How Does Saline Tattoo Removal Work?
If you’re looking to remove an old tattoo or unwanted cosmetic tattoo, saline removal could be the perfect solution. At Strokes of Genius Microblading, we offer this innovative, all-natural tattoo removal method using A+ Ocean saline solution. But what exactly is saline tattoo removal and how does it work? Let’s dive in!
What is Saline Tattoo Removal?
Saline tattoo removal is a modern technique that removes ink from the skin using a sterile saline (salt water) solution. It works in the reverse of how tattoos are applied – instead of depositing pigment under the skin, the saline solution draws pre-existing pigments out through a process called osmosis.
The saline is implanted into the tattooed area using a tattoo machine. As the solution is hypertonic (higher concentration than bodily fluids), it creates an osmotic pull that breaks up the tattoo ink and brings it to the surface of the skin over multiple treatments.
What is the Saline Tattoo Removal Process?
The saline tattoo removal process is remarkably straightforward. First, a numbing cream is applied to minimize any discomfort. Then the area is carefully sterilized.
Using a tattoo machine similar to the one used to apply tattoos, the artist will begin implanting the sterile saline solution precisely into the tattoo. You may feel a mild pricking sensation, but the procedure is virtually painless.
As the hypertonic saline triggers osmosis, pigments are gradually drawn outward from the inner skin layers. Over the next few weeks, the extracted ink will surface under a scab. Once this falls off naturally, the treated area will reveal noticeably lighter ink.
Usually, multiple sessions are needed, since the saline can only remove a portion of the pigment at a time as the skin heals. But with each appointment, your unwanted tattoo will continue to fade until it’s gone completely.
How is a Saline Solution Different from Laser Removal?
The key difference between saline and laser removal is that saline physically extracts ink from the body, while lasers only break particles into smaller fragments that remain in the skin.
Laser tattoo removal uses light energy to heat up and fracture the tattoo pigments, which are then metabolized or dispersed through the body over time. This process can sometimes lead to ink being pushed deeper into the skin.
With saline tattoo removal, the osmosis process brings all the ink up through the skin’s surface to be expelled through scabbing naturally. There’s no risk of ink dispersing further or remaining trapped under skin layers.
Saline removal also tends to be safer and more effective for removing certain ink colors, like white or pale blue, that are incredibly stubborn for laser treatments. Overall, it provides extensive fading with lower risks of scarring, burns, or skin discoloration.
