TGS Lab

TGS Lab is a paramedical tattoo and skin restoration studio in Scottsdale, Arizona, inside Scottsdale Salon Studios. Founder Tiffany Stewart opened it after working as a Certified Medical Assistant. The studio offers camouflage tattooing for scars, stretch marks and skin discoloration, along with brow services, facial treatments, scalp treatments for thinning hair, and non-laser tattoo removal.

Brow services include lamination, which takes about an hour, needs no numbing and has no downtime; results last about four to six weeks depending on aftercare, and brow conditioning is included. Microblading sessions run two to three hours with numbing cream applied beforehand, and a complimentary touch-up is included six to ten weeks after the first session. Scottsdale BB Glow is a one-hour semi-permanent treatment that combines nanoneedling with a tinted serum.

Microneedling with hyaluronic acid sessions take one to one and a half hours, with numbing cream applied first and a complimentary LED session included. Mild redness typically fades within 24 to 48 hours. The studio says its microneedling is performed by licensed professionals using sterile tools. Microneedling cannot be done while a client is taking Accutane, and clients must be off it for at least six months. Afterward, SPF 30+ is advised, along with avoiding direct sun, tanning and sweating for 72 hours. Nue Strand uses scalp microneedling with a peptide serum for thinning hair, without medications or surgery. It is recommended as at least two to three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart, with maintenance every six to 12 months. The site states up to 80% more hair growth after two treatments, and notes results may vary.

UNDO is a three-step non-laser tattoo removal system that lifts pigment toward the surface of the skin. It is used for permanent makeup, scalp micropigmentation, and small to medium tattoos, and is stated to work on all skin tones and ink colors. A topical anesthetic is applied first. Most clients need fewer sessions than with laser removal, and downtime is usually slight redness or scabbing over about four weeks. UNDO can be combined with camouflage tattooing or microneedling.
