Saline removal is significantly more gentle, faster and more predictable than laser tattoo removal. With laser, it can be very effective for large tattoos on the body, it's not always ideal for moving color, especially light color, pink, & red colors. In fact some pigments can change the color or even turn it black with laser tattoo removal. Saline can be used on any color and generally turns the pigment to a lighter version of itself until it is completely removed.

Immediately after, the area will look very red and “raw”. Excessive redness usually subsides in 2-3 days. Some skin flaking and scabbing is expected roughly 10 days post-treatment. The treated area can stay pink or slightly discolored for several weeks. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is possible and should heal with proper post care.

Eyebrows, body tattoos the size of a business card or less.

Great news!! RIGHT AWAY if your cosmetic tattoo were done improperly it can be removed the same day or within 48 hours. However if it’s not within the 48-hour window you will have to wait 4 to 8 weeks for it to heal to begin the removal process. The fresher the cosmetic tattoo is, the easier it will be to remove.
