Saline Removal is a specialized cosmetic procedure designed to quickly lift and remove unwanted pigment within 48 hours of receiving a permanent makeup or tattoo application. This emergency removal technique offers a safe and efficient solution to prevent the pigment from settling deeply into the skin.
The process involves applying a natural saline solution to the treated area using a tattoo machine. The solution works by drawing the fresh pigment to the surface, allowing it to be safely lifted out. This emergency procedure is ideal for clients who experience regret or dissatisfaction immediately after a permanent makeup application or tattoo and want to reverse the results before they become more permanent.
Saline removal works by creating a controlled wound and then using osmosis (basically, drawing pigment out of the skin by pulling it upward through the scabbing process). That scab is literally what lifts pigment out.
Ideal For: Clients seeking immediate removal or correction of recently applied permanent makeup, such as eyebrow tattoos, or small body tattoos. It’s crucial to act quickly within the first 48 hours to achieve the best results.
Process: During the procedure, the saline solution is applied to the treated area, and the unwanted pigment begins to lift. The skin forms a natural scab during the healing process, which helps to eliminate the pigment over time. This method is gentle, minimizing the risk of scarring and promoting safe, effective pigment removal.
Aftercare: Proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing. You will receive detailed instructions on how to care for the treated area, including avoiding sun exposure and applying saline wipes to the area to ensure the best possible results.
The number of additional sessions needed depends on the saturation and depth of the pigment. Additional sessions must be done 10-12 weeks post-procedure to perfect the first results. Touch-ups can be booked for $100, but they must be scheduled 10-12 weeks apart and consecutively. If the chain of touch-ups is broken, it will be considered that the desired results have been achieved. Emergency saline removal within 48 hours may reduce the need for multiple sessions.
