Expert correction of failed or poorly executed SPMU brow, eyeliner, and lip work from other clinics — honest assessment, bespoke correction plan, medical oversight throughout.
Obsidian's SPMU correction service in Edinburgh helps clients whose semi-permanent makeup has faded incorrectly, changed colour, migrated outside the intended area, or was applied with poor technique at another clinic. Whether your brows have turned ashy or blue-grey, your eyeliner has spread or lost definition, or your lip blush has faded to an unflattering tone, our specialist practitioners can assess what is present and develop a realistic correction plan.
Not all SPMU correction cases are the same. Some require colour correction — layering a corrective tone over discoloured pigment to neutralise and restore natural brow colour. Others require partial or full removal before new pigment can be applied cleanly. In more complex cases, a multi-step programme combining removal sessions with staged re-pigmentation delivers the best long-term result. Your correction plan is entirely bespoke.
Every SPMU correction client at our Edinburgh clinic begins with a detailed in-person consultation, photographic assessment, and an honest conversation about what is realistically achievable. Our practitioners set clear expectations about sessions required, probable outcome, and timeline. Obsidian's correction work is frequently sought by clients let down elsewhere, and our medical-grade standards ensure the highest level of care.
Existing SPMU is photographed and assessed; pigment type and depth evaluated; most appropriate correction pathway identified.
Where existing pigment is too saturated or discoloured to correct directly, saline removal sessions are scheduled to lighten the area before new work is applied.
Once skin is in the correct condition for re-pigmentation, correction SPMU is applied. Technique and pigment selected based on the individual case.
Follow-up assesses healing and applies final refinements. Complex cases may include additional sessions.
In most cases, yes. Lightly faded or mildly discoloured brows are often correctable with colour neutralisation. Heavily saturated brows typically require saline removal sessions first. Our Edinburgh practitioners give an honest assessment of what is achievable in your specific case.
Not always. If existing pigment has faded to a manageable level, direct correction may be possible. Where pigment is very dark or has significantly migrated, removal sessions first significantly improve the outcome.
Yes. Ashy, grey, or blue-toned brows are one of the most common correction presentations. Colour correction using a warm-toned neutraliser, followed by re-pigmentation, restores a natural brow colour in most cases.
Simple corrections may be achievable in one to two sessions over 2–3 months. Complex corrections requiring removal followed by staged re-pigmentation may span 6–12 months or more.
Yes. We regularly treat clients with problematic SPMU from other providers. Our Edinburgh assessment focuses on what is present on the skin now and develops a correction plan accordingly.
In most cases, significant improvement is achievable. The final outcome depends on the original damage, pigment saturation and depth, and the skin's response to treatment. We always set realistic expectations — correction is a process, not a single session fix.
