How Does Saline Tattoo Removal Work?

With Saline Tattoo Removal the ink is pushed to the surface as the scab is healing. Results show approximately eight weeks after a procedure and some tattoos will require multiple sessions. Sessions are rated at 90 mins. in length.

Ideal for removing permanent makeup or cosmetic tattoos- such as eyeliner corrections, eyebrows and overlined lips. (Lip tissue cannot be removed, so only the parts of the tattoos that were too far outside the lines can be removed/adjusted.)

Saline Tattoo Removal Frequently Asked Questions

What is saline tattoo removal?

Saline tattoo removal is a method of “tattooing” a saline solution into the unwanted tattoo to flush out the ink. As the skin heals, the ink continues to be pulled out and lightens in an ongoing manner. This method is ideal for permanent makeup and tattoos that would be negatively affected by laser removal. It is also the only safe solution for permanent eyeliner removal. Several sessions may be needed depending on the size of the tattoo and amount of pigment being removed.

Is saline tattoo removal better than laser tattoo removal?

Saline removal is ideal for smaller, delicate areas like around the eyes and certain areas of the mouth. Laser cannot be done near the eyes and has the potential to darken certain pigments (like camouflage tatoos, freckle tattoos, red tattoos.) However, if the area is larger, we can refer you to a laser removal clinic to help you.

Does it hurt?

The procedure feels like a tattoo. Pain threshold levels vary from person to person and every effort is made to ensure you remain as comfortable as possible for the process. We do use topical anesthetic to help you with the sensation.

How many sessions will I need?

The number of sessions needed depends on several factors and varies from client to client. The tattoo’s size, age and location as well as the type, depth and color of pigment(s) used will make a difference.

Can you remove migrated Permanent Makeup?

We do not recommend Saline Tattoo Removal for Permanent Makeup migration. The saline can cause the pigment to spread further and we don’t want to create further problems.

How long do I have to wait in between each session?

A minimum of 8-10 weeks must pass before another session can be performed. The tattoo is still lightening during that period so it is ideal to let it heal adequately before booking in for a subsequent session.

What final results can I expect?

Clients should be realistic in their expectations. They should expect a gradual lightening of the tattoo, as a full removal takes time and multiple sessions. After an initial session an assessment can be made to determine how many more sessions may help.
