What a pity that we girls are so flighty and fickle. It would seem that just recently you were happy with fresh permanent makeup, but now the color of your eyebrows (lips, eyelids, cheeks, highlight what is necessary) disgusts you. Your family and friends probably advise you not to rush into radical measures, but you are determined: the tattoo needs to be removed. In this case, not only a laser can help you, but also a special chemical composition for “pushing” pigments out of the skin - a remover.
Features of the procedure
The removal procedure with a remover is a hardware chemical method of removing tattoos, which uses a special product. The drug does not split the pigment like a laser, but triggers a chemical reaction that removes the paint from under the skin.
Remover is a suspension that contains components similar in structure to pigment (various metal oxides). During the removal procedure, the drug is injected under the skin to the depth of the paint, where it interacts with it without affecting the dermis and blood vessels.
Each manipulation of the suspension lifts a new layer of dye to the upper layers of the epidermis, allowing subsequent procedures to be carried out until the pigment completely disappears.
Indications for use
Unlike a laser, the remover has a more gentle effect on the skin of the face, which is why it is widely used to remove lip and eyebrow tattoos.
The pigment removal procedure is prescribed in the following cases:
- poor or asymmetrical eyebrow shape;
- the drawing has faded or “floated” over time;
- inappropriate shade for appearance;
- large depth of paint, which eliminates the possibility of carrying out the procedure with a laser;
- individual intolerance to tattoo components, the occurrence of allergies.
The statute of limitations for applying permanent makeup does not affect the effectiveness of this method. The color and depth at which the coloring pigment lies does not matter either.
Why remove tattoo
Most often, tattoos are removed for the following reasons:
- The result turned out to be asymmetrical due to the fact that an inexperienced master made mistakes during the process.
- The tattoo artist strictly followed the technique, but the result still did not satisfy the client, since it did not correspond to her idea.
- Fashion trends. A striking example of this is eyebrow threads. They used to be very popular, but now wide eyebrows are appreciated.
- The tattoo was already over 12 months old and during this time the pigments began to fade in the sun. Because of this, eyebrows or lips began to acquire an unnatural shade (blue or orange).
- The client wants variety. She is already tired of the previous shape of eyebrows, lips or arrows.
To remove a tattoo, you can go in two ways: contact a specialist in a beauty salon or resort to home methods for removing unwanted pigment. The last option is quite controversial and can only worsen the situation.
Advantages
Chemical tattoo removal is used only by certified tattoo artists. If you follow a certain algorithm of actions, you can fully enjoy the advantages of this method. Remover advantages:
- able to remove any shade of pigment;
- removes any type of dye, regardless of the particle size of the latter;
- the method is technologically simple and accessible;
- the removal procedure takes less than an hour;
- relative cheapness (especially compared to laser);
- painless manipulation;
- a small number of repeated procedures;
- absence of carcinogenic effects (which cannot be said about laser).
Thanks to its special composition, the remover can remain in the body for a long time until the excess pigment is completely removed.
Disadvantages of the method
When an inexperienced master takes on the job, manipulation with the remover can result in scars and chemical burns. A cosmetologist should not make the following mistakes:
- make too deep punctures;
- pierce one place more than three times;
- move the needle too slowly.
Among the objective disadvantages of the method, not related to the level of skill of the cosmetologist, the following can be noted:
- long healing process (3-6 months);
- red-brown pigmentation is noticeable in the eyebrow area for several months;
- inadmissibility of use when removing eyelid tattoos.
Subcutaneous anesthesia can also cause adverse reactions and leave scars.

Contraindications
Any intervention in the body’s activities, even the easiest and most harmless, may have a number of contraindications related to the characteristics of a particular type of manipulation. Tattoo removal with a remover is not done in the following cases:
- acute stage of any disease;
- the presence of pathologies that slow down tissue healing processes in the body (diabetes mellitus, anemia, micronutrient deficiency, etc.);
- autoimmune diseases;
- HIV positive status;
- skin diseases of infectious and non-infectious etiology (psoriasis, ichthyosis);
- the presence of factors affecting blood clotting (hemophilia, taking anticoagulants, etc.);
- neoplasms in the area of manipulation;
- the presence of allergic reactions.
It is not recommended to carry out the removal procedure with remover for pregnant and lactating women during periods of exacerbation of herpes, conjunctivitis and colds.
If you are allergic to anesthetic drugs, the pigment removal procedure is allowed to be carried out without the use of painkillers.
Approximate price ranges
There is no fixed price for removing tattoos with a remover. Each master independently calculates the cost depending on his own experience and costs of materials. In a salon, the procedure will be more expensive because employees have to pay rent. In Moscow, the average cost of tattoo removal with a remover is 3,000-5,000 rubles. It is not recommended to contact specialists who offer their services cheaper. Most often, this cost is associated with a lack of experience and the use of inexpensive materials, which increases the risk of complications.
Preparation period
Some time before starting manipulations with the remover, it is necessary to take a number of preventive measures that will help avoid possible unpleasant consequences:
- 2-3 days before the procedure, it is prohibited to consume alcoholic beverages, narcotic and psychotropic drugs;
- on the day of visiting a cosmetologist, do not take medications with vasodilating and blood-thinning properties;
- do not eat seafood or spicy foods on the day of the procedure;
- 2 weeks before removing the pigment, do not do retinoic peeling.
Before removing tattoos, you should not visit the bathhouse or sauna, sunbathe, go to fitness classes or go to the pool.
Stages of the procedure
Before starting work, you need to make sure that the removing mixture is in the right consistency. Sometimes the remover dries out, then you need to dilute it with clean distilled water.
Removing pigment is similar to the tattooing procedure and takes place in several stages:
Stage 1. Disinfection of the desired area. Stage 2. Application of anesthesia (at the client’s request). Stage 3. Applying the drug to the desired area of skin using a tattoo machine. Stage 4. Drying the treated surface of the dermis.
The master must introduce the suspension to the required depth, in no case deeper than the paint. Moving the needle too quickly or too slowly can also cause damage to the skin.
The entire process of removing tattoos with a remover, together with the preparatory stage, takes from 30 to 50 minutes.
At the end of the drug administration, the specialist will treat the skin area with cream, which must be left to act for 3 hours.

Side effects
Not a single tattoo removal is without consequences. After using the remover, the following complications may occur:
- Long healing time with painful sensations.
- Partial removal of dye.
- Chemical burn.
The above consequences are possible due to poor-quality removal of permanent makeup, but there are also side effects that will appear after the procedure in any case:
- Crusts on the affected areas of the skin.
- Severe itching.
- Feeling of tightness.
- Redness and sores.
We advise you to look at photos on the Internet that clearly demonstrate the consequences of this procedure. To minimize the risk of bad correction, pay due attention to the choice of cosmetologist and salon. Don’t save money, don’t believe ads that promise quick results.
It is almost impossible to completely remove the permanent, and to do it quickly and even more so.
How painful is the procedure?
It cannot be said that salon visitors experience pain during the process of removing pigment from under the skin. However, it all depends on the characteristics of the person and his sensitivity to pain.
For anesthesia, the same creams or sprays are used that are used when applying tattoos. The need for pain relief is determined individually according to the client’s wishes.
Most tolerate the procedure calmly without the use of anesthesia, describing the process as “pinching” and “light pricks.”
Who is it suitable for?
The removal process is simple and virtually painless, making it suitable for everyone. Women with an unsuccessful permanent or those who are simply tired of it resort to removing the dye with a remover. It doesn't matter how long ago the tattoo was done. It can be removed, the main thing is to find a professional technician.
The remover “can” remove all colors, while the laser does not cope well with warm shades. It will also cope better with lip tattooing, as it can even remove red and orange pigments.

How many sessions will it take?
With professional and competent manipulation of the remover, the success rate of the procedure is 99.9%.
Often one session with a cosmetologist is enough. The exact number of visits will depend on the following factors:
- pigment color;
- the depth of its occurrence;
- composition of the dye.
The final paint removal is carried out in a maximum of three sessions. You won't need more of them.
At least 1-2 months should pass between visits to the specialist. During this time, the skin should recover.
Photos before and after
You can get a general idea of the effectiveness of the manipulation after viewing the photos that show the condition of the eyebrows before and after the procedure:
Post-session care
At the end of the tattoo removal procedure, the cream on the eyebrows will turn into a brown crust after a few hours. For 3 days, do not allow water to come into contact with the treated surface. After this period, the crust can be blotted with a napkin, but do not expose your eyebrows to running water.
The crust will fall off on its own in 10-14 days. If you tear it off in any way before this time, then scars and scars will form in this place.
It is allowed to use healing creams and ointments when small wounds form on the treated area of skin.
A number of rules must also be followed:
- avoid direct sunlight and solariums;
- do not use peeling and lightening cosmetics;
- do not visit the swimming pool, bathhouse or sauna;
- do not touch the treated skin (the only exception is for treatment with drugs Bepanten, Miramistin, etc.).
If you experience severe pain, it is recommended to take an analgesic or other pain reliever.

The Russian manufacturer AS Company produces tattoo remover Remover A.Shakhova. With its help, the dye is extracted from the skin. This product copes with pigments of any color range and saturation. Remover from Alina Shakhova can only be used by specialists who have undergone special training.
The remover from Alina Shakhova has the consistency of a white cream. It is packaged in 3 ml tubes. Also included is a diluent (12 ml). One tube is enough for 5-6 tattoo removal procedures.

Advantages
- removes pigments of any color and saturation;
- convenient release form;
- the tube is enough for 5-6 procedures;
- Suitable for tattoo removal.
Flaws
- During manipulation, a slight burning and tingling sensation is possible.
Recovery period
These recommendations for eyebrow care during the recovery period must be followed very strictly. There are reasons for this:
- The process of interaction of the remover components with the removed pigment, which passes under the crust, must not be disrupted.
- If the crust is damaged, the basal layer of the epidermis is disrupted, which will subsequently interfere with normal healing and lead to the appearance of scars.
After 2 weeks, the crusts disappear and you need to visit a cosmetologist so that he can pre-evaluate the result and prescribe additional care if necessary. Regenerative drugs are usually recommended.
You can understand how successful the procedure was only after 3 months, when the skin is completely restored.
