CORRECTIVE PMU + REMOVAL
Corrective work is designed to improve and rebalance previous cosmetic tattoo results while preserving the integrity of the skin. Using advanced color theory and technique, unwanted tones are neutralized, asymmetry is refined, and pigment placement is adjusted to create a softer, more natural-looking result. In some cases, lightening may be recommended before correction to achieve the best outcome, and multiple sessions may be needed depending on the existing pigment and desired result.
Pigment Removal is a gentle, non-laser treatment designed to gradually lighten and soften existing cosmetic tattoo while preserving the integrity of the skin. Using a specialized solution, pigment is drawn upward during the healing process and naturally released by the body over time, making it ideal for softening color, correcting tone, or preparing the area for future corrective work. Results are progressive and typically require a series of treatments to achieve the desired outcome. If full removal is desired, laser options such as Pico laser may be considered; however, laser can push pigment deeper into the skin, alter its structure, and may limit the ability to perform future non-laser removal methods.
Your skin will continue to heal and improve after corrective permanent makeup (PMU) or removal treatment. Follow these instructions carefully to ensure optimal results and skin recovery.
-
Stop using retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and exfoliants on the area at least 30 days before treatment.

No sun exposure, tanning, or self-tanners on the treatment area for at least 2 weeks before your appointment.
Stay hydrated and avoid alcohol and caffeine for 48 hours before treatment to support skin healing.
For removal sessions: Do not apply numbing creams or active skincare to the area before your appointment unless advised.
-
Keep the treated area clean and dry for the first 24 hours.
Do not pick, scratch, or exfoliate the area as it heals to prevent scarring or pigment loss.

Apply the recommended healing ointment or serum as directed to support recovery.
For removal sessions: The treated area may scab or peel. Allow the skin to heal naturally.
