Corrective PMU is approached with precision, patience, and a deep understanding of color theory, pigment behavior, and skin integrity.

Rather than masking previous work, the goal is to rebalance and refine existing cosmetic tattoo results by softening pigment, correcting tone, and restoring a more natural appearance over time.

Contour + Ink specializes in corrective cosmetic tattoo and non-laser pigment removal, focusing on long-term skin health and realistic outcomes.

Each treatment plan is customized based on your current pigment, skin condition, and desired result — ensuring that every step supports a safe and natural correction process.

Corrective PMU is a specialized cosmetic tattoo correction treatment used to improve previous work by adjusting color, shape, and overall balance.

This may include neutralizing unwanted tones, refining asymmetry, or softening overly saturated pigment to create a more natural result.

Non-laser pigment removal is a treatment designed to lighten and soften existing cosmetic tattoo using a specialized solution.

The pigment is drawn upward during the healing process and gradually released by the body, making it ideal for correction or preparation for new work.

This depends on the condition of your current PMU.

In some cases, pigment can be corrected directly. In others, lightening or partial removal is recommended first to achieve the best and safest outcome. A consultation is required to determine the appropriate approach.

Not all cosmetic tattoo work can be corrected in a single session or without removal.

Factors such as pigment depth, saturation, skin condition, and previous techniques all affect what is possible. A customized treatment plan will be created based on your individual case.

Corrective PMU and pigment removal are progressive treatments and typically require multiple sessions.

Each session builds on the previous one, allowing the skin to heal properly and the pigment to adjust gradually for optimal results.

Healing varies depending on the treatment, but may include:

• Mild redness or sensitivity

• Light scabbing or flaking

• Gradual fading or softening of pigment

Full healing between sessions is essential to achieve safe and effective results.

Yes. When performed using proper technique and professional-grade solutions, non-laser pigment removal is a safe and controlled process.

Treatments are designed to protect the skin while gradually reducing pigment.

Non-laser removal works by drawing pigment out of the skin during the healing process, while laser breaks down pigment using energy.

Laser may be effective in some cases, but it can also alter pigment color, push pigment deeper, and limit future non-laser correction options. This is why a customized approach is important.

A topical numbing agent is used to ensure comfort during treatment.

Sensitivity varies depending on the area and condition of the skin, but most clients find the process manageable.

This treatment is ideal for clients who:

• Are unhappy with previous PMU results

• Have uneven shape or asymmetry

• Experience unwanted pigment tones

• Want a more natural, refined result

Corrective PMU and removal require patience and a long-term approach.

Rushing the process can compromise results, which is why treatments are carefully spaced and customized for each client.

Proper preparation is important for safety and results.
