What Makes Botched Ink Different?

Work smarter, not harder!

• No Soggy Bottoms: Botched Ink saline removal makes the skin dry out super quickly. This prevents the formation of thick soggy scabs, and reduces inflammation and irritation, unlike traditional methods that can leave behind uncomfortable scabs

• Star Ingredients: Aluminum sulfate is a key ingredient that helps form a thin, dry scab by stopping bleeding and drying out the skin, making the process to remove microblading faster and more comfortable

• Sachets, not Bottles: Botched Ink is packaged in single-use sachets to maintain the freshness and potency of its ingredients, avoiding the degradation of saline removal solutions that happens with open bottles

Understanding what you have is the first step to knowing what you need

Traditional non-laser pigment removal methods can be painful and messy. With saline removal usually involving multiple painful passes of a needle, using microblading removal solutions that can cause skin irritation and lengthy healing times. Who wants a product to be forced into their skin!

Botched Ink saline removal changes all this with our revolutionary approach to remove microblading

Botched Ink floats up an out the unwanted pigment. Naturally eliminate ink particles out of the body, visibly as the skin dries out. You can often see pigment in the thin dried out skin scab. Botched Ink does not rely on laser technology to shatter pigment into smaller particles, to be absorbed into the body for the immune system to deal with over the coming months

Botched Ink is an effective saline removal method to remove microblading ink, achieving desired results in a more gentle removal journey. For pigment-saturated skin, it's always best to manage expectations when considering other methods of permanent makeup removal

If your microbladed eyebrows has deep work, with visibly solid pigment, it's very likely to also have scar tissue. Botched Ink's gentle methods, not only removes the pigment, but improves any scar tissue, and even eyebrow hair growth

Advanced Ingredients for Better Results

Maximum potency, gentle method, easy healing, consistent results

Botched Ink microblading removal uses some unique ingredients that set it apart. One key ingredient is concentrated aloe vera. Most products use regular aloe vera gel, but Botched Ink saline microblading removal uses aloe vera juice powder, that's 200 times more concentrated

This super concentrated and powerful aloe vera, helps the other ingredients in Botched Ink easily soak deeply into the surrounding skin. It also speeds up the drying process, which is crucial for effective microblading removal, and helps break down unwanted pigment from any skin type or colour

When dealing with permanent makeup removal, Botched Ink provides a gentle alternative to traditional saline and non-laser tattoo removal treatments. Botched Ink was developed for the face and microblading eyebrows, you don't need a harsh product to be effective

Another important ingredient in our saline removal, is aluminum sulfate. This substance is known for its ability to stop bleeding and dry out any skin type quickly. When applied, it helps to form a thin, dried-out scab rather than a thick, wet one. This minimizes the risk of inflammation and irritation, particularly in sensitive skin

Whether you're removing permanent makeup or microblading eyebrows, the process remains gentle, fast and effective

Minimal Needle Passes

Botched Ink is absorbed into the skin, not forced

With Botched Ink, you only need one dense pass with the needle to create enough holes in the skin. This is different from other microblading removal methods that might require multiple sessions

After making the needle holes, the skin is soaked with Botched Ink. The concentrated ingredients, including aloe vera and aluminum sulfate, then work their magic. This method not only makes the process faster but also less painful for the client

To remove microblading, the needling part shouldn't be painful

The Science Behind Botched Ink Microblading Removal

Understanding how Botched Ink saline microblading removal works, involves a bit of science

Osmosis and Non-Laser Tattoo Removal

Preventing soggy bottoms and sore skin

Osmosis is a process where liquid moves through a semipermeable membrane to balance concentrations. Think of a plant needing water. When the plant gets enough, it looks healthy and grows. If it doesn’t get enough water, it droops. To remove microblading, a similar concept is used with saline solution

When you apply a saline solution or salt to the skin, it can make the surrounding skin wetter as it tries to balance the salt levels. This can lead to a soggy scab, which is not ideal for removing microblading or tattoo pigment

Botched Ink solves this problem by using ingredients that dry out the skin quickly. This helps in creating a thin, effective scab without the soggy mess, reducing the increased risk of irritation to the surrounding tissue and skin

pH Balance and Stinging Sensations

It's all about when you feel the sting, not how much it stings

The pH of Botched Ink microblading removal solution is around 5.5, which matches the natural pH of healthy skin. When a product has a different pH, it can cause a stinging sensation

With Botched Ink, clients feel a slight sting towards the end of the soaking. The sting at this point is a good sign, this lets us know we made enough needle holes, and not Botched Ink has fully absorbed under the tattoo. The dermis is around pH7, and that's the sting when Botched Ink is around pH 5.5

Some removal methods have very low pH levels, similar to lemon juice or vinegar. These can be very painful, especially if there's been multiple needle passes, and then a long soak afterwards

Botched Ink avoids this problem by maintaining a pH that is close to the skin’s natural level, making the process more comfortable, especially for those with a sensitive skin type

Botched Ink Analysis:

Let's look at a summary of the Botched Ink difference

Wound Healing and Scab Formation:

• Objective: The goal is to minimize inflammation and irritation during tattoo removal, preventing thick, uncomfortable scabs that risk splitting or premature removal
• Challenges: Traditional microblading removal methods such as laser tattoo removal or non-laser complete removal methods can lead to thick, unsightly scabs and risk of scarring. Inflammation and irritation can affect healing and results, especially with permanent makeup
• Solution: Botched Ink expedites skin drying, minimizes inflammation, and reduces irritation using advanced ingredients for better results. By creating a thin scab, Botched Ink reduces the chances of scar tissue forming or skin damage when removing microblading or tattoo pigment

Botched Ink Mechanism and Ingredients:

• Mechanism: Uses a minimal number of needle passes and relies on the solution to penetrate the skin effectively, just like a serum
• Key Ingredients: Aloe vera (200 times concentrated) for enhanced absorption and deeper penetration, and aluminum sulfate (a styptic) to stop bleeding and dry the skin quickly
• Benefits: One pass is sufficient, leading to effective pigment removal with reduced pain and discomfort. Botched Ink also prevents complications like pigment or ink particles spreading beyond treated area or excess bleeding, which can happen in traditional laser tattoo removal or other removal methods

pH Levels, Aftercare, and Packaging:

• pH and Sensation: The product’s pH (5.5) matches healthy skin, causing minimal sting. Other products with extreme pH levels (2-4) can be painful, particularly when dealing with permanent makeup or eyebrow tattoo removal
• Aftercare: Emphasizes not washing the treated area for the first 48 hours to maintain the dry scab and avoid irritation. This is particularly important for sensitive skin types, ensuring the best possible results from the microblading removal process. Proper aftercare instructions are key to proper care, ensuring the skin heals well after removing permanent makeup or microblading pigments
• Packaging: Uses single-use sachets to ensure freshness and potency, avoiding the degradation issues of open bottles. This packaging method ensures that each application uses a fresh, potent formula to achieve optimal results when removing microblading

Benefits of Using Botched Ink:

Faster Healing Time:

Since Botched Ink dries out the skin quickly, clients experience a faster healing process. Traditional removal methods can leave clients with thick, uncomfortable scabs that take longer to heal. With Botched Ink, the skin forms a thin, dry scab that heals more efficiently, even when removing stubborn microblading pigments

Less Pain and Discomfort:

One of the biggest advantages of Botched Ink is the reduced pain and discomfort. Traditional methods can require multiple passes with the needle, which can be quite painful, especially in areas with permanent makeup

Botched Ink requires just one pass and uses a less painful soaking process, making it ideal for sensitive skin and smaller areas like eyebrow tattoo removal

Consistent Results:

Botched Ink is designed to give consistent results. The combination of advanced ingredients and the one-pass method helps to ensure that the removal process is effective every time. Clients can expect better results and fewer complications, reducing the need for multiple sessions typically required in a few other methods of laser tattoo removal
