You might get a tattoo or permanent makeup design one day, and after months or years, you might need to remove it for various reasons. The color might change, making you unhappy with its appearance, or you might simply change your mind and want clean, tattoo-free skin.
Here’s the solution: Phi-removal removes any colored tattoo or permanent makeup, whether it’s gray, green, or contains titanium, such as beige.
What is Phi-removal?
Phi-removal is a very safe and superficial technique for removing old or disfigured tattoos and permanent makeup without penetration or bleeding. It’s performed by a specialist.
What is Phi-removal made of?
The exfoliating agent consists of glycolic acid, a colorless and odorless crystalline substance derived from sugarcane and pineapple. Its very small molecules allow it to penetrate skin cells deeply and easily. It is used in skincare products because it offers numerous benefits, from rejuvenation to hydration. Its botanical properties help treat skin conditions such as psoriasis and melasma. It is effective in treating fine lines, acne, and blackheads, and high concentrations of this acid are used in chemical peels. Studies indicate that glycolic acid aids in collagen production, a key component for plumping the skin, because it can transport water molecules to skin tissues, replenishing lost moisture. This makes it an effective ingredient in moisturizers when used in low concentrations.
In short, glycolic acid is the holy grail of exfoliation because it effectively removes the outer layer of dead skin cells, thus giving the skin radiance and freshness.
How does the technique work?
The removal material is introduced into the superficial dermis layer without the need for penetration or bleeding, using a micropigmentation device or a manual device by a specialized technician. Because the composition of the removal material’s nanoparticles is very fine, it penetrates between the cells to reach the tattoo, ink, or pigmentation layer and moves upwards to the top of the skin, forming a scab with colored ink over the treated area in the next few days. During the skin healing process, the scab will begin to peel off naturally, and you, madam, will notice the tattoo being removed gradually with the sessions.
Post-treatment care
- Keep the treated area dry for the first 48 hours after the session.
- Apply the treatment cream twice daily for two weeks after the session.
- Avoid contact with any soap-based cleansers or makeup on the treated area for five days after the session.
