FACIAL-ACNE PEELINGS

DISCOVER THE POWER OF CHEMICAL PEELING
Chemical peeling treatments involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin, which causes controlled exfoliation and peeling. This process helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and stimulate the regeneration of new skin cells. Chemical peels can be tailored to address various skin concerns, including hyperpigmentation, acne, fine lines, and uneven texture. The depth of the peel determines the extent of skin renewal, with superficial peels targeting the outer layer and deeper peels reaching deeper skin layers.



GRADE 1 - MILD
Medik8 Sensitive PHA Peeling
Mild acne consists of comedones (blackheads), mostly on the nose, a few papules, small, red breakouts typically found on the cheeks, and some whiteheads. The breakouts are minimal and tend to be occasional.
The use of this peeling has some advantages, including being very gentle and effective for grade 1 acne skin, no downtime and painless.
GRADE 2 - MODERATE
BCN Purifying Peeling
In moderate acne, there are more blemishes. Apart from the T zone area, lesions can occur anywhere in the face. The skin has several whiteheads, which are also called closed comedones. They appear like raised white or yellowish dots. When squeezed, white material will come out. The acid penetrates deeper into the skin with BCN peeling to reduce oil production and anti-inflammation.

What happens to my eyebrow hair?We will not harm your eyebrow hair. Before we start eyebrow tattooing, we will trim your eyebrow hair according to your face shape. After trimming, we will not harm your eyebrow hair during the eyebrow tattooing process, but if you encounter a few hairs coming out during or after the treatment, it is absolutely normal.
-
Can I have tattooing if I have no hair?Our artists are highly skilled to perform procedures with or without hair present on the eyebrow.
-
What's the difference between the three eyebrow techniques?The powder brow technique is the process of creating an eyebrow powder or pencil looking by using a hand tool with tiny needles to implant inks into your skin. The nano machine hair stroke technique is the process of implanting pigment into the skin with a machine, similar to a normal tattoo machine with a needle, to mimc the look of a natural hair stroke. The feather eyebrow is a mix of the before two techniques.
-
How do I select between those three brow techniques?In general, it all depends on your current skin and eyebrow hair condition. Our tattoo specialist will check your skin condition and give you the best solution during the consultation. Normally, we don't recommend Nano hair stroke for an oily skin or a person have no hair.

How many tattoo appointments do I need?Two procedures are needed, 8 – 12 weeks apart. With most procedures, the colour fades 30% initially. For the second procedure, our cosmetic tattooist gauges the colour retention and how you are feeling with the shape/colour before making any adjustments required.
-
How long does cosmetic tattooing last?Cosmetic tattooing generally lasts up to 1-2 years however each skin type will retain the pigment differently. This does not mean that the pigment will be completely faded, your cosmetic tattoo may just need to be refreshed to keep the tattoo looking fresh year-round.
-
How do I make my cosmetic tattoo last longer?Fading occurs due to increased sun exposure, makeup removal products, some skin products (specifically Vitamin A) and also when a lighter shade of pigment is used for the tattoo. Ensuring you use SPF daily and avoid your tattoo area where possible when removing your makeup, Vitamin A and sun exposure, can all help prevent fading.
-
What are the pigments used?The pigments we use is an Iron Oxide base pigment that is TGA approved. Specifically manufactured for implantation into human skin. There are numerous base colours which can be mixed to create a custom colour to you. Cosmetic tattoo pigments have been created for using on the face/areola/scalp specifically and are pre-mixed and sterilised, they have been formulated to allow for a ‘fade factor’- this makes them different from tattoo inks used elsewhere on the body.
-
What color will the tattoo fade to?This is different for every client. When we pick a pigment colour for your brows, we take into consideration your skin type, skin undertones, products you use on the skin and your everyday environmental factors. We use a combination of warm and cool toned pigments, and so far, none of our clients have gone red or blue after 2 years or more.

Avoid makeup removal product or cleansers for the tattooed area for the first week will be very helpful as well.
