1. A method for removing a skin marking by using dermal disruption, the method comprising:
determining a first treatment area of skin of a patient using a primary template, the primary template comprising primary apertures;
securing in place the primary template on the skin of the patient;
marking the first treatment area of skin of the patient along borders of the primary apertures to outline primary tegulae;
disrupting the tissue in the primary tegulae to form an eschar in a first treatment session;
determining a second treatment area of skin using a secondary template, the secondary template comprising secondary apertures;
marking the second treatment area of skin along borders of the secondary apertures to outline secondary tegulae;
disrupting the tissue in the secondary tegulae in a second treatment session;
wherein at least one of the primary apertures is tapered such that a striped pattern of primary apertures and secondary apertures bend along a curved camber line of the primary template;
wherein the primary template is constructed based on the camber line comprising a first line that bisects a head of the primary template and a second line that bisects a tail of the primary template; and
wherein the two bisecting lines are connected by a tangent curve with a radius chosen to fit an eyebrow shape.
