What is argyria?

Acute argyria is a diffuse deposit of silver from jewelry that can affect different parts of your body like your ears, belly button, nipples but most noticeably your nose piercing. As the silver deteriorates by coming in contact with gasses in the air, that tarnish is what stains your skin. The broken down silver has a much higher affinity or attraction to move into your epidermis where it is visible just under the stratus corneum or top layer of your skin. The blue grey dot is not the extent of the silver deposit in your skin. Often with use of digital flash photography the reflection from the silver can be seen extending outwards from the dot you can see with the naked eye. The metal particles are too large for your immune system to remove from your nose. The PicoWay laser can pulverize the silver into much smaller particles and with just a few treatments your body can remove the silver out of your body using natural processes.

What can I do to prevent or get rid of argyria?

Sterling silver is only 92.5% silver. It is a soft metal that easily scratches and tarnishes. The other additives to sterling silver are to make it harder and more durable. Nickel is added but is not biocompatible which means it prevents healing, opening the door right into your skin. Costume jewelry is cheaper because its mass produced in a factory. This type may increase your incidence of skin staining. Gold jewelry does not pose the same potential for argyria. Piercings are frequently left in place but removing your piercing and avoiding older jewelry will fend off argyria. Choose gold, rhodium coated, surgical steel or titanium jewelry.

The PicoWay picosecond Nd-Yag laser and the 1064nm wavelength will pulverize the large silver molecules into much smaller particles. PicoWay is safer, more efficient and more comfortable that older lasers. If you think it’s time to remove your argyria click or call me at Unthink Inc. for a free consultation.

Eyebrow tattoos have become an increasingly popular beauty trend, offering a semi-permanent solution for those seeking perfectly shaped and defined brows. However, not everyone ends up satisfied with their results. Whether it's due to a change in aesthetic preferences, an allergic reaction, or less-than-desirable outcomes, you might find yourself considering removal. At Unthink Inc. , we specialize in helping clients achieve the look they want through effective removal methods. Here’s a comprehensive guide on when to consider eyebrow tattoo removal with a combination of saline injections and laser treatment. Understanding Eyebrow Tattoos and Their Risks Before diving into when to consider removal, it's crucial to understand what eyebrow tattoos entail. Typically, these tattoos are a form of cosmetic tattooing, where pigment is implanted into the skin to create the appearance of fuller, darker eyebrows. While many are thrilled with the results, there are potential risks involved. The process can cause skin damage, infections, or allergic reactions, which in turn may lead you to reconsider your decision. Symptoms Indicating Removal Might Be Necessary 1. Faded or Uneven Pigment: Over time, the pigment used in eyebrow tattoos can fade or turn into an undesirable color, especially with exposure to sunlight. If your eyebrow tattoos have started to look uneven or have changed color, it might be an indication that removal is your best option for a fresh start. 2. Allergic Reactions: Unfortunately, not everyone’s skin reacts well to tattoo pigments. Allergic reactions can result in redness, itching, or swelling. If you experience these symptoms, removal could alleviate discomfort and help restore your skin to its natural state. 3. Discomfort or Scarring: The tattooing process can sometimes damage your skin, causing discomfort or scarring. If your eyebrow tattoos have left visible scars or if you have ongoing discomfort, removal can potentially improve the appearance of your skin, reducing both visible and physical distress. 4. Change in Aesthetic Preferences: Your style and preferences can evolve over time. What seemed like a perfect choice five years ago might no longer align with your current taste or beauty goals. If your eyebrow tattoos don't fit your desired look anymore, removal offers a safe and effective way to reclaim your natural brows. The Dual Approach: Saline Injections and Laser Tattoo Removal For those considering removal, Unthink Inc. offers a unique approach combining saline injections and the PicoWay laser treatment. This dual method is designed to deliver optimal results tailored to individual client needs. 1. Saline Injections for Lighter Pigments: In some cases, saline injections may be recommended to lift lighter pigments before proceeding with laser treatment. This helps to create a more uniform appearance and prepares the brows for effective laser removal. Our specialists, will work closely with you to coordinate the saline process, ensuring a smoother transition to laser treatments. 2. PicoWay Laser for Final Touches: Once the lighter pigments are addressed, the PicoWay laser is employed to remove the remaining darker elements of the unwanted brows. Known for its precision and safety, this state-of-the-art technology targets the tattoo pigment with minimal impact on the surrounding skin. Preparing for Your Removal Session Before undergoing treatment, a consultation with a qualified specialist at Unthink Inc. is vital. We’ll assess your tattoos and discuss your goals and expectations. Here are some tips to prepare for your session: - Avoid sun exposure at least two weeks before your appointment to reduce skin sensitivity. - Refrain from using topical creams or medications that can make your skin more sensitive. - Communicate any skin conditions or concerns with your technician. Recovery and Aftercare Post-treatment care is essential for optimal results. After your session, you may experience some redness or swelling around the treated area. To ensure a smooth recovery, follow these aftercare tips: - Avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen as advised. - Keep the treated area clean and moisturized. - Refrain from picking at any scabs or flaky skin. Removing Eyebrow Tattoos: A Step Toward Confidence Deciding to remove your eyebrow tattoos is a personal choice often motivated by the desire for self-confidence and comfort. At Unthink Inc., we're committed to supporting our clients through the removal process, providing professional care and guidance every step of the way.
