For SPMU that has shifted to an undesirable hue — ashy grey, warm orange, or blue — colour correction techniques neutralise and rebalance the tone. Shape correction addresses symmetry issues, outdated arch styles, or mapping that no longer suits your face. Often achieved without full removal.

Your Journey

What to Expect

We take time to understand your situation fully before recommending any treatment. Our process is designed to be transparent, comfortable, and tailored to you.

  1. Initial Consultation

    We begin with a thorough assessment of your existing SPMU: pigment type, depth, colour, age, and the condition of the treated skin. We discuss your goals — full removal, partial fading, correction, or a combination — and explain which options are most realistic for your situation.

  2. Patch Test & Planning

    A patch test is carried out where appropriate. We create a written treatment plan including the recommended method, estimated number of sessions, spacing between sessions, and expected outcomes at each stage. No surprises.

  3. Treatment Sessions

    Removal and correction is a gradual process. Each session is performed carefully to minimise discomfort and allow your skin adequate recovery time between appointments. We monitor progress at each visit and adjust the approach as needed.

  4. Healing & Review

    Full written aftercare instructions are provided after each session. It is essential to protect treated areas from sun exposure and to keep the skin moisturised as directed. Results continue to develop during the healing period between sessions. At the end of your treatment course, we review the outcome together and discuss any next steps.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Most old or unwanted SPMU can be removed or significantly faded using laser or saline removal methods. The approach depends on the pigment type, colour, depth, and age of the existing work. During your consultation at our Edinburgh clinic, we assess your SPMU thoroughly and recommend the most effective removal method for your situation.
This varies considerably depending on the pigment type, colour, depth, and age of your SPMU, as well as your skin type and the removal method used. Laser removal typically requires 4–8 sessions for significant fading, with complete removal taking longer in some cases. Saline removal may require a similar number of sessions. During your consultation, we will give you a realistic assessment based on your specific situation — we never make promises we cannot keep.
Laser removal uses Q-switched laser technology to break down pigment beneath the skin — highly effective for darker, more saturated pigments. Saline removal uses a specialist saline solution to draw pigment to the surface — suitable for all pigment colours and skin types, including those where laser is not appropriate. Certain pigments containing white or titanium dioxide can sometimes darken initially with laser, which is why an experienced assessment before treatment is essential. During consultation, we recommend the best method for your specific pigment and skin.
Discomfort levels vary by method and individual. Laser removal can feel like a quick snap against the skin — most clients describe it as tolerable. Saline removal is generally gentler. We take your comfort seriously and apply topical numbing cream prior to treatment. Our practitioners work at a pace that suits you, and we will never rush a session.
Our Edinburgh clinic is located inside Brows and Nails at Gyle Shopping Centre, Edinburgh EH12 9JY. We serve clients from across Edinburgh including New Town, Stockbridge, Morningside, and surrounding areas. The Gyle is easily accessible by car and public transport with ample free parking available.
Our Edinburgh clinic at Gyle Shopping Centre is open Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. If these days do not suit your schedule, our Glasgow clinic at 101 St Georges Rd is open Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday — so between both locations, we can accommodate most schedules.
