Saline lightening treatments for permanent makeup, especially for brows, are a popular method for safely and effectively removing or lightening unwanted pigment.

How Saline Removal Works

Saline removal involves implanting a saline solution into the skin where the unwanted pigment resides. The process utilizes the same machine used for Second Sister Esthetics permanent make-up services to introduce the saline solution, which lifts the pigment up and out of the skin through osmosis. This causes the area to dry out and form a scab, which eventually falls off, taking some of the pigment with it.

Benefits of Saline Removal

  1. Safe for All Pigment Colors: Unlike laser removal, which can struggle with certain pigments, saline removal is effective for all colors, including those that may turn dark or black with laser treatments.

  2. Preserves Brow Hair: Saline removal does not harm existing brow hair, which is a significant advantage over laser removal that can potentially damage hair follicles.

  3. Gentle and Effective: This method is less painful compared to laser removal and typically results in less scarring. It also allows for future rework of the brows with new pigment once the old pigment is sufficiently lightened.

Procedure and Aftercare

  • Sessions Required: The number of sessions needed varies depending on the depth and saturation of the pigment. On average, 3-6 sessions may be required to achieve the desired lightening or removal.

  • Healing Process: Post-procedure, the treated area may appear pink or red and feel tender for a few days. It’s crucial to keep the area clean and dry and avoid picking at the scabs to prevent scarring.

  • Comfort: Most clients find the procedure relatively comfortable, especially with the use of numbing creams.

Considerations Before Choosing Saline Removal

  • Consultation: A thorough consultation is essential to assess the specific needs and conditions of your brows.

  • Potential Results: The effectiveness of saline removal depends on several factors, including the age of the tattoo, the technique used, and the client's skin type and healing response.

Saline removal is a highly recommended option for those looking to correct or completely remove unwanted permanent makeup, providing a safer and more flexible alternative to laser treatments.
