For anyone who has ever gotten an eyebrow tattoo (including by any other name such as microblading), it’s observable that the pigment will gradually fade over time. In some cases the fading seems to be either too quick or not so gradual, and in other cases the fading seems to entail a dramatic alteration in […]

After a successful non-laser tattoo removal procedure, the affected skin may still be somewhat reddish or pink while all or much of the ink is at least gone. This is a normal response after disrupting the skin’s epidermis which may heal with some superficial scabbing. Underneath the scabs (which act like a temporary, self-timing Band-aid) […]

Thanks to the delta variant leading Covid’s latest surge these last few months, indoor masking is a requirement again which means that all clients are required to come in wearing a face mask which can only be removed when receiving an under-the-mask procedure. So if you’re getting a procedure in which the mask doesn’t need […]

Decades old eyebrow tattoos that may appear all but faded and yet still not nearly enough can still greatly benefit from the non-laser tattoo removal.

During a recent virtual course on laser and aesthetic skin therapy, dermatologist Omar A. Ibrahimi, MD, PhD, said doctors “don’t really know what’s in a lot of these ink residues” when they are targeted by various laser tattoo removal machines. “We know they’re getting mobilized and some of it’s going into the lymphatics. What’s happening […]

Eyebrow disasters happen. Regardless of the cause, it’s important to acknowledge that sometimes people are less than happy with the microblading procedure that they had been so enamored with on Instagram now that it’s on their face. Due to the lack of reliable information available, it’s hard to find solid answers. So, we’re here to […]

That depends on your brows and what needs to be removed. Whether it’s the whole eyebrow or just part of the brow, I can’t weigh in with an opinion until I see the situation. So while yes, it is possible to perform the removal on some parts of the brow and not others, as fine […]

Just like with a typical a cosmetic tattoo procedure, a cosmetic tattoo removal procedure should not negatively impact your skin in any way when done properly, much less require any significant recovery. Some mild redness and swelling should be expected over the next few hours and should greatly subside after the first 24 hours (applying […]

While all clients need to be informed that there is no guarantee of any certain outcome because of the unpredictability of human skin when it comes to any invasive cosmetic procedure, it’s highly unlikely that tattoo removal will generate scarring if performed properly and the client has been screened as a suitable candidate for the procedure.

Technology certainly make things more convenient, but as of right now, a good old fashioned in-person consultation remains vastly more helpful than a virtual one. A two-dimensional screen does not allow me to fully assess a client’s skin tone, skin condition, and any previously existing color or condition. (Sorry, but even your best close-up shots […]

Yes, makeup or concealer is fine to use on the new, pink skin that appears after the unwanted ink is lifted out. You can expect the new skin to repigment on its own just as it would if you had injured the surface of the skin and caused a scab to form as the skin healed itself. […]

Non-laser tattoo removal is a chemical extraction process whereby the tattoo removal solution only targets the ink (regardless of its color) in the skin and does not affect hair growth either way. Laser tattoo removal, on the other hand, targets color and may have the effect of destroying any pigmented hair in the affected area. […]

I use a saline tattoo removal solution for the removal of permanent eyeliner. Please keep in mind key factors that affect the degree or success of any tattoo removal: 1. How long have you had it?

It is faster and easier to obtain a body or makeup tattoo than it is to remove either one. Depending on the individual and the tattoo, every tattoo removal method requires multiple treatments and time for the skin to heal. The number of sessions depends upon the color, size, shape, and location of the tattoo. […]

For removing permanent eyeliner tattoos I’ve been using a saline-based formula for over a decade which has proven to be safe and effective for the delicate eye area. While old tattoos tend to take more time to remove due to the fact that the longer the ink has been in the skin, the more embedded […]
