How does E-Raze work?

The tattoo remover is applied in a similar manner to having a tattoo or micropigmentation applied using the same equipment.

The tattoo extraction formula gets to work almost immediately drawing the original tattoo ink upwards through the skin.

A crust containing the tattoo ink will form over the treated area, over the next couple of weeks as the skin heals it will push more of the unwanted ink out. The crust will start to naturally fall away taking that unwanted tattoo ink with it. It's likely that some secondary crusting will occur, again containing more tattoo ink. The treated area must be kept dry after treatment and while the crust is on the skin. See aftercare section for more information.

The remaining tattoo ink will also be lightened and moved closer to the epidermis the layer of skin that is naturally being constantly shed.The e-raze system is so effective it is technically feasible although unlikely that a tattoo can be removed in a single treatment however it is likely that entire parts of your tattoo may be removed in a single treatment and unlike laser treatments the e-raze system works equally on all colour pigments.

Generally most tattoos can be completely removed in just three to four treatments, although some older tattoos may require more.**

Quoted figures are based on trials of a series of 98 patients published in Cosmetic Dermatology April, 2001. It should be noted that the treatment method used in these trials was different than that currently employed by e-raze for the majority of treatments.

During the trial tattoo and permanent make removal was attempted in one session using multiple passes of tattooing and cream application (6-10 times). No subsequent treatments were administered after the healing process to attempt removal of any remaining pigment.

The e-raze method applies the same principle technique however only 2 passes are involved per treatment reducing discomfort and the potential chance of scarring. Further treatments are subsequently administered at intervals of no less than four weeks until all pigment is removed or subsequent treatments would prove ineffective.

** Actual number of treatments required can vary depending on your individual circumstances and condition of original tattoo, complete removal cannot be guaranteed.
