Saline Tattoo Removal

Saline tattoo removal involves penetrating the skin with a saline solution (salt + purified water) to break up the tattoo pigment and pull it out. The procedure is similar to tattooing or microblading, but instead of injecting ink underneath the skin, we’re doing the reverse, pulling it out.

​

At BellaInk, we use LI-FT, the most effective and safest saline solution. Our clients want the best results possible, so we only use the highest-quality ingredients and techniques. LI-FT is mainly made up of purified water, salt, lemon, and orange seed extracts, so it is very safe for your skin.

• First, we use a numbing cream to help minimize any pain.

• We then sterilize the area.

• Using something similar to a tattoo gun, we penetrate the skin where the tattoo is and implant the saline solution into your skin.

• The solution then does its magic by breaking up the pigment and pulling it out to the skin's outer surface through osmosis.

• The extracted pigment heals into a scab, and once it falls off, your tattoo will be noticeably lighter.

• The healing process takes about 8-10 weeks, depending on how fast your skin heals. More than one session might be required, but only once the skin has completely healed.

1. Depending on the ink quality, using the saline removal technique might be much safer. The reason? The saline removal procedure pulls the ink out of the skin into a scar that falls off, compared to laser, where the body absorbs the ink. Also, with saline removal, we’re working with saline, aka salt and water, which is naturally safe.

2. Depending on the color of your tattoo (especially if there’s white ink), the saline solution might be more effective. Why? Laser removal works with specific wavelengths of light, which must be matched to the tattoo's color to remove it. If the laser doesn’t have that particular hue, it might be hard to remove the tattoo. This is always the case for white ink since it reflects all colors, and lasers can’t identify or remove it.

3. Laser sessions can be significantly more expensive than saline removal, starting at $500 per session vs. $150-$250 per saline tattoo removal session.

4. For people with darker or sensitive skin, this is an excellent alternative because we can prevent scarring from occurring.

YOU ARE AN IDEAL CANDIDATE IF:

— You have small tattoos (no bigger than a deck of cards) or microblading/permanent makeup (eyebrows, eyeliner, lip liner, etc.).

— You don’t have any severe skin or health conditions that may prolong healing.

YOU ARE NOT A GOOD CANDIDATE IF:

— You have large tattoos (laser may be more suitable for you)

— Your skin is prone to keloid scars

— You’re diabetic

1. Once the procedure is completed, letting the wound dry and heal is best.

2. However, if you work at high-risk facilities such as gyms, schools, and hospitals, please cover the wound to avoid infections.

3. It is imperative that you do NOT pull off the scab. Please let it fall off naturally; otherwise, it might not heal properly or be done with the osmosis process of lifting the ink

4. Often, the wound might present some lymph fluid drainage. In that case, blot the area with a clean paper towel, but do not rub!

5. Also, do not use cosmetic products or makeup on the wound, which will delay healing and might even infect the area.

6. Lastly, do not wet the wound in the shower. For best results, leave the area dry.

7. After the scab falls off, you may use vitamin E oil (just 2 or 3 drops) to rehydrate the skin.

8. At BellaInk, we want you to feel at ease before undergoing our procedures. We want you to leave feeling confident, happy with your body, and satisfied with the results.
