Scar Resurfacing / Scar Revision Treatments

Any Scars that have textured over your skin, or has discoloration throughout, say less, we got you covered! We are basically lightly tattooing the area with a mixture of natural ingredients to help renew the collagen & reproduce newer skin in the scarred area.

By resurfacing or lightening the existing scars that has already gone through its healing process, we recreate the healing phase again but with the help of needle cartridges & all natural serums. Most clients see results as soon as 2-4 sessions & see a visible improvement of 70-90% with lightening of the scar as well as how much the scar tissue is broken down leaving the scar closer to its original texture & reduces darkness or hyperpigmentation. This procedure is also known as scar lightening treatment, scar revision, & scar resurfacing.

Scar Camouflage / Vitiligo Camouflaging

When a scar is completely healed, and the only thing left to do is to match the hypopigmentation with a little bit of skin tone pigment. As long as there is no texture or hyperpigmentation in your scarring, we will custom match a skin tone pigment to the area that best matches you.

Once we custom match your scar to the perfect pigment, we will blend the area so when it heals, it is camouflaged with your own skin color which makes the scar much less visible. It's a confidence booster & it lasts forever as long as there are no major body changes such as another major surgery. Most clients see improvement as soon as 3 sessions & see a visible improvement up to 80-90%.

This is suitable for people with
-Tummy Tuck Scar
-Breast Augmentation Scar
-Surgical Scars such as liposuction or more invasive surgery scars
-Any HYPOPIGMENTED SCARS (healed & white (lack of color))
-with scars that are NOT textured, raised, or hyperpigmented (dark)
-Any unwanted scars that are 1+ year old or healed
-that is NOT currently pregnant or nursing

Every service comes with 2 customized treatments & we will reevaluate the scar once they are healed after 2 sessions.

Holistic Tattoo Ink Removal XTRACT

HOLISTIC Ink removal by XTRACT (Osmosis skin rejuvenation)
Another form of Tattoo or permanent make-up removal through INK CHELATION:

unlike laser or even saline, this technique is the only evolutionary service to work with the integrity of your skin to extract the fresh or old pigment inside of your skin by using your own immune cells. This service is only suitable for emergency PMU / Tattoo clients & the size of the area cannot exceed 3X3 (9 in total).

Unlike other tattoo removal methods, XTRACT is the only company to invest in their artists to educate the clients & to care for the entire after care process which has been researched to be one of the most crucial aspects of tattoo/pigment removal.

Xtract is also the only solution with those who have highly sensitive skin or darker skin tone with more melanin production as it will never take away your natural pigment of your skin or destroy the cells/skin underneath like laser or saline which can be effective but is highly invasive to our skin. For bigger tattoos, we do recommend saline although it is more invasive and has higher risks of slower returns.

Emergency PMU Removal / Botched Brow

We gently penetrate the skin with SALINE removal solution in order to remove ink from existing or new permanent make-up. It is not as compromising to the skin as laser removal. It is a safe route for anybody with sensitive skin. For any botched, freshly done permanent make-up brows that requires immediate removal. The effectiveness of the solution is best when it has been done less than 72 hours.

Older, healed work it will take up to or more than 4 sessions for best results. This treatment is very gentle compared to ink laser removal as it can sometimes destroy the pigment tone in your skin, causing hypopigmentation where the skin becomes colorless or white.
Suitable for those with:
-Unwanted tattoo or permanent make up they want removed

-Botched eyebrows, lip blushing or eyeliner within 72-hour mark

-Old, blown out work that needs gently removed

-allergies to the strong effects of laser removal

-expectation of removing ink as naturally as possible

This service is different than the holistic removal XTRACT
