Editor’s experience Thevoicemag.ru: reduction of outdated tattoo by laser and correction

There were enough photos of victims of unsuccessful procedures on the Internet, and in order to protect myself, I went to get an “expensive and beautiful” tattoo – to a master with brilliant recommendations from the best salon in Moscow.

From the third time (after the main procedure, I needed two more corrections), I had my dream brows – dramatic and dark. In general, I was satisfied with the procedure, but after a year my eyebrows became much lighter and I still had to raise them with shadows. Nevertheless, the problem was partially solved – the missing part was no longer a problem. Four years have passed.

I have long put off a new tattoo, because in the time that has passed since the last one, the fashion for the shape of the eyebrows has changed dramatically, and the original contour of the tattoo has slightly floated, and I do not I did not say what task to entrust to the new master. Therefore, I gladly accepted the invitation to Elena Nechaeva’s salon, which promised to demonstrate how the tattoo procedure has advanced in quality and aesthetics over the years.

Fortunately, in the salon of Elena Nechaeva, master Anya Kutsevolova helped me invent a new form, which, in our unanimous opinion, suited my face much more than the previous one. But the problem with getting rid of past mistakes was that for new eyebrows it was necessary to remove the rest of the old tattoo.

I read on the web about the scary and painful laser tattoo removal procedure, during which it smells like burnt skin. I didn’t like the prospect, and I even considered leaving everything as it was, but Anya was able to convince me that I wouldn’t have time to notice how the procedure would unfold.

I believed it and was not mistaken: the whole process of removing an old tattoo really took a few minutes, and during it I only felt slight tingling from the laser flashes. The beam displaces the paint from the surface layers of the skin, and after a while the excess promises to disappear without a trace. A month after the procedure, the eyebrows should not be wet, no means other than panthenol should be applied to them, and you should not go to the solarium.

The discomfort that anyone who decides to get rid of a tattoo will face is that the eyebrows should not be touched and dropped. For me, used to the fact that they were always in place, it was difficult to look in the mirror at what was left of them, my naturals, and to resist the urge to touch them up. But you can survive a month to forget about eyebrow makeup again for a year and a half.

Within an hour and a half of meeting Anya again, sharper, more natural brows were showing on my face. During this time, I felt no pain. There was also no fear: as soon as you begin to feel the first confident movements of the master’s hand, the fear that it will shake, disfiguring your face, quickly disappears. During the first procedure, Anya also “clicked” with the laser on the artifacts left by the previous tattoo.

Having already done two procedures (basic and a correction), I can say that I definitely like the shape more, not only for me, but also for others. It looks so natural that no one doubts that I did something with them. The master chose a very good shade – cool gray, which over time will not give a red undertone, unlike the brown I had in the previous tattoo. Three months spent on the path to a new form, it’s still worth it!
