Salt & Saline Removal

---

Have your eyebrows have turned grey overtime?Maybe they've been tattooed in the wrong position and you just dont feel like you when you look in the mirror?

Unfortunately,  we have have seen and corrected lots of bad microblading and permanent make up.

There are techniques to improve and correct permanent make up which may have gone wrong or changed in the skin over time.

Correction is often a process and unfortunately there is rarely a quick fix.  The golden rule is the more the pigment has faded the easier it is to correct. The quality of the skin in the area is very important as it will be the canvas for your new eyebrow design.

PLEASE NOTE:  the eyebrow pigment will often not have to be completely removed to correct but it often needs to be significantly lighter to sit behind the new design. 

Colour Correction workPermanent make up often needs adjustmentover time as the pigment ages in the skin.The biggest mistake at people often make ishaving their eyebrows topped up too manytimes. This can leave them with unwantedcolour tones of murky pigment and layers ofscar tissue. I have seen grey, blue, orange, pinkand purple tones in old pigment.Sometimes if the eyebrow is too saturatedonly removal of the pigment will correct this.However, if the area is faded then correctionmay be possible and corrective toners may beapplied in some casesColour adjustment can also be achieved bybringing the pigment to the surface of theeyebrow using lightening treatments. This canrevive and refresh the colour sometimes,especially when they are grey on tone.

THE RULESThe skin is like a sponge and it will only hold a certainamount of pigment. When an eyebrow is full ofpigment (highly saturated), you can not cover it upwith new pigmentI will not cover up old pigment if it is not in the rightplace.If you need your eyebrows reducing in size you willneed some sort of removal process.if pigment is not removed, it will show through.Hairstrokes are difficult and sometimes impossible tohold on previously traumatised skin. In this cases anombre or powder brow is the best choice.REMOVAL & LIGHTENINGRemoval sounds scary but it often isn't asbad as people think.Saying that, it isn't a quick fix - sorry thereis no such thing!Correction work is always a process.Never fixed in one treatment but whenyou are back on track, minimalmaintenance is required

Non Laser Removal method is safe for removal of scalpmicropigmentation, microbladed eyebrows, lips, eyeliner andbody tattoos and it is A LOT less painful than laser tattooremoval. This removal technique, can lighten or removepigment and ink migration. It works on all colours and it evencan help to break down scar tissue in the area using needling.The other main method of removal is Laser.Laser removal can be very painful and when breaking downthe pigment/ink, the body absorbs the ink/pigment andremoves it through the lymphatic system. Some lasers onlyfocus on certain colours of pigment due to frequencies butthere are now some very advanced laser systems which arevery effective on multiple frequencies.Non Laser removal works completely differently to laser. Itdraws the pigment/ink from the skin upwards minimisingsubstances being absorbed by the body which is a far moreeffective, safer and a pain free alternative.How long will it take andhow many sessions?Depending on the type and saturation of yourprevious tattoo will determine how manysessions is needed. Because the pigment islifted up through the skin, it may take a whileto reach the surface. In that time the pigmentmay change colour as it comes up through theskin. If you have had several sessions of pmuin the area, the removal process will lift themout layer by layer and revealing more oldpigment as it goes.

Results can vary from customer tocustomer and we can never guaranteethat pigment will disappear completely.This will be discussed prior to treatment.In a small number of cases, Pigment maydarker after the first treatment. In the caseof colour correction work, it may changethe colour as it lifts, at least to a stagewhere you are more comfortable with thetone or to the level at which it can becorrected. In some cases, customers mayrequire 2 - 3 treatments and some up to 6.Removal solution will be applied to the area using a tattoo machine. A secondarynumbing solution will be applied after the first pass/ application to make the procedurecomfortable. The session will take up to 1 hour.The risks of the procedure1.That the pigment doesn’t lighten due to saturation, depth or pigment type2.Scarring can occur if the client picks or scratches at the area. They will scab and wewant them too, as this will help the pigment lift. But the scabs must fall off naturally.3.If you suffer from hypo/ hyperpigmentation then having this procedure may causethis to worsen. The same applies for semi permanent make up procedures.4.The area will appear red, maybe swollen and sore to touch afterwards. It will flakeand scab in most cases. you will not be able to disguise it while the crusts arepresent. You have to treat this as a wound.The benefits of the treatmentPigment is removed from the skin over time to lighten the areaThe tone of the pigment can change as its brought forward towards the upper layersof the skin.Removal can get the pigment to the saturation point to the level in which furtherwork can be done.The process can assist with improving the condition of the skin as the needlesimulates collagen and breaks down scar tissue.Lightening and/or removing unwanted pigment is a long process andpatience is required. This is true whether you are choosing a lighteningproduct service or laser. Please be patient and give the process a fair chanceto work. You can expect visible and wanted results in 3 to 6 sessions.How many sessions needed will depend on how saturated the pigment is,how deep it was implanted and how much needs to be removed for thedesired result. In many cases only a percentage of the density needs to belightened/removed and then we can continue the correction process bycolour correcting.In those cases where we have pigment misplaced or in an unwanted area,colour correcting will not be an option and removing as much of the pigmentas possible will be our ultimate goal.The rate at which the pigment lifts is determined by:-How deep the pigment has been placed into the skin.How long the pigment has been there.How saturated the pigment is ie, how many layers.The type of pigment used, carbon based tattoo ink is harder to remove thaniron oxide based pigment.There are two types of removal solutions that I use here at the clinic.
