TATTOO REMOVAL

DermaEnvy Skincare uses safe and effective technology for the removal of tattoos. Whether you’ve outgrown your tattoo, it’s outgrown you, or you just want to make room for an even better work of art, we offer complete solutions for removing unwanted tattoos or permanent makeup. Tattoo removal is most commonly performed using lasers that break down the ink particles in the tattoo. The broken-down ink is then fought off by the immune system, mimicking the natural fading that time or sun exposure would create. All tattoo pigments have specific light absorption spectra and it is best to book a consultation to discuss your goals and the appropriate plan of action.

TATTOO FADING / REVISION

We frequently encounter patients that don't want their tattoos removed completely, but rather revised. Yes, we can provide support to patients looking for tattoo revision.

Patients that want their tattoo artwork revised fit into two categories:

1. Selective removal

2. Fading prior to a cover-up

Selective removal patients are looking to erase a part out of a larger tattoo piece. This is a common request for patients with name tattoos. For example, they like the overall design of their tattoo but dislike that it features an ex-boyfriend's name. Patients also request selective removal if their tattoo artist botched the artwork in an area or the tattoo extended further than they wished – they just want certain parts of the tattoo "cleaned up."

Cover-up patients only want their tattoo faded down to make it easier for their tattoo artist to design a tattoo to be drawn in its place. Tattoo fading needs fewer sessions than complete removal. Often 2 to 3 laser sessions are adequate to fade the tattoo significantly and allow the tattoo artist to have a better canvas to work on.
