What is Pigment Lightening/Removal?

Pigment lightening/removal is a specialized service designed to address and fade unwanted pigment in the skin. This procedure is suitable for those seeking correction, modification, or complete removal of previously applied permanent makeup or small body tattoos.

This is the Li-ft saline solution application, to break down and lift pigments from the skin gradually. The process involves a series of sessions to achieve optimal results, and it is important to understand the pre-care and aftercare instructions for a successful outcome.

Precare Instructions

Proper pre-care is crucial to ensure the best possible outcome and a smooth procedure. Before your pigment lightening/removal session, please follow these guidelines:

    • Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks before your appointment.
    • Avoid Blood Thinners: Refrain from consuming blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and certain supplements for a specified period, as advised during your consultation.
    • No Waxing, Retinoids, or Laser Treatments: Avoid waxing or receiving laser treatments in the targeted area for at least two weeks prior.

Aftercare Instructions

To promote optimal healing and successful pigment removal, follow these aftercare instructions:

Day 1-3  Expectations: 

Initial rednessand swelling may be present.

Cleaning:

    • Gently clean, with a feather light touch, the treated area with a mild, fragrance-free soap and water twice a day.
    • Lightly blot the area dry with a clean, soft paper towel – avoid rubbing or excessive pressure.


Day 3-7 Expectations: 

Scabbing and peeling may begin to occur.

Throughout the Aftercare Period Expectations:

    • Fading of pigment will occur gradually.
    • Scabs must fall off naturally; do not scratch, pick, or disturb scabs to prevent damage to the healing skin.

Avoid Excessive Moisture:

    • Be cautious not to excessively wet or soak the scabs.
    • If scabs get wet, blot gently with a clean paper towel using a feather-light touch.
    • Do not rub against scabs.
    • Avoid using bath towels to prevent irritation. Clean shop towels  (the blue ones) are soft, absorbent, and do an efficient job.
