PhiRemoval Tattoo Removal vs Laser Removal

PhiRemoval vs Laser Kayana Beauty Claremont CA

PhiRemoval Tattoo Removal vs Laser Removal

You’re here because you’ve decided it’s time to remove that permanent makeup or body tattoo for good. Which tattoo removal method is best for you? Let’s talk about the three major ones in the industry: PhiRemoval Tattoo Removal vs Laser Removal.

PhiRemoval Tattoo Removal

PhiRemoval is a glycolic acid based solution that reacts immediately upon skin contact. This draws permanent makeup or tattoo ink to the surface of the skin and then extracted. The extraction process continues as scabs form over the treated area as it heals.

Pros:
✧ Safest and most cost-efficient method
✧ Quick and immediately visible results
✧ Minimal pain involved
✧ Ideal for all types of skin
✧ Removes all types of ink including titanium dioxide.

Cons:
✧ Cosmetic tattoos may appear darker after initial treatment
✧ Temporary redness (erythema)
✧ May cause hyperpigmentation (skin appearing darker) or hypopigmentation (skin appearing lighter)
✧ Treated area must remain dry through the healing process.

Laser Tattoo Removal

Lasers removes tattoos by breaking up pigment colors using high intensity light beams. Applied to the skin, it heats up and shatters the ink at the surface of the skin. The body absorbs the broken pigment molecules, the shallowest layers first.

Pros:
✧ Works well on black and blue pigments.
✧ Ideal for larger body tattoos.
✧ Shorter procedure time.

Cons:
✧ A highly expensive option.
✧ Swelling and possibly blistering or bleeding.
✧ Tattoo is unlikely to be completely removed.
✧ Can only be done on permanent makeup at least 6 months old.
