“After going somewhere based on price my brows were uneven and I didn’t love the shape. My eyeliner didn’t start in my lash line and I had a gap. I was unhappy and discouraged until a friend told me to go see Tonya! She was perfectionist and took her time. A TRUE ARTIST!” – Mary V.

Can permanent makeup be corrected
Like most states in the U.S., Wisconsin has very few laws regulating permanent cosmetics. The best way to obtain attractive, safely applied permanent makeup is to carefully select a qualified and experienced specialist. Unfortunately, many consumers choose a technician based on a low price or convenient location and later regret that choice. Although permanent makeup will fade over time, inferior work can be heartbreaking. Fortunately, in many cases permanent makeup mistakes can be corrected or at least improved.
Methods to remove or lighten permanent makeup
It is faster and easier to obtain a body or makeup tattoo than it is to remove either one. Several methods are available to remove body art tattoos and, sometimes, permanent makeup:
- Surgical Excision: A physician cuts out the tattoo and sutures the edges of the skin back together. The skin over and around the tattoo may need to be stretched first.
- Dermabrasion: The tattooed skin is “sanded” by a physician with a special device. The top and middle layers of the skin that contain the old ink or pigment are removed.
- Laser Technology: Pulses of light are used to break up the tattoo ink under the skin so the body’s cells can “eat it up.” Results vary depending on the type of laser and wavelength of light used. Laser tattoo removal is popular for removing body art, but few physicians use lasers for permanent makeup removal because of the risks. Removing permanent eyeliner with lasers is extremely difficult and expensive. Physicians are cautious about using lasers to remove permanent lip liner because the lips are so vascular (bleed easily). Also, they are concerned about lasers turning permanent makeup black, which can occur any time a laser is used on or near the pigment.
- Fading products: Infinique may use one of the two fading products to lift the pigment.
Most often times eyebrows and eyeliner can easily be corrected to look better by going over with new pigment and making some adjustments. If there is a need to fade eyebrows a fade product will be used. Client will have to wait 30 days in-between all procedures for healing before doing the next treatment. Sometimes multiple fading sessions are needed. Results may vary and no guarantees can be made. Options will be discussed at your consultation.
Will correction procedures cause scaring
Although any type of permanent makeup or tattoo removal can cause some skin color changes or scarring, all of Infinique’s methods have a low risk of creating heavy or raised scars. Usually the skin is slightly red or pink for several weeks to months. This color gradually lightens as the new skin is reformed and collagen rebuilds.
