IQ Remover for Permanent Makeup Removal

Developed in the Netherlands, IQ Remover is a professional-grade solution formulated to safely and effectively remove unwanted permanent makeup pigments, including those from eyebrows, lip liner, and eyeliner. Its unique acid- or alkaline-based formula is designed to extract pigments from the skin through a controlled biochemical process, ensuring minimal trauma and a reduced risk of scarring.

How It Works

How It Works

IQ Remover’s formulation consists of alkaline earth oxides and transition metals, mixed according to a proprietary formula. These metal oxides are highly attracted to tattoo and PMU pigments. Upon application, the IQ Remover interacts with the pigments, gradually absorbing them and facilitating their movement to the skin’s surface. This process allows for the effective removal of pigments, including stubborn yellow tones that may persist after laser treatments.

Procedure Steps

Cleansing and Anesthesia

The skin surface is thoroughly cleansed, and a local anesthetic is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure.

Application of IQ Remover

The professional applies the IQ Remover solution to the targeted area, allowing it to interact with the pigments.

Drying and Crust Formation

The treated area dries, leading to the formation of a crust that encapsulates the removed pigments.

Crust Shedding and Skin Restoration

The crust naturally sheds over time, revealing restored skin beneath.

Permanent Makeup Removal Methods

Saline Method

The saline method involves injecting a saline solution into the tattooed area, which helps to break down and remove the pigment. It is a gentle, non-invasive option, but may require multiple treatments for complete removal.

Chemical Method

The chemical method uses acidic solutions to break down the pigment and exfoliate the skin. While effective for darker pigments, it can cause irritation and requires careful aftercare to avoid scarring.

Combination removal

Combination permanent makeup removal is faster, gentler, and works on all skin types. It removes all pigment types with minimal risk of scarring for safe, effective results.

Laser Method

The laser method uses high-intensity light to target and break apart pigment particles under the skin. It is one of the most effective methods for removal, but may cause discomfort and require several sessions for complete removal.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the different methods for PMU removal?
There are several methods used for removing permanent makeup (PMU), each suited to different types of tattoos and skin conditions. These methods include:

  • Saline Removal: A method that uses saline solution to draw out pigment from the skin.
  • Chemical Removal (Acid or Alkaline): A method that uses specific chemicals to break down the pigment, which is then naturally expelled by the body.
  • Laser Removal: A laser targets and breaks down the pigment particles, which are then eliminated by the body.
  • Combination Treatments: Sometimes a combination of techniques, such as laser and saline or chemical treatments, may be used to achieve the best results, especially for stubborn or multi-layered pigment.

Each method has its own advantages depending on your individual situation, and during your consultation, we will assess the best approach for your specific needs.

Every client is unique, so the best removal method depends on several factors, such as the type and depth of the pigment, your skin type, and the location of the PMU. A full consultation is essential to assess these factors and develop a customised treatment plan. During this session, we will discuss the most appropriate techniques to ensure the safest and most effective results for you.

The pain level during PMU removal varies depending on the technique used and the sensitivity of your skin. Many clients report mild discomfort, similar to the sensation of having the PMU applied. For treatments like saline or chemical removal, numbing creams can be applied to minimise discomfort. Laser treatments may cause a snapping or tingling sensation, but cooling methods can also be used to reduce pain during the procedure. We always aim to make the process as comfortable as possible for you.

The number of sessions required depends on factors like the size of the PMU, the depth of the pigment, the technique used, and your skin’s response to the treatment. Typically, multiple sessions are required, spaced about 4-12 weeks apart. In some cases, a combination of treatments may speed up the removal process, but we’ll determine the best approach during your consultation.

Side effects are generally mild and temporary. You may experience redness, swelling, or slight scabbing at the treatment site, which typically resolves within a few days. In some cases, there may be slight pigmentation changes, especially if the chemical removal method is used. Our experienced practitioners will guide you on proper aftercare to minimise risks and ensure optimal healing.

Yes, PMU removal can be done on sensitive skin, but it requires extra care and attention. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin’s condition and choose a removal method that’s suitable for your skin type. In some cases, less aggressive techniques may be recommended to minimise irritation.

Scarring is rare but can occur if the skin is not properly cared for after treatment or if the removal method is too harsh for the skin type. We will always aim to minimise any risk of scarring by selecting the most appropriate technique and ensuring you follow proper aftercare instructions.

  • Saline Removal: This technique works well for shallow tattoos. It uses a saline solution to draw out the pigment, which may require multiple sessions for complete removal.
  • Chemical Removal (Acid or Alkaline): This method uses specific chemical solutions to break down the pigment deeper in the skin. It can be effective for more stubborn PMU but may require more time to heal.
  • Laser Removal: Laser treatment works by breaking up pigment particles with light energy, which is then absorbed by the body. It’s effective for most colours and works well on deep PMU, a few sessions are often needed.

Each method has its own advantages depending on the PMU’s age, location, and type of pigment used. A consultation is necessary to evaluate the best option for you.

Proper aftercare is crucial to ensure optimal healing and prevent complications. After the procedure, we recommend avoiding sun exposure, applying a soothing ointment, and keeping the treated area clean and dry. You may also need to avoid touching or picking at the area to prevent scarring or infection. We will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions based on the removal method used.

While there is always a small risk of pigmentation changes, this is rare and usually temporary. The risk depends on the removal method, your skin type, and how well you follow aftercare instructions. Laser treatments may cause temporary lightening or darkening of the skin, but this usually resolves over time. We will work with you to minimize risks and ensure the best results.

The cost of PMU removal varies based on the size and complexity of the tattoo, the technique used, and the number of sessions required. During your consultation, we will assess your situation and provide a customised treatment plan along with an accurate cost estimate. Flexible payment options may also be available to make the process more affordable.

Yes, in some cases, combining techniques like laser and saline or chemical removal may help speed up the process, especially for stubborn PMU. However, this will depend on factors like the type of pigment used, your skin’s response, and your individual needs. A full consultation will help us determine if combination treatments are the best approach for your specific situation.
