"I bought the rights, but I did not buy the ride." You all know this joke? It sounds kind of ridiculous, but most of all the phrase emanates not humor, but frank ignorance, hidden danger. It becomes no less scary when the beautician decided to perform a laser tattoo removal, but is very far from the topic. But illiterate removal of the laser on the face of the pigment embedded under the skin leads to deformity of clients. In order to be in demand by a specialist in tattoo removal, one should know what and how to reduce contour makeup, what should be paid attention to during the execution of the session.
Laser tattoo removal
Beauticians say that working with lasers is easy. It is enough to familiarize yourself with the instruction, undergo training, in order to learn the nuances of operating the installations. Yes, at first glance, everything is easy. How do such "doctors" then manage to pick the wrong device? The price of laser removal pushes many people to open their salons. Beauticians who want to make a profit, but are not willing to invest in the business, buy something that is cheaper or is already familiar to them. Due to stinginess, gaps in knowledge, tattoo removal is performed by a fractional laser.
Buy for the information tattoo only need a neodymium laser. Its main function is the breaking up of artificially introduced and natural pigments. The device removes tattoo, tattoos, age spots, of different etiology. The price of a laser in Moscow is not low, but after spending time, the cosmetologist receives a universal apparatus, which has succeeded in removing acne, post-acne, and rejuvenation. The main advantage of a neodymium laser over many other devices is its safety. Influencing the paint for tattoo, the installation crushes it, allowing macrophages to cope with pigment particles.
Mistakes when removing tattoo
So, the first mistake in mixing the tattoo is the wrong choice of apparatus. The second mistake is the reluctance to understand the operation of the installation. The specialist must learn how to set the power, at what distance from the skin to place the nozzle. Despite the fact that the neodymium laser for tattoo removal is safe, a doctor who is lazy to learn how to work with the installation can cause harm to clients. A good tool, correct settings, respecting the distance between the nozzle and the skin will prevent the occurrence of bleeding during the removal and the formation of thick crusts after it.
If the operator decides to remove the tattoo with a non-neodymium installation, then his client will soon have to register for laser removal of scars. Properly exploiting new solid-state lasers, the doctor protects girls from scars and pigmentation. Having decided to remove the tattoo from an illiterate operator without a decent machine, the girls get a lot of blood, ichor, terrible swelling, wounds instead of eyebrows, scars. The doctor's claims that blood crusts, burns when removing a tattoo are the norm or an individual reaction to the laser, are lies or total illiteracy.
Haltur tattoo removal with a laser is fraught with the appearance of scars, which ultimately will lead customers to the door of a plastic surgeon. In order not to ensure that women also meet with an ophthalmologist, the beautician should not make the third fatal mistake - removing a tattoo without a laser without special eye glasses for clients. Do not let the price of laser removal, the performance of information tattoo without glasses blinded you. Follow the three rules (using only a neodymium instrument, studying the instructions, as well as passing training, using protective equipment) - and your clients will not run out.
Advantages of a Neodymium Laser
In cosmetology use several types of lasers. To remove the tattoo applied neodymium laser.
The advantages of a neodymium instrument is the principle of operation.. The aggregate produces a ray penetrating the tissues and affects the coloring pigment. By adjusting the power, you can completely destroy the pigment. Or carry out a partial correction by weakening the color saturation of the tattoo.
Advantages of tattoo removal with neodymium laser:
- Removes complex tattoo dark green, black and blue colors.
- Copes with a permanent make-up of red and brown shades.
- Neodymium laser does not affect hair follicles. Natural eyebrows do not suffer from exposure to the beam. Immediately after the session, the dark hairs of the eyebrows brighten, but this effect is temporary, new hairs will grow into a natural color.
- In rare cases, side effects occur.
Indications for the removal of tattoo
Permanent makeup makes life easier for women, because you will not need to use makeup daily. But it happens that the work of the tattoo master does not give the result that the client expected. May not like the new shape of the eyebrows or their color will seem too bright. In addition, fashion does not stand still. Therefore, the tattoo performed a year ago may simply become obsolete.
With the help of a laser technique you can completely remove the pigment, returning the natural shape and color to your eyebrows. Or make a correction, for example, to make the brow shade less bright.
Preparation and implementation of the procedure
If complete elimination of the effects of a tattoo is required, then it will not be possible to achieve the desired result in one session. The number of required procedures will depend on several points:
- pigment depths,
- types of coloring composition
- color intensity.
Removal of pigment is done in layers. If the makeup was multi-layered, then several sessions will be required. Dark shades are removed easier and easier than light, close to skin color. The laser beam simply "does not see" the bright pigments, so removing them can be extremely difficult.
At the stage of preparation for the procedure, the beautician should tell the patient about the procedure being performed and warn about possible negative consequences.
Preparation for the session is simple. It will be necessary to completely remove makeup, cleanse the skin and wipe the eyebrow area with an antiseptic solution. Hair must be removed from the face by a cap.
How is the removal
The pigment removal procedure is unpleasant, so that the patient does not hurt, local anesthesia is used. Most often, anesthetics are used in the form of a cream, the drug is applied to the eyebrows and left for 10-15 minutes for the agent to work. You need to be prepared that local anesthesia does not completely deprive the skin of sensitivity, a certain discomfort during the session can be felt.
Before you turn on the device, you must protect your eyes from the action of the laser. Therefore, the eyelids are covered with special protective glasses.
Pigment removal session does not last longIt usually takes a beautician 5-10 minutes. The laser beam is directed to the treated area, you need to ensure that one area of the skin is not irradiated for too long. During the session, there is a burning sensation, tingling, tearing may begin
Skin care after tattoo removal
Immediately after the session, the result can be scary. At the site of contact with the laser beam, there is redness, swelling. It is possible to separate the nodule or blood droplets. But this is a normal reaction, so you should not worry. Over time, the swelling will subside, the crusts disappear, and the skin heals without the formation of scars or scars.
The beautician should advise the patient on eyebrow care. Recommendations can be individualized, depending on the type of skin and its reaction to laser radiation.
Standard care after the procedure is as follows:
- try not to touch the treated skin with your hands,
- if some time is given off at the place of processing, then they should be carefully removed with sterile disposable wipes. Do not rub the skin, just gently blot the weeping area,
- if crusts form on the skin, it is impossible to tear them off, wait until the crusts disappear on their own,
- in the presence of wounds, it is recommended to periodically wipe the skin with a chlorhexidine solution,
- reddened areas smeared with D-panthenol.
During the week after the session it is necessary to exclude the ingress of water on the treated skin. Therefore it is necessary to do without washes, visits to the pool, bath. Do not use decorative cosmetics. Before going outside, you need to protect your skin from the action of ultraviolet radiation, otherwise, pigmented spots may occur on the treated areas.
The next pigment removal session is carried out after at least 3 weeks. However, the cosmetologist often recommends that patients take longer breaks between treatments. Everything will depend on the individual characteristics of the skin and its ability to recover.
Contraindications
Like any other procedure, laser tattoo removal has a number of contraindications. The procedure can not be done in the presence of the following diseases or conditions:
- diabetes,
- pregnancy and breastfeeding,
- endocrine pathologies,
- malignant neoplasms,
- immunodeficiencies,
- infectious diseases in the acute stage,
- the presence of wounds and colloidal scars in the treated area.
In addition, you can not conduct sessions, if the skin has recently tanned. And also in the presence of an allergic reaction to the laser light. Allergy propensity is detected by conducting a test outbreak.
Possible complications
Complications after the procedure occur infrequently. Immediately after the session, the appearance of extensive hematomas, edema, and redness may occur. These phenomena are temporary, they disappear in 5-7 days.
Another unpleasant consequence of the procedure is the aggravation of herpes. When patients are predisposed, it is recommended to start taking prophylactic antiviral drugs even before the session.
In rare cases, it is not possible to achieve a positive result. The most difficult to remove pigment, which consists of metal oxides. In this case, traces of the unsuccessful tattoo can remain, although they will become less noticeable.
Daria: I did permanent eyebrow makeup extremely unfortunate. About six months later, he swam, eyebrows acquired a strange shape, and the pigment itself is located islands. She turned to the salon, the master promised to correct the situation in 4 sessions. So far she has made only two, but the pigment has already become almost imperceptible. Soon I will get rid of a terrible look of eyebrows!
Maria: I did a tattoo of eyebrows at home, believing that the master was a professional. But the result was terrified, my eyebrows looked as if I had dipped my finger in the paint and casually painted arcs. I had to urgently look for a way to get rid of "beauty." This time, she didn’t risk with home-made masters, she turned to the salon. So far, only one session is done, and I already look not so scary. In a couple of weeks I'll go do the second procedure.
Natalia: I made a tattoo of eyebrows in the form of thin “strings”, I liked it at first, but then it became uncomfortable. I had a permanent deep and high-quality and did not go on their own. Even the laser had to reduce it for a long time, did 6 sessions with a break of 6 weeks. Fortunately, I managed to regain my natural eyebrows.
Laser tattoo removal is not an easy procedure. Trust the sessions to a professional beautician with relevant certificates and work experience.
What it is
Permanent eyebrow makeup does not always give the result you expected. Mistakes beautician and non-compliance with the rules for skin care lead to a distortion of the shape or shade of the tattoo. Minor errors are corrected for correction, but if the look of the eyebrows does not suit you at all, you will have to reduce the permanent. There is another option - to constantly mask it with makeup or a bang, but this does not always work.
If you come to the beautician, you will be recommended to remove the eyebrow tattoo with a laser. The most modern and safe method, it effectively removes the pigment from the skin, leaving no trace of it. The price is high, but this method has no side effects.
The beautician treats the eyebrows with a laser that affects only the pigment - the skin around is not damaged. Tattoo turns pale immediately, but for 1 time to get rid of it will not work. It will take from 2 to 8 sessions with a break of 1.5-2 months to remove the pigment without harm to health.
The laser method is used when you need to reduce a faded perm that changed the shade to an unnatural - blue, green, red. Some girls are bored with the shape or color of their eyebrows, others are constantly watching the fashion and want to be "in trend." In these cases, the laser technique is also used.
Sometimes this procedure is medically necessary. If the master used a poor-quality pigment, which is composed of harmful dyes, allergies can occur. As long as the foreign substance does not leave the body, the immunity will remind you of redness, swelling of the skin, itching.
Features of the technique
To remove permanent makeup, the same apparatus is used as for tattoos, only nozzles differ. In the center of cosmetology you can offer a choice of 1 of 6 types of laser:
- Erbium The beam penetrates shallowly, does not cause any harm to neighboring tissues. It is used for tightening and peeling, but it does not always cope with the tattoo. With varying success, only microblading can be removed, in which the pigment lies at a lesser depth.
- Carbon dioxide. Well proven when mixing tattoos and unsuccessful permanent makeup. Depth of exposure is changed by the beautician during the procedure. The use of carbon dioxide requires experience.
- Ruby. The laser is not suitable for removing tattoo, the device is intended only for hair removal.
- Alexandrite. Acts like a ruby, but penetrates deeper. Also not used to remove permanent makeup.
- Diode. This laser will not work to remove the pigment from the skin.
- Neodymium. Makeup artists are advised to remove the unsuccessful tattoo with just such a device. The laser penetrates deeply, effectively affects the pigment and does not damage the skin. Especially effective for eliminating the permanent dark shades.
When visiting a clinic, ask what kind of laser is supposed to remove the tattoo. Agree to the procedure, if offered neodymium device. If in none of the salons of the city there are none, you can choose carbon dioxide or, in extreme cases, erbium. All other procedures will only spend your time and money.
Laser removal of unsuccessful eyebrow tattooing is accompanied by pain. Feelings are even more unpleasant than when applying permanent makeup.
It seems that the skin is burned and from time to time they are electrocuted. To relieve you of unpleasant feelings, the master will hold a local anesthetic.
Operating principle
The laser beam penetrates the deep layers of the skin. The master adjusts it so that it acts only on pigmented areas, that is, those that are darker than normal. The wavelength determines how deep the beam penetrates. In some tattoo techniques, the pigment is inserted 0.5-0.8 mm deep, in others - 0.8-1 mm.
The particles of the coloring matter absorb the energy of the laser beam, heat up and collapse from high temperature. Small, imperceptible wounds remain on the skin. Lymph rushes to them to protect the body from bacteria. Coming to the surface, it captures with itself the destroyed pigment particles. During the procedure, the blood vessels are damaged, but they are immediately burned by the laser beam.
Each time the pigment fades more and more.At first, it becomes an unnatural hue, because several colors are usually mixed for the procedure, and the darkest one is destroyed first. Then the tattoo becomes gray, gradually brightens and becomes invisible.
Advantages and disadvantages
Flatten the tattoo can be different, but removing unsuccessful permanent make-up with a laser is used more often than other procedures. The technique has several advantages:
- The procedure is less painful than the rest. Even anesthesia does not always help if the client has chosen, for example, electrocoagulation or camouflage lighting.
- There are no burns or scars on the skin, as the laser does not damage healthy skin.
- The result, though not final, is visible after the first procedure.
- No side effects during the rehabilitation period. The skin is restored for a long time, but it is not visible to others. Maximum - a thin crust forms on the eyebrows, which quickly leaves.
- The session passes quickly - within 15-20 minutes.
- After the procedure, you can apply decorative cosmetics to correct the not yet completely corrected tattoo.
- The laser beam does not damage the hair follicles, so your eyebrows do not fall out. On the contrary, they begin to grow faster.
- High price. Given the fact that several procedures are required, the total amount of financial investments increases.
- It is not always possible to remove the tattoo completely, especially if you used light shades or a mixture of several. The laser does not recognize such pigments.
- Permanent makeup can be removed by laser for a year. The duration of the course depends on the depth of exposure and the hue of the pigment.
- If you choose the wrong type of laser or incorrectly set up the device, burns and scars may occur.
What determines the effectiveness
Laser removal does not always help to clean the skin from the tattoo. The quality of work affects the composition of the pigment. If it includes metal oxides (which is typical of cheap Chinese fakes), permanent makeup cannot be removed completely. If you did the procedure at home or in a dubious clinic, most likely, it was used there is a low-quality pigment in order to save.
Laser removes tattoo in layers. If the master has put the coloring matter in the deeper layers of the skin, it will take months to restore the eyebrows to their previous appearance. The first procedures only slightly brighten the shade.
The effectiveness of laser tattoo removal is lower if the skin is dark. It contains more melanin (a natural pigment). The laser also affects him, so the energy of the beam is dissipated. The course of procedures will take longer, and there is no guarantee that the pigment will be removed completely.
Consequences and complications
Laser removal of permanent makeup rarely results in side effects. Redness and swelling quickly pass, wounds heal in a few days. The only unpleasant consequence is the residual traces of the old pigment. Often the shade becomes unnatural.
To mask the impact of the laser, apply decorative cosmetics - a pencil, concealer, eye shadow or eyebrow paint. But they can be applied only after the healing of wounds and the loss of the crust.
If the master incorrectly tuned the device or chose the wrong type of laser, scarring may occur. While they are still fresh, you can try to put on them pharmaceutical creams, in consultation with your doctor. They will not remove the scars completely, but make them less noticeable.
If you did not pass a skin test before the procedure, there is a chance of developing allergies. Skin swelling, itching and rashes can be removed with an antihistamine. Sometimes used anti-inflammatory ointment.
Possible mistakes
The main mistake that some girls make is to attempt to reduce the unsuccessful eyebrow tattoo with a laser on their own. The device can be purchased by anyone, but this does not mean that it can be used without completing the course. The consequences can be more serious than an ugly permanent.
You can not carry out the procedure at home. Do not try to save, because your eyebrows and so suffered because of the inexperience of a specialist. Contact only reliable masters who work in a clinic that has a license for laser removal.
Do not allow the use of the method if it is contraindicated to you. The cosmetologist may not ask you about the limitations of the procedure, so carefully review the list of situations in which it cannot be performed.
Other removal methods
The clinic can offer you not only a laser method of removing the permanent. In the services of the wizard you can find the following items:
- electrocoagulation (shock),
- cryodestruction (liquid nitrogen),
- chemical removal (Remuver solution),
- lightening (applying skin-colored pigment over dark),
- dermabrasion (diamond grinding),
- surgical removal.
Any of these techniques will remove the tattoo, but they all affect the skin more aggressively than the laser. Increased risk of scarring and allergies.
Evgenia, 52 years old, Ryazan
"I went with broken eyebrows for 2 years, hoping that the pigment would still come off. Then I could not stand it and went to a beautician. I was told that I could wait a long time because the permanent didn’t go away from the skin age. removal, there were only 6 sessions (costing 1,500 rubles each). The main part of the pigment came down, but the contours remained. I didn’t torture myself anymore - I just tint my eyebrows with a pencil and nothing is noticeable. "
Julia, 32 years old, Perm
"I was not lucky with the tattoo master, but I chose the beautician to remove it successfully. The first procedure is painful, you don’t feel anything on the next ones. Immediately after the session, the eyebrows become like an albino, but then darken. At first, my hair fell out but then they began to grow quickly. I will never again decide on a permanent, although I understand that a good master will make it without mistakes. "
Alina, 34 years old, Rostov
"I removed the tattoo with a neodymium laser - they say there are no scars after it. The procedure is expensive and painful, although an anesthetic gel is used. During the session, you feel as if the pigment in the skin explodes (even the crackling is audible). but this is not for long - only for 2-3 days. 4 sessions have passed, the traces of the permanent are visible only if I am without cosmetics, and then I have to peer for a long time from close range. "
Indications and Contraindications
Any medical intervention, even cosmetology, does not pass for the body without a trace. Before deciding on laser removal, review the list of contraindications to the procedure and, if necessary, consult in advance with a specialist.
Removal of permanent make-up by laser is not recommended in the following cases:
- Inflammatory processes and various skin diseases, such as psoriasis, eczema and fungal lesions, are the first and most important contraindication to the procedure - the laser will unpredictably affect the course of the disease and can aggravate unpleasant symptoms.
- In pregnancy, any unnecessary medical intervention is undesirable, especially as serious as laser exposure. It is also better to postpone the removal at the time of breastfeeding.
- The presence of scars on the skin is also a contraindication to the procedure.
- Clinics do not usually do laser removal for persons under the age of majority.
- A fresh tan is undesirable before applying a laser: if you are very tanned in the sun or in a tanning salon, you should wait at least a week, and only then plan the procedure in the clinic.
- Serious heart problems may be contraindicated - depending on the current state of your health, doctors decide whether or not laser removal is possible.
- Skin tumors, such as moles, papillomas and warts, in no case can not be treated with laser beams - this can lead to serious complications.
- Disruption of the endocrine system can also cause the inability to remove permanent makeup with a laser.
- If you are allergic to sunlight, you should also refuse this method of removal.
- For epilepsy, the procedure is not performed.
- Colds and flu can also be a contraindication due to a general decrease in immunity.
- Problems with blood clotting make the procedure undesirable.
The aesthetic defects of the tattoo are often indications of using a laser for removal: perhaps permanent makeup seemed too bright and unnatural, an unsuccessful eyebrow bend and thickness were chosen, or the master made a mistake during work. Extremely rarely, complications after the introduction of pigments and associated health problems can become an indication for removal - in each case the doctor offers the client an individual solution. If you are wondering whether to carry out chemical or laser removal, you should bear in mind that the indications for these two methods are absolutely similar.
Laser removal imposes even more restrictions than the use of a remuver, because it is hypoallergenic and is not associated with thermal effects. However, the duration of the procedure, the long recovery period, the soreness and discomfort make clients in clinics more often resort to laser removal.
The main thing is to take into account all the contraindications and consult with a good specialist.
Preparation for the procedure
The key to successful tattoo removal and quick, comfortable skin recovery is the right preparation for the session. Specific recommendations, depending on your health condition and skin characteristics, should be obtained from a doctor beforehand.
This should take into account a number of general points:
- If possible, in the last days before the planned procedure, it is recommended to eliminate or minimize the exposure of ultraviolet radiation to the skin. When removing the tattoo on the eyebrows, this can be problematic, but you can try to wear massive sunglasses or hats with a visor. Especially sunbathing before the procedure just is not worth it. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation will make the skin more dry, and therefore more sensitive to the laser - this will affect the painfulness of the procedure, as well as the condition of the skin after it and the duration of eyebrow healing.
- If you are taking medications that affect the skin, it is better to temporarily abandon their use. It is better to discuss with your doctor not only the state of your health, but also those pills that you take regularly - perhaps it is better not to take certain substances before the procedure.
- If you smoke, doctors strongly recommend reducing the dose of nicotine used before the procedure.
- Make sure that the skin has no minor wounds and damage. In particular, pluck eyebrows a couple of days before the planned removal of permanent makeup, too, should not be.
Before proceeding with laser removal, the doctor must treat the skin with an antiseptic or a special disinfectant solution. Special dark glasses are used to protect the patient’s eyes from rays. The laser is set up individually for each client, depending on the characteristics of the skin, the depth of the pigment and its shade.
How to delete?
Since it is not always possible to determine the depth of the pigment and the sensitivity of the skin accurately, the first session of pigment removal is a test. Usually it does not last long, and after it you need to evaluate the results: the healing should take place within a week, and the color of the tattoo should become noticeably lighter. In the case of a positive effect, the doctor will use the same settings of the laser system in all sessions, and if you have any complaints, the settings will be adjusted.
To remove the old dye from the skin, the doctor directs the laser beam to the area of the skin with permanent makeup. Slightly shifting the holder of the installation and moving the beam, the specialist sequentially treats the entire eyebrow area with a laser, which allows for further color reduction. With long time intervals, several sessions are planned in order to completely remove the undesirable color.
Laser removal of the pigment is quite comfortable, although the sensations from the procedure are subjective, individual and sometimes unpredictable. Some patients do not have problems with tingling and burning, and others associate it with severe pain. Anyway, laser removal is considered more gentle compared with the introduction of a chemical remover under the skin. After exposure to the laser eyebrow is applied cooling gel, which allows you to remove unpleasant sensations.
Further, for a successful result, it is important only to care for the eyebrows and follow all the recommendations of the doctor.
Immediately after a short procedure, you can leave the clinic, because the care of eyebrows after laser removal of permanent makeup occurs at home. The main recommendation that doctors give is not to interfere with the process of natural healing of the skin. No need to touch the eyebrows after the procedure: they may appear swelling, bruises, sores and a crust, but all this is completely normal consequences of exposure to laser beams.
If you try to remove the brow crust by yourself, without waiting for it to come off by itself, it is very likely that scars will form that will not be easy to get rid of.
Additionally, it is worth considering the following recommendations:
- If the swelling did not pass on the first day after removal, it can be removed with the help of drugs. For example, ordinary Suprastin or Tavegil usually cope with this.
- Painkillers may also be useful to you in the first days after the procedure - you can take any pills you are used to: “Nimesil”, “Nurofen”, “Ketorol” and others.
- The crust in the first days can not only be torn off, but also wet. Be careful when washing and taking a shower.
- The doctor may recommend a special cream for the treatment of damaged areas, but it should be applied in accordance with the recommendations.
- In the next week after the procedure, you will have to refuse to visit the bath, sauna and swimming pool - excessive moisture and high temperature can slow down the healing process of wounds after the laser.
- Within a month after removal, you should refuse to visit a tanning salon and do not abuse the tan in the sun: the skin after exposure is very sensitive.
- In the process of healing, in no case can you apply peeling on the laser-treated areas, and also do not need to use clarifying agents.
- If the pain and swelling do not subside for several days, if the crust does not come off for a long time or you have accidentally damaged it, you should contact your doctor for further recommendations.
Despite the fact that the effects of the procedure are quite noticeable and many rules must be followed, usually the process of caring for the eyebrows after removal does not cause discomfort. Especially important is the process of formation of the crust and its gathering. After that, you can even fully enjoy the usual make-up - apply foundation, draw eyebrows with pencil and mascara. The main thing is to thoroughly wash off all cosmetics, do not forget about moisturizers.
Between the procedures, proper everyday skin care is very important in order for it to be healthy: excessive traumatic effects of a laser can, in the absence of care, provoke desquamation or the appearance of acne, and re-conduct the session only on healthy skin areas.
Some clients are completely satisfied with the procedure, while others complain of serious discomfort or aesthetically poor result. In many ways, the results of the removal will depend on the characteristics of your skin and individual sensitivity, as well as the clinic and the qualifications of the attending physician. Do not try to save on this procedure, if you value your own beauty.
There are not so many ways to remove unwanted permanent makeup, so many people decide to remove them with a laser even without reading the reviews on the procedure. However, it is better to take into account the opinion of those who have tried this method of getting rid of the tattoo, and only then make their decision.
Most women are pretty laser removed.
Those customers who leave negative reviews, note the following points:
- Unpleasant feelings during the procedure repel many. Despite the fact that in the clinics this procedure is presented as painless, in fact there is a tingling and burning sensation, which is perceived by every woman subjectively. Laser removal of anesthesia is not done - the administration of the drug distorts the skin tension and makes it impossible to carry out such a scrupulous operation of quality. The owners of low pain thresholds should be wary: try to come to the procedure with a good emotional attitude and consult with your doctor about taking painkillers.
- The high cost of laser removal is another unpleasant moment that repels many. However, chemical removal is slightly cheaper, and there are no cost-effective ways to get rid of the tattoo. The specific price of the procedure varies in different clinics, but you should not choose who to contact based on the low price. You may encounter a poor-quality service, and laser irradiation is a serious enough intervention, so you risk your own beauty and health. It is better to choose a proven clinic with a long history of work, a large client base and good recommendations.
Features of tattoo removal
Most often, tattooing of eyebrows and lips is removed on the face with a laser, less often - the contour of the eyelid.
Correction of eyebrows with the help of a laser provides that the laser of a certain spectrum destroys the coloring pigment, which is then removed through the lymphatic system.
When correcting the eyebrow with a laser, it has its own characteristics - it can be of high quality and not so much when much depends on:
- if the coloring pigment is applied qualitatively - the easier it is to withdraw.
- the deeper the drive in, the pigment is absorbed - the more sessions you have to go through.
The main thing to remember is that the laser does not affect the structure of the hair when the eyebrow is removed; The only thing is that it can slightly lighten the natural pigment, but this can be easily corrected by simply painting the eyebrows.
When eyebrow correction - the effect is visible after the 2nd session, which is carried out with an interval of one and a half - two months. If the eyebrows have a greenish tint - it will take from 2 to 8 sessions, since this shade is considered problematic and difficult to erase.
Lips and eyelids
If we talk about removing the tattoo of the lips and eyelid, it is important to remember that during the first session it may acquire a silvery shade and is not completely etched. Therefore, in this case, you will have to go through 2-3 sessions of correction - it all depends on the saturation of the coloring pigment.
When the lips are corrected, it may take from 2 to 4 sessions to obtain a visible result - with deep application of the coloring pigment, if the pigment is injected close to the surface - a positive result is seen after 1 session.
Step by step holding
The session of laser tattoo removal from the face is the following:
- first of all, on the patient wear protective, special glasses.
- then a small area of skin is tested for its reaction to the laser and the frequency and depth of its influence needed for removal are selected.
- carry out the treatment of the selected area of skin and remove the tattoo.
- at the end of the session, apply cold on the treated area and treat the skin with a special soothing gel or ointment.
- for the subsequent protection of the laser-treated area — a patch or bandage is applied on it.
What will happen to the eyebrows after removal, tell this video:
After the session - the skin is treated for 3-4 days with panthenol 5-6 times and does not allow the ingress of water.
It is also necessary to close the place of the removed tattoo from the sun and process it with sunscreen - the sun's rays can provoke the production of melanin and, as a result, the darkening of the laser-treated skin area.
Do not scratch and scratch the place of the removed tattoo - regeneration in the first 3-5 days will be intense.
It is best to treat the skin with cooling and soothing gels at this time - this area should not be rubbed with alcohol-containing compounds.
In the first week you should not take a hot bath, at least 2 weeks - go to the solarium and sauna. All these recommendations are simple and will contribute to the fact that the full recovery will take about a month.
And when you can adjust
The main difference between the tattoo from the usual tattoo on the face is that the pigment is applied to a relatively shallow depth of the epidermis.
Gradually, he is independently removed from the skin, but it is worth saying that if the tattoo is removed with a laser, the skin needs at least a month to recover.
Accordingly, a new correction can be carried out no earlier than in a month, but a new tattoo is applied to the selected area no earlier than in a half to two months..
How else can you delete a picture
In addition to laser equipment, tattooing can be removed from the face using such methods.
- By lightening - its essence is to guide the body under the skin at the tattoo site, individually selected according to the range of pigment. Minus - when tanning, the skin at the site of its introduction remains light.
- Removal with a scalpel - surgical removal is not the best method; it is performed under general anesthesia and involves the complete removal of the pattern.
Customer reviews
The reviews on this method of removing tattoo from the face are positive. Patients note that the unsuccessfully applied contour can be brought out as quickly and painlessly as possible.
Beauticians, noted the minimum presence of contraindications, the absence of negative consequences and a minimum of restrictions to its implementation.
How exactly the laser removes eyebrow tattoo: principle of operation
The essence of the laser action is based on selective photocavitation. A flash in an instant releases energy that is absorbed by the pigment molecules without damaging healthy cells and leaving no scars.
Laser eyebrow removal
