Permanent Make-Up Removal

The laser breaks down the ink particles in the tattoo. The broken down ink is then absorbed by the body and carried out through the body’s lymphatic system.

On average, Semi permanent brows can take any thing from 2-5 sessions.
Tattoos require 8 – 12 sessions, with the session being 6 – 8 weeks apart. The amount of time required for the removal of a tattoo and the success of the removal varies with each individual. Factors influencing this include: skin type, location, colour, amount of ink, scarring or tissue change, and layering.

Treating more frequently than 6 – 8 weeks increases the risk of adverse affects on the skin and does not necessarily increase the rate of absorption. At each session, some but not all of the tattoo pigment particles are effectively fragmented, and the body removes the smallest fragments over the course of several weeks. The result is that the tattoo is lightened over time. Remaining large particles of tattoo pigment are then targeted at subsequent treatment sessions, causing further lightening. The number of sessions and spacing between treatments depends on various factors, including the area of the body treated and skin colour. Tattoos located on the extremities, such as the ankle, generally take longest. As tattoos fade, we may recommend that clients wait many months between treatments to facilitate ink resolution and minimize unwanted side effects. If you treat your tattoo too frequently, the laser is simply targeting the ink that it has already been fragmented but that your body hasn’t had enough time to remove completely.

Not knowing which tattoo ink was used, or how deeply it was applied, makes it impossible for the technician to predict the degree of removal on any given tattoo.

Everyone responds at a different rate. Most people will see a difference with every treatment over the 6 to 8 week period. Having a before photo available to look at helps.

Aloe Vera gel will be applied directly after the treatment has been done. If it has a burning sensation, you may apply an ice pack from the freezer. The treated area should be kept clean. If a scab forms it is vital that you do not pick or scratch it. Occasionally, there will be pinpoint bleeding associated with the treatment. We ask that you do not cover the area with anything, let air get to it. You may also get blisters associated with this treatment, this is perfectly normal. If that occurs, please protect the blisters, let them heal as naturally as possible. Do not pop the blisters. Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds during the healing process.
