You must be 18 years and over to undergo this treatment.

All removal services target and remove the ink differently. SALINE disturbs the pigment bringing it up and out of the skin and targets all colours including skin stain and can only be used on migrated eyeliner. Anyone that is allergic to Aloe Vera isn't able to have this treatment. LASER disperses the pigment but also pushes the ink further into the skin meaning the ink particles are expelled through your waste system. Laser has trouble with orange and yellow colours and can't remove skin stain. I personally prefer not to use laser on lip liner tattoos as the colour can flip to black.

Saline first, always. A few saline treatments will lighten the ink, bring it closer to the surface, breakdown the colours and soften any scarring. Finishing your treatment plan with laser will provide a much better result as the ink is closer to the surface, no ink will be hiding behnd scars and you wont be left with yellow brows.

- Avoid caffeine

- Avoid blood thinning medication i.e.ibuprofen

- Ensure you've adhered to the pre- appointment information you'll receive in your consultation form i.e. avoid skincare products/ facials, tans etc

This varies person to person, ink type, age of the cosmetic tattoo, the original artists handedness, number of top ups, your skin health, adhereance to aftercare and consistency with the treatment affects how quickly you'll see results. Please note this isn't a quick process. 8 weeks minimum healing time is required between appointments and treaments are adjusted according to t ]he outcome of the previous removal session.

Saline- 8 weeks between the first two treatments then 12 weeks after the third. This is repeated as necessary based on your results.

Laser- 12 weeks after your final saline treatment.

If you have had a bad cosmetic tattoo treatment then a saline treatment can be carried out up to 48 hours after the permanent makeup treatment or before scabs begin to form. The quicker you act the better the result as the skin is open and enables the solution to penetrate the skin and disrupt the pigment. I strongly advise you refrain from attempting any DIY removal treatments to avoid scarring and unnecessary bleeding. I can tell and will not carry out the treatment until at least 12 weeks have passed if this is the case. Please keep in mind multiple treatments may be required.

I do not supply/ apply numbing cream however you're welcome to purchase it from your local pharmacy and apply it BEFORE your appointment following manufacturers instructions. Please note: Numbing agents create a slight barrier between the laser and the ink which does affect the effectiveness of the treatment. It is also your responsibility to patch test the numbing cream a week before your treatment (not on the area to be treated) in case you have a reaction to it.
