Saline Tattoo Removal

 

130$ plus hst (per hour)

Tattoo Removal is a case by case basis, please contact us to properly prepare for your appointment. We only accept certain tattoos, depending on the size, depth and location of the tattoo.

We are trained, skilled and certified to perform pigment lightening/removal. We use Li-FT by Li Pigments, a safe, high content salt and fruit seed extract solution that deems extremely effective in pigment lightening and removal. Our solution is safe for all areas of the body. Li-FT can be used with a manual (manual pen) technique, or machine technique (electric pen).

Li-FT is made by Li Pigments, Li Pigments is a Certified Cosmetic Manufacturer headquartered in New Jersey. They have a state-of-the-art production lab equipped to handle formulations and pigment production with the most advanced, modern technologies.

What to expect.

Some clients (not all) will bleed and get very red, this is completely normal for some. Some people get very red in the procedure area, some bleed, some have no changes during the appointment. Everyone reacts differently to the treatment. Bleeding and redness is normal and should not be a cause for concern.

There needs to be a minimum of 8 weeks in between sessions to properly heal.

For larger tattoos (bigger than a deck of cards), consider doing a one or two-inch section first session due to those areas healing at a much slower rate.

How many sessions will it take?

How many sessions will depend on many different variables:

  • How much pigment is to be removed?

  • Does the pigment contain Titanium?

  • How deep was it implanted?

  • How saturated is the pigment?

  • Where on the body are we removing?

  • The client’s own skin and healing process

  • The client after care regimen

  • How much pigment needs to be removed?

    The reality is, it depends on the person and the tattoo. Everyone heals differently, therefore we go by case only. We will see the progress as we proceed ahead with future appointments.

PRECARE

Sun exposure, including tanning beds and the application of sunless tanning products, must be avoided for 2 weeks prior and after the treatment.

During the course of your treatments, notify our staff of any changes to your medical history, health status, or personal activities that may be relevant to your treatment.

  • No use of fish oils 2 weeks prior.

  • No alcohol or caffeine 12 hours before the appointment.

  • No botox/dysport 2 weeks before the appointment (or 2 weeks after).

  • No harsh exfoliation, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, skin treatments, etc. 2 weeks prior to the appointment

  • No use of Retin-a, Renova, and Glycolic acids 2 weeks prior.

  • No brow tinting one week prior.

  • Latisse (or other growth serums/oils) used on the eyebrows must be discontinued for min of 3 weeks.

 

Aftercare

It is critical to follow all aftercare instructions to prevent complications, scarring and to achieve optimum results.

KEEP AREA CLEAN and open to the air. Do not cover with a Band-Aid or anything else, leave open to air. Air/oxygen provides good and faster healing. You should not be touching the area at all but if you find yourself needing to please make sure your hands are exceptionally clean.

CLEAN BY BLOTTING AREA with saline 3 to 4 times a day using cotton rounds or gauze. NO ICE.

DO NOT SOAK the treated area in water. You can shower as normal but keep the area out of the shower spray the best you can and do not let the area stay wet for more than a few minutes. It is best to keep it dry but if you do get it wet gently pat dry.

NO BATHING, SWIMMING, SAUNAS, HOT TOBS, TANNING, OR EXERCISE. NO EXCEPTIONS.

DO NOT disrupt the scabbing process (i.e. no picking, scratching, etc.) All scabbing needs to fall off naturally. If you force or pick a scab off you will disrupt the process and possibly cause scarring. It is critical to keep the scabs on as long as possible to achieve optimum results.

TREAT AREA WITH TLC. DO NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL THAT COULD CAUSE ISSUES OR PROBLEMS TO THE TREATED AREA.

ONCE ALL SCABBING HAS NATURALLY FALLEN OFF, apply one drop Vitamin E Oil 3 to 4 times throughout the day for a minimum of 4 weeks, or until next lightening session. DO NOT start applying the Vitamin E oil UNTIL all scabbing has naturally and completely fallen off. It is our goal to keep the area as dry as possible until all scabs have naturally fallen off.

LIPS please drink all liquids with a straw until all scabbing has naturally fallen off. Brush with Toms of Maine or Classic Crest (no whitening, no peroxide toothpastes. Cut food into small bites....no biting into a sandwich. Try to keep mouth expressions to a minimum.

It is important to the process and integrity of the skin that 8 full weeks of healing take place before another lightening session can be done. No exceptions

Lightening and/or removing unwanted pigment is a long process and patience is required. This is true whether you are choosing a lightening product service or laser. Please be patient and give the process a fair chance to work. Expect visible and wanted results in 2 to 5 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 the desired result. In many cases only a percentage of the pigment needs to be lightened/removed and then we can continue the correction process by color correcting or color shifting. In those cases where we have pigment misplaced or in an unwanted area, color correcting will not be an option and removing as much of the pigment as possible will be our ultimate goal.

Results cannot be foreseen, predicted or guaranteed.
