Saline Tattoo Removal in Melbourne

If you have experienced issues with microblading or need to correct your eyebrow tattoo, you may have considered having them reworked. Saline tattoo removal has long been popular among makeup tattooists for safely and efficiently lightening cosmetic unwanted tattoos and removing tattoo ink.

The saline removal technique is recommended for clients wanting to rework their brows with pigment. Different brands use different ingredients, and a saline solution includes additional ingredients to prevent scarring, even with repeated saline removal treatments.

The number of saline tattoo removal sessions needed for desired results cannot be guaranteed. Some pigments may require only one session, while others require six or more. Budgeting for three sessions for optimal results is emotionally and financially recommended. However, it is essential to note that the tattoo may be partially gone after three sessions, but we will better understand the tattoo fading process.

The desired results depend on various factors. How old is the tattoo? Was it done through microblading or a tattoo machine? How deep is the pigment implanted? Is the colour saturation dark and solid? Are you aiming to lighten existing pigment for a different tattoo?

Sometimes, only a portion of the tattoo pigment may need to be lightened or removed before correcting. A topical anesthetic is typically applied during saline solution removal.

Laser removal is effective for large tattoos but not for removing specific colours like light, pink, and red. The process involves using heat from a laser beam to fragment the ink particles, which the immune system flushes out of the body. However, when this process is used on cosmetic tattoos, there is a risk of the pigments changing colour and becoming darker.

Saline cosmetic tattoo removal is effective on all colours and typically lightens the pigments to achieve complete pigment removal.

The saline solution used for tattoo removal is hypertonic: it holds more salt than your skin cells, so through osmosis it draws water and loosened pigment up towards the surface. The treated area dries out and forms a thin scab, and the pigment lifts out with it during the skin’s natural healing process.

Technicians highly recommend saline tattoo removal for fixing, improving, or removing unwanted cosmetic tattoo pigments, such as those used for microblading and permanent makeup, because it is gentle and effective.

After saline tattoo removal the treated area is an open wound, so careful aftercare is what prevents infection and scarring and gives the best result. Each saline solution has its own routine, which is why the treatment is best done by a trained technician who knows the product and gives you instructions for it.

Some solutions need the skin kept dry, others need rehydration. Depending on the formula, you may be asked to apply vitamin E oil, or to clean the area gently with purified water and pat it dry with a clean paper towel.

The area may weep lymph fluid and form a thick scab. Don’t pick it: it usually falls off on its own within 5 to 7 days. Avoid makeup and active skincare products until the skin has fully healed.

Individuals who are under 18 years old, pregnant or breastfeeding, or have skin ailments such as psoriasis, skin diseases, skin infections, undiagnosed skin rashes, or active skin cancer are not suitable for tattoo removal.

Now that you understand saline tattoo removal, it is worth examining the various solutions available.

During treatment, Saline Solution pH provides a gentle sensation that quickly disappears. The formula contains Aloe Vera to aid in the absorption of the solution without causing excessive trauma to your dermal layer skin.

After applying Saline Solution, the skin begins to dry out rapidly, forming a thin scab. This process helps minimise inflammation and reduces the risk of scarring.

During the healing process, tattoos can often appear more aesthetically pleasing. Clients who use Saline Solution may notice that the treated area improves appearance. Unwanted grey or orange brows may turn into shades of brown, which can result in receiving compliments on the new eyebrows for a few days.

After 48 hours, clients can shower and use the aftercare serum. This will help the healing process and make it more comfortable by reducing scabbing.
