TATTOO REMOVAL
Have your brows faded into a blue or red colour overtime? Or are you unhappy with the shape of your brows? Tattoo removal with a specialised solution can be performed to safely remove your unwanted tattoo. This method targets ALL colours equally, and does not remove your brow hairs.
The solution is a non-acid, fruit seed extract removal product that is vegan certified, and consists of pigment lightening and skin conditioning ingredients. This method lifts unwanted pigment up from the deeper layers underneath and flushes it out from within the skin, leaving a smooth, blank canvas. You can either redo your brows or tattoo to your desire, or leave your skin clear as you wish.
Emergency brow tattoo removal is also available. If you are unhappy with your freshly tattooed brows, we can help remove your brows within the first 48hrs after your tattoo session.
Treatments available for:
-
Brows

Emergency removal within 48hrs of your tattoo session

Small tattoos (approximately 2-3cm in width and length)

What happens during and after your tattoo removal sessions?
What are the side effects and complications?
-
Swelling and tenderness is expected, especially in the first 2-3 days of after your procedure
-
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can occur due to the inflammation caused to the skin, however, this is temporary and will subside with time.
-
Hypopigmentation can also occur due to inflammation, where a test patch is recommended prior to the actual procedure -
-
Cold sores may be activated if we are removing lip tattoo (please take anti-virals before and after your procedure to reduce this risk) -
-
There is a small risk of infection as with any procedure, however, we practice sterile techniques and we make sure your skin is cleaned before and after procedures to further reduce this risk. -
-
Potential scarring if aftercare is not performed carefully
When will I see results and how many sessions do I need?
Pre-Treatment Care
What are the post-care instructions involved?
-
Use any products or make-up to conceal your treatment area until the skin has healed (they may contain bacteria or ingredients that may interfere with the healing process, and may require rubbing for removal which may develop scarring or undesired results from accidental removal of the crusts) -
-
Cover the treatment area with a dressing, band-aid or anything else as air/oxygen helps promote faster and better healing -
-
HOWEVER, if you operate in high-risk areas, an occlusive dressing is recommended to prevent any cross infection. Some high-risk areas include, but are not limited to: gyms, schools, hospitals, health-care facilities, high public traffic areas such as airports, grocery stores, etc -
-
Use ice to reduce swelling or bruising -
-
Remove, pick, or peel off the crusts that develop from the procedure. The -
scabs need to fall off naturally (you may feel itchy as the scabs are flaking off, please try to refrain from scratching accidentally as this can cause scarring or undesired results – the scabs need to stay on for as long as possible to achieve optimum results) -
-
Soak the treated area in water (you can shower as normal but keep the area dry as best as you can and do not let the area stay wet for more than a few minutes. Gently pat any moisture dry with a clean paper towel)
-
Increased sweating/practicing sports
-
Swimming, hot sauna, hot bath, jacuzzi, steam room
-
Sun tanning/tanning salon (UVR and chemicals have been known to shift colour and decrease pigment retention)
-
Any laser/chemical peels/facial treatments
-
Any topicals/skincare containing Vitamin A (RetinA, retinol) or glycolic acids on the face and neck
-
Performing heavy tasks (eg. household cleaning – garage or basement cleaning, as these can cause increased sweating and involves airborne debris)
-
Drinking excess alcohol (slows down wound healing)
-
Driving in open air vehicles to prevent dust or dirt (convertibles, bikes, boats, motorcycles)
-
Direct contact with treatment area with unclean hands (please thoroughly wash your hands prior to touching your treatment area)
-
Continue to gently blot off (NOT RUB) the ooze over the next few hours after your procedure with a slightly moist paper towel/tissue
-
DRY HEALING and open to the air is best recommended for optimal results and better healing
-
Gently cleanse the area by blotting with saline 3-4 times a day using a clean paper towel or gauze
-
Try to keep the treatment area dry/not soaked when showering (please turn your back to the shower and gently dab/blot the area dry with a clean paper towel)
-
Watch out for signs of infection (fever, redness, swelling, pus, tenderness, heat, odour, red streaks from treatment site), and contact your physician IMMEDIATELY if these start to appear
-
Once completely healed, always apply SPF 30+ on your treatment area when leaving the house. Sun exposure can induce hyper or hypo-pigmentation
-
Once scabs have fallen off, apply 1 drop of vitamin E oil 3-4 times throughout the day for a minimum of 4 weeks or until the next session (DO NOT apply while scab is still there)
-
LIPS – please drink liquids through a straw until scabbing has fallen off, cut/bite food in small pieces and do not allow food to touch the treated area, try to keep expressions to a minimum to avoid accidental peeling of scab, and do not use products with whitening ingredients or peroxides during the peeling process)
