  • Posted to What can I do to fade my permanent makeup eyebrow tattoo? on 2 Apr 2012

    I don't know what aquaphor is but I have a follow up appointment with my technician in a few days and I'll be ask her if I can put Vitamin E oil on it. I'll let you know.

    Well, it only took about five days for the first set to fall off. By that, I mean, the initial scab which was black with pigment. Immediately after those came off though, a second set formed and then fell off after another three days or so. So all told the scabs came off within the 7 to 10 days I was told it would take.
    I do have dark pink scars left and they are slightly indented but I believe this will be temporary and that in time and proper care, the skin will rejuvenate.

    I did not have Rejuvi; I had a similar procedure called Eliminink. Rejuvi is supposed to be even better than Eliminink as it has a scar inhibitor directly in the serum injected into the skin. I was given a strong antibiotic to put over the scabs for 24 hours immediately following the procedure but instructed to keep the area dry thereafter and to allow the scabs to dry up and harden and eventually fall off on their own. I was careful 9and still am) to never ever scratch the area. When it itches, I tap lightly over the irritated area with CLEAN fingers. The scabs have now fallen off and the pigment went with them. Now, I'm lucky as the technician who applied my permanent makeup didn't go very far into the skin so I only needed one treatment. Other women may need more than one treatment depending on the initial application. I can tell you that the scars are a little pink. Of course they are. That's natural. But my Eliminink technician gave me a wonderful serum to apply as a scar inhibitor and I can see the healing day after day. In a few months, I believe the scars will be gone. I am very, very happy with my results so far. Frankly, waiting for scars to heal is far better than living with the permanent makeup.

    So nice to hear this story. I had my Eliminink procedure done two weeks ago to remove my eyebrow nightmare and I am so happy with the results. I tried to find a certified Rejuvi technician in my area but the only one was a wretchedly rude and abusive woman and I turned tail and ran from her spa. In search of an alternative, I found a smattering of Eliminink technicians and made sure to check out the before and after pics of their work before landing on the the right one for me. I found her in Kleinberg Ontario. She is a doll. Comforting, reassuring, and has the pictures to back up her successful results. It's been almost two weeks, the scabs fell off and with the application of a remarkable serum she left me with, the healing continues at a rapid pace. I am so relieved, happy and have hopefully learned my lesson. Best to all.

    Well, from what I could gather researching during the winter, the major difference is this: the serum injected with Rejuvi includes a scar inhibitor whereas with Eliminink, you are to apply (plastic surgery grade) scar inhibitor topically after the scab has fallen off. That's all I could gather. Perhaps someone else has a better understanding.
