Permanent Makeup Removal in Chicago

7 clinics · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Permanent makeup removal covers the wider PMU world - lip blush, eyeliner tattoos, micropigmentation and older cosmetic tattooing - and it is a more specialized corner of the removal market than body tattoos. Cosmetic pigments behave differently from tattoo ink, so clinics that regularly handle PMU tend to advertise it as a distinct service. Pricing lands in a similar band to brow work: roughly $150-400 per session, with multi-session courses the norm. Because technique matters more here, weight experience heavily when comparing providers - ask how often they treat PMU specifically, then confirm the all-in package price at a consultation. Results vary by pigment and area.

Is PMU removal different from tattoo removal? +
Cosmetic pigments and delicate areas like lips and eyelids make PMU removal a more specialized service than body tattoo removal. Many providers use saline or laser methods depending on the case. Look for clinics that list PMU removal explicitly and ask about their experience with your specific treatment area.
How do I choose a PMU removal provider? +
Ask how frequently the provider treats permanent makeup, which methods they offer for your area, who performs the treatment and under what license, and what the full course costs. Compare a couple of consultations before committing - results vary, and a licensed provider should walk you through realistic expectations.

Why do Chicago quotes vary so much for the same tattoo? +
Studios price by size, ink and laser type, and some quote per session while others quote all-in packages - the same tattoo can look cheaper per session but cost more in total. Always compare the full-package number for your specific tattoo.
