Specialist correction of previous permanent makeup — fading, reshaping or colour-correcting work carried out elsewhere, handled with care and expertise.
Correction and Removal is a specialist service for clients who have previously had permanent makeup carried out — whether lip blush, lip neutralisation, or other cosmetic tattoo work — and are looking to fade, reshape, recolour, or otherwise correct the results. This can include work carried out by other technicians that hasn't healed as expected, has changed colour over time, or simply no longer suits the client's preferences.
Correcting previous permanent makeup work requires a different approach to a fresh treatment — it involves carefully assessing what pigment is already present, how it has aged, and what is realistically achievable. Kate approaches every correction case with honesty about what can and cannot be improved, and will never proceed with a treatment she doesn't believe will give you a good result.
Every case is unique, which is why a thorough consultation is essential before any correction or removal work begins.
Kate examines the existing work, discusses your history and goals, and provides an honest assessment of what's achievable — including realistic timelines.
Depending on your case, this may involve colour correction, fading techniques, or reshaping — sometimes across multiple sessions.
Kate will guide you through the process step by step, with aftercare support at each stage of your correction journey.
| Lip / Eyebrow Saline Tattoo Removal — Single Session1.5 hrs | £100 |
| Lip / Eyebrow Saline Tattoo Removal — 3-Session Package4.5 hrs total | £300 |
Saline removal typically takes 3-10 sessions, spaced 6-8 weeks apart, to achieve visible fading. For broader correction work — fixing shape, colour or symmetry from previous treatments elsewhere — pricing is determined following an in-depth consultation and assessment of the existing work. Kate will provide a clear quote and treatment plan before any work begins. All bookings and payments are securely handled via Fresha.
Not every case of previous permanent makeup can be fully corrected, and Kate believes strongly in setting realistic expectations from the outset. If, after assessment, Kate feels a different specialist or approach (such as laser removal) would better serve your needs, she will tell you honestly and point you in the right direction.
Not always — it depends on the pigment used, how it has healed, and the skin's response. Kate provides an honest assessment during consultation about what is realistically achievable in your case.
Yes — correction and removal work is highly individual, so a thorough consultation is essential before any treatment plan or pricing can be confirmed.
This varies significantly depending on the existing work and desired outcome. Some cases may need one session, while more complex corrections may require a series of sessions over time.
If Kate feels your case would be better served by a different approach, such as laser removal, she will discuss this with you honestly during consultation rather than proceeding with an unsuitable treatment.
Numbing is used throughout, as with all of Kate's treatments. Sensitivity can vary depending on the condition of the skin and existing pigment.
