Using a permanent makeup machine and needle cartridge, the saline solution is implanted into the skin where the existing pigment is. The solution is formulated to draw the pigment up and out of the skin. Following the treatment, the area will then scab over and when the scab falls off the pigment gradually goes with it.

Saline removal and laser removal are two different methods used to lighten or remove unwanted tattoos. Each method has its own advantages and considerations, and the choice between them depends on factors such as your skin type, tattoo characteristics, and personal preferences. Here's a comparison of saline tattoo removal and laser tattoo removal:

Saline method:

Sessions are generally longer than laser removal sessions and may require more sessions.

Less invasive and far less painful compared to lasers.

Saline contains all-natural ingredients which are appealing to clients who want to avoid using strong lasers on their skin.

Complete removal might not be guaranteed, especially for tattoos with deep or dense pigments.

This technique is usually more cost effective.

Laser method:

Sessions are generally faster than saline removal and may require fewer sessions.

The heat generated by lasers can cause extreme discomfort and potential side effects such as swelling, blistering, hair-loss and hyperpigmentation.

Not all skin types and ink colours respond equally well to lasers.

Costs can be higher than saline removal due to the use of specialised equipment.

The number of sessions needed can vary depending on factors such as the tattoo size, age, ink type, and the individual's skin. On average, tattoos require 2 - 5 sessions, with the sessions being 8-12 weeks apart.

The duration of the session can vary depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the tattoo and how well your skin responds to the removal process. Generally, for brows about 1hr, for small tattoos about 15-30 minutes.

Over the next few days and weeks, the skin will go through various stages of healing. Immediately after the treated area might appear red, swollen, and irritated. This is a common reaction and usually subsides within a few hours to a day. The tattoo may appear frosted or white due to the interaction between the saline solution and tattoo pigments. Within a few days the redness and swelling should diminish, and the skin will start to heal. Scabs or crusts may form over the treated area as part of the healing process. It's important not to pick at these scabs to prevent scarring. In the weeks after each session the scabs or crusts fall off, the treated area may look a bit uneven or blotchy as new skin is revealed. The tattoo pigments will gradually fade, and you may notice some lightening of the tattoo.

This method is safe for removal of lips and eyeliner.

Before your treatment begins, we will undertake a consultation, this can be done on the same day.

We will talk about your semi permanent makeup or tattoo removal and skin, your medical history and what you would like to achieve from your session.

To your comfort a local anaesthetic cream will be applied before commencing your treatment – most people are surprised at how comfortable the process is.

The LiFT® solution is delivered into the skin in the same way that the work was originally done - with a tattoo or semi permanent makeup device. Once this has been done, the area is soaked in the solution for 10 minutes

Aftercare is explained in full. Most clients experience light scabbing in the removal area for a few days after the treatment. The area needs to be kept clean, and dry.

If you already have permanent makeup that has faded, and maybe needs a colour correction (perhaps they are greyish, or a little warm/pink?) then they must be faded enough for the skin to have 'room' in it to accept the new colour. If your work is too saturated, a few removal sessions can help to remove enough ink or pigment to make a correction successful.
