What is saline tattoo removal? 

Saline removal is a safe and effective way to lift unwanted pigment out of the skin through osmosis. The process works by implanting saline, which is salt, into the skin which dilutes and extracts the color, bringing it to the surface.   

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 your tattoo be removed completely? 

No. However, once it is faded enough, you can work over it to correct it. The amount of color lifted depends on how old and deep the tattoo is implanted and how many sessions you apply. 

What is emergency saline tattoo removal? 

• Emergency Removal is when pigment is lifted out of the skin before the epidermal crust forms.
• It is most successful when performed within 48 hours of unwanted treatment. 
• Once the skin has formed its epidermal crust this process will no longer work.

Aftercare for saline tattoo removal

Aftercare is very important for the treatment to be effective.

• Keep the area clean to prevent infection.
• Dab with an alcohol swab or wet paper towel to remove lymph.
• Do not get wet for the first 24 hours. 
• Avoid soaking after 24 hours for the first ten days.
• Do not apply creams or ointments for ten days.
• Allow scabbing. The scabs will fall off and pull out color with it. 
• Removal is a process that usually requires 3 to 4 treatments.
