Can tattoos be removed?
Tattoo removal, also called tattoo lightening, works by implanting a solution into the skin tissue. The solution “binds” to the iron oxides in the tattoo color pigments of the treated permanent makeup tattoo or body art tattoo areas. The solution then safely lifts these pigments to the surface of the skin tissue through oxidation. A scab will form over the treated area which must be kept dry until it sloughs off naturally.
Proper education and hands-on training in permanent makeup tattoo and body art tattoo removal or lightening is key to ensure clients receive the most professional tattoo removal treatment and care. Our staff provides the very best assistance and care. Tattoo and permanent makeup lightening using the saline solution method is a better option for the lightening or removal of all cosmetic tattoos, whereas laser removal is not recommended for certain areas like the eyebrows, eyes, and lips which may turn permanent makeup pigments black.
The treatment is well tolerated by clients and generally requires several sessions spaced 8 to 12 weeks apart, depending on the goal and area being treated, to achieve optimal results. Multiple treatments are required with all tattoo removal methods. The beauty of saline tattoo removal is its safety and kindness to the skin, using an all-natural formulation. When done by an experienced removal technician results are remarkable.
