What Is Tattoo Removal?

A Clearer Future for Both Cosmetic & Body Tattoos

Tattoo removal today is more advanced, more precise, and far safer than older methods. At Elix Beauty, we offer two highly effective options, depending on the tattoo type, pigment depth, and your skin condition:

1. Laser Tattoo Removal (Body + Cosmetic)

Laser removal uses targeted light energy to break pigment particles into smaller fragments that the body naturally eliminates.

Ideal for:

• Body tattoos (black + coloured)

• Cosmetic tattoos that are deep or saturated

• Old SMP and large treated areas

2. Non-Laser (Saline / Solution-Based) Removal

A professional saline formulation lifts pigment upward through the skin, gradually fading the area.

Ideal for:

• Brow tattoo removal

• Lip blush pigment correction

• Eyeliner tattoo removal

• PMU mistakes, shape corrections, or unwanted undertones

Key Difference From Microblading or PMU:

Tattoo removal isn’t adding colour—it is safely extracting it. Whether you want a clean slate or a soft fade for future microblading or lip blush, removal clears the path.

How Our Tattoo Removal Process Works

Our approach is structured, gentle, and aligned with Ontario health and safety standards.

1. Personal Consultation

Every correction begins with a thorough assessment.

We evaluate:

• Tattoo depth and colour

• Skin type and sensitivity

• Previous PMU work

• Medical history and contraindications

• Your treatment goals (full removal vs. light fade)

2. Precision Skin Preparation

The area is disinfected and prepared using sterile techniques that meet (and exceed) Ontario Ministry of Health guidelines.

3. Numbing for Comfort

A medical-grade topical anaesthetic is applied to ensure maximum comfort throughout the session.

4. Laser or Saline Application

Depending on the chosen method, we use:

• Advanced laser technology carefully calibrated for your pigment type, or

• Premium saline lifting solutions designed specifically for cosmetic tattoo extraction.

5. Cooling & Aftercare Protocol

Once the treatment is complete, your technician cools the skin and applies post-care ointments. You receive a detailed aftercare guide for the next few days.

6. Follow-Up Sessions

Tattoo removal is a process, not a single event. Most clients require 2–8 sessions, spaced 6–8 weeks apart, depending on tattoo saturation and placement.

Why Clients Choose Tattoo Removal

The Benefits of Starting Fresh

Whether you’re dealing with old PMU from years ago or a tattoo that no longer represents who you are, the benefits of removal are significant.

Top Advantages:

• Restore control over your appearance
• Make space for new brows or updated PMU techniques
• Correct shapes that aged poorly
• Fade harsh lines or old colours (blue/grey/red/green)
• Lighten body tattoos without scarring
• Boost confidence with a refreshed look

 

Modern removal provides freedom—the ability to update your aesthetic and step into a cleaner, more natural version of yourself.

Tattoo Removal Healing Timeline

What to Expect Week by Week

Healing varies by skin type, tattoo depth, and method used, but most clients follow a predictable pattern.

Below is a general, safe guideline aligned with current industry practice:

Immediately After Treatment

• Mild redness

• Light swelling

• Warm, sunburn-like sensation

Days 2–7

• Possible scabbing or dryness (normal)

• Pigment begins lifting

• Avoid scratching, picking, steam, and heavy workouts

Weeks 2–4

• Pigment continues to fade

• Skin texture begins to smooth

• You may see patchy lightening—this is expected

Weeks 6–8

• Full healing period

• Skin ready for next session if needed

• Clear visibility of results

Important: Proper aftercare dramatically reduces risk and speeds up results.

Aftercare Guidelines

Essential Steps for Safe, Effective Healing**

To protect the skin and support optimal fading, clients should follow these steps carefully:

Do:

• Keep the area clean and dry
• Use only the aftercare products recommended by your technician
• Avoid sun exposure and always use SPF once healed
• Allow scabs to fall off naturally
• Sleep on a clean pillowcase

Avoid:

• Picking, peeling, scratching
• Makeup or skincare on the treated area
• Pools, saunas, steam rooms
• Heavy sweating for 3–5 days
• Retinols, AHAs, BHAs on or near the treatment area

Proper aftercare ensures safe fading and protects the integrity of your skin.
