Designed in Germany, the Skinial Non Laser Tattoo Removal System<br />
offers a new way to get rid of unwanted tattoos. Tara Casey reports.<br />
Tattoo removal is big business. An estimated three<br />
million Australians have one or more tattoos – <strong>and</strong><br />
close to 50 percent of people with tattoos will want<br />
them removed at some stage of their lives.<br />
The most popular methods in recent times include IPL<br />
(intense pulsed light) <strong>and</strong> laser treatment. While these are<br />
effective methods for tattoo removal, a new procedure<br />
is offering comparable results with reduced risk of<br />
complications.<br />
Skinial Non Laser Tattoo Removal System is an innovative<br />
new “reverse tattoo” technology designed in Germany.<br />
‘If you have a tattoo you want to remove, the Skinial Non<br />
Laser Tattoo Removal System can leave the skin ink-free,<br />
without the risks associated with laser tattoo removal,’ says<br />
Rita Porreca from Sydney Permanent Makeup Centre.<br />
The Skinial system uses a removal liquid based on lactic<br />
acid, a substance that is naturally produced by the body,<br />
which is administered to the skin by a micropigmentation<br />
device similar to a st<strong>and</strong>ard tattoo machine.<br />
The body’s natural defence system recognises the ink<br />
under the skin as a foreign substance <strong>and</strong> the solution<br />
helps your body to reject the ink <strong>and</strong> push it to the surface<br />
where it becomes part of a scab.<br />
‘Skinial uses a micro pigmentation device with a lactic<br />
acid solution to trigger the body’s natural immune system<br />
to get rid of the foreign substance,’ Porreca explains. The<br />
pigmentation device targets clusters of up to 20 small<br />
spots in the tattoo at one time, releasing the solution into<br />
each site. The lactic acid eliminates macrophages (defence<br />
mechanism cells) from the large-volume colour particles,<br />
