What is saline tattoo removal?
Saline removal is a safe and effective way to lift unwanted pigment out of the skin through osmosis. It is commonly used to remove microblading, eyebrow tattoos, eyeliner tattoos, and permanent makeup tattoo removal. The process works by applying saline, a salt solution, into the skin which dilutes and extracts the color bringing it to the surface and eventually out of the skin.
What are the benefits of saline removal?
Saline tattoo removal works on all skin types and all types of ink.
It's safer, causes less scarring, and is less painful than laser tattoo removal.
Additionally, saline tattoo removal can work on pigments that laser tattoo removal is unable to break down.
Will the ink be removed completely?
Usually, most of the ink will be removed but not all of it. However, once the color has faded, correction work may be performed over it. The amount of color lifted depends on how old and deep the tattoo is implanted and how many sessions of saline are had.
What is EMERGENCY Saline Tattoo Removal?
Emergency removal involves lifting pigment from the skin before the formation of the epidermal crust during the healing phase.
This method is most effective when performed within 48 hours of receiving fresh work.
Once the skin has developed its epidermal crust, this technique becomes ineffective.
Saline Tattoo Removal Aftercare Guidelines:
Proper aftercare is essential for effective treatment outcomes.
Maintain cleanliness to prevent infection in the treated area.
If necessary, gently dab with a tissue to remove lymph.
Avoid getting the area wet for the initial 24 hours after treatment.
Allow scabbing to occur naturally. As scabs form and eventually fall off, they may pull out some pigment with them. Typically, the removal process entails 3 to 4 treatment sessions.
Saline tattoo removal involves the use of a specialized saline solution to lift unwanted pigment from the skin. Unlike laser tattoo removal, which breaks down ink particles using high-intensity light beams, saline removal works by drawing the pigment to the surface of the skin, where it can scab and eventually fall off.
The number of sessions required for saline tattoo removal to lighten the pigment depends on several factors:
1. Depth and saturation of the pigment: Deeper and more saturated pigments may require more sessions to remove completely.
2. Age of the tattoo: Older tattoos may have more deeply embedded pigment, requiring additional sessions to lighten.
3. Skin type and condition: Factors such as skin type, skin health, and circulation can affect how effectively the saline solution lifts the pigment from the skin.
4. Size and location of the tattoo: Larger tattoos or those located in areas with thicker skin may require more sessions to achieve the desired results.
5. Individual response to treatment: Some individuals may respond more quickly to saline tattoo removal than others, depending on their body's natural healing process.
In general, saline tattoo removal typically requires multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin to heal between treatments and to gradually lighten the pigment. The exact number of sessions needed will vary depending on the above factors and the desired outcome. It's essential to consult with a qualified technician who can assess your tattoo and provide personalized recommendations for the best course of treatment. Read our Full Permanent Makeup Blog.
