Removing permanent eyebrow makeup

Removing permanent eyebrow makeup is a complex procedure that in most cases requires a visit to the salon. It is impossible to completely remove the pigment in one session, and unpleasant complications may arise if you try to get rid of it yourself. A detailed review of the available methods will help you figure out whether it is possible to eliminate the traces of tattooing, how to remove it as quickly as possible at home and in the salon.

The need to remove permanent eyebrow makeup can be associated with various reasons. Most often, it is performed due to the poor quality of the wizard. If the defective areas cannot be covered, it is necessary to lighten the used pigment. In addition, there are other reasons for removing the dye from the subcutaneous layers.

• Noticeable asymmetry. Since the tattoo is applied to each eyebrow separately, defects of this type are quite common when inexperienced craftsmen work. Also, asymmetry can be associated with differences in the bending of the arcs, in the distance from the bridge of the nose, in the mismatch in length and width.
• The need for overlap. Usually it occurs when the pigment spreads unevenly, when the healing crusts break off. If the defect is very noticeable, it is easier to completely lighten the tattoo and then reapply it.
• Incorrect dye shade. It can change over time: turn blue or turn pink, and it is simply wrong initially. It turns out to be impossible to correct such an unnatural color without depigmentation.
• Poor overlapping of old paint. If a light pigment fill is used when trying to correct an unsuccessful result, the surface may acquire a characteristic mottling. It just won't work to remove it in other ways.
• Desire to change the image. Fashion for the shape, thickness and even color of eyebrows is fleeting. When a trend or image changes, the old permanent makeup should be removed before starting to work on a new one.

Studying the reasons why you have to remove the tattoo, you can understand that most of them are directly related to defects obtained even when the dye was added or as a result of violations of the rules for caring for eyebrows during the period of their healing. In this case, the choice of whether to go to the salon or to cope on their own remains with the client himself.

There is a fairly simple and proven method of tattoo removal in a salon. Laser treatment allows you to effectively and quickly remove excess pigment. This method works well even with very dark and bright dyes. But the procedure itself is carried out only after the healing of the area with permanent makeup applied to it. In the process of contact of the laser with the skin, unpleasant sensations and a burning sensation occur.

Usually a neodymium laser is used in beauty salons: it is the most modern and safe. The impact of its beam is low-traumatic, almost completely eliminates the formation of scars or burns. A noticeable result will be visible already after 1-2 sessions, and complete removal of the pigment will take 3-5 visits. Much depends on whether the skin is prepared only for overlapping, or whether it is required to clean it from the dye in the deepest layers. The efficiency of the laser method is the highest.

The second way to remove permanent make-up in the salon is the introduction of a remover that dissolves the paint in the subcutaneous layers. Such chemicals, when in contact with pigments, act on them, and then contribute to the removal of color. The process of using a remover requires the use of a special machine with needles, with the help of which skin punctures are made. The main problem is that cleaning does not guarantee 100% results.

The remover method has much fewer contraindications. Since there is no traumatic effect on the vessels, this method is considered more gentle. But it doesn't suit people:

• during pregnancy;
• with acute viral diseases and colds;
• with skin infections;
• with other chronic pathologies.

When choosing a salon method of dealing with subcutaneous pigment, it is important to consult a professional when removing traces of permanent makeup. He will tell you the optimal method of exposure, taking into account the characteristics of defects, skin condition and other factors.

Using folk remedies is also considered a possible alternative to visiting a salon. But you should immediately take into account that not all methods are safe for health. Chemically aggressive substances and alcohols can cause dryness and even burns to the skin. In the presence of allergic reactions, special care should be taken in this matter.

Self-removal of permanent make-up marks is usually performed several years after application. The remnants of the lines can be tried to be brought together at home. Popular methods of dealing with permanent eyebrow makeup include the following options.

• The use of iodine. A medical grade 5% solution for disinfecting cuts and abrasions is a good choice for dealing with tarnished or discolored pigments.The solution is applied to the area to be discolored using a cotton swab. The procedure is repeated several times a day. The rate of removal of the pigment depends on the depth of its introduction. The method is not suitable for owners of sensitive skin, allergy sufferers.

• Salt scrubbing. If the dye was not applied too deeply when creating permanent makeup, you can try to remove it with another folk remedy. For him, a mixture of coarse sea salt and fine table salt is prepared in a 50/50 ratio. The mixture is then supplemented with a small amount of water. The scrub is applied to the area of ​​the tattoo, after degreasing it, and then thoroughly rubbed into the skin for about 30 minutes. The method is not very effective, but painful, traumatic for the skin, requires the obligatory concomitant use of healing gels and creams.

• Discoloration with hydrogen peroxide. A safe method of dealing with traces of tattooing on the eyebrows requires the purchase of a pharmacy solution of this substance in a concentration of 1.5 to 3%. Hydrogen peroxide works well with fresh permanent makeup and can be applied to the bleached area with a cotton swab up to 4 times a day. It is important to avoid contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly from the eyelids so as not to get a chemical burn.

• Chemical peeling. Compositions for it are sold in cosmetic stores. It is only important to remember that the appearance of the eyebrows after such a procedure will not be very attractive. It is better to carry out a chemical peel before the weekend, so that the skin has time to recover a little.

The obvious advantage of home remedies for removing permanent makeup on eyebrows is their affordable cost. But lightening the pigment turns into a real lottery. It is not possible to be sure that the colorant will be removed to the desired level of lightening.
