theskinqueue laser tattoo removal on microblading (powder) brows after just two sessions!

Microblading removal with a tattoo removal laser works fast to remove semi-permanent ink.

However, not all microblading removal is the same. The amount of sessions needed can vary depending on how many microblading touch ups there were, the type of ink used, how deep it was tattooed and the age of tattoo.

Microbladed ink can go through different color changes when being removed. Some inks can turn rust color, orange or yellow while being removed which then requires multiple sessions.

Microblading removal can take 2-6 sessions and does not burn or remove any remaining eyebrow hair.

To receive a free consultation for microblading removal give us a call at The Skin Queue in Ventura.

Starting this September I’ll be there every Tuesday.

“Pico” just means how fast the pulses are going into the skin

Also at the in-service, trainers may not be going up higher than the presets so if you didn’t get results during your in-service, it was because your settings were not therapeutic and too low

NEW INJECTABLES ON THE HORIZON 💉✨

The aesthetics industry is evolving—and the upcoming years are bringing some exciting new options for both neuromodulators and dermal fillers.

Here are 4 injectables to have on your radar:

🔹 Relfydess™ | Galderma
A ready-to-use liquid neuromodulator designed to eliminate reconstitution. It has demonstrated early visible results and potentially longer duration than some existing Type A toxins.

🔹 TrenibotE™ | AbbVie
A next-generation Type E toxin designed with a faster onset and shorter duration. This could be particularly interesting for patients who want temporary results, are nervous about committing to toxin, or may have reduced response to Type A toxins.

🔹 Saypha® MagIQ™ | Croma-Pharma / Obagi®
An HA filler focused on predictable injection behavior, natural tissue integration and subtle correction. Its MACRO core technology creates a stable 3D HA matrix and is reported to last up to 12 months.

🔹 Evolysse™ Sculpt | Evolus
A volumizing HA filler designed specifically for midface volume restoration. Its cold manufacturing technology is intended to preserve the filler’s natural structure and may contribute to less post-placement swelling.

The big shift?

Injectables are moving beyond simply “filling” or “freezing.”

We’re seeing more emphasis on onset, duration, tissue integration, predictability, movement, swelling and patient-specific outcomes.

For aesthetic clinicians, staying educated on emerging technologies will be just as important as mastering the products we already use.

There’s a problem with the laser industry……

07/31/2026

The term “aesthetic injector” has become incredibly popular—but our profession is so much bigger than injections.

Many of us aren’t just injecting neurotoxins and fillers. We’re performing laser treatments, microneedling, RF microneedling, IPL, skin rejuvenation, chemical peels, medical-grade skincare consultations, scar revision, pigmentation treatments, and so much more.

That’s why I prefer the term aesthetic professional or aesthetic clinician.

Our value isn’t defined by a syringe—it’s defined by our knowledge of skin, anatomy, technology, safety, and our ability to create comprehensive treatment plans that help patients achieve their goals.

Whether you’re an RN, NP, PA, physician, or other licensed aesthetic provider, don’t limit your identity to one procedure. The field of aesthetics is constantly evolving, and the best clinicians continue learning across all treatment modalities.

We’re not just injectors.
We’re aesthetic professionals.

Over the last few days I’ve noticed there are lots of posts in aesthetic fb groups about poorly run places and toxic work environments.

When I started in aesthetics I didn’t have any clue what questions to ask or what to look for when applying for jobs. Unfortunately the first job I worked at 14 years ago was so poorly ran it was putting my RN license at risk, they were using illegal products, gfes weren’t being done, we were improperly trained on lasers but it did help me get my foot in the door.

You don’t know what you don’t know.

So a few years ago I started a blog post about getting your start in aesthetic nursing which also includes:
-questions to ask during interviews
-asking to shadow for a day to get an idea of the work environment
-asking about opportunities for growth and training
-checking the medical directors license to make sure it’s in good standing

And more

It’s about an 8 min read and it’s too long to post here but it answers alot of questions we get asked as experienced aesthetic nurses on how to get your start. An illegally ran, toxic work environment isn’t worth putting your hard earned license at risk.

I hope this will help others avoid the same situation I was in.

If you search my other blog posts I have also discussed going through a board investigation and why I advocate so much for nurses to make sure they are asking the right questions to potential employers.

Burnt out at bedside and thinking of making the switch to aesthetics? Its more complex than you think and aesthetics isnt for everyone, but can be very rewarding in the long run.
