Saline Tattoo Removal
Saline Tattoo Removal at Shadiyah Camille Beauty: A Safe, Natural Alternative
At Shadiyah Camille Beauty, we understand that tattoo regret is real. Whether it’s a small tattoo that no longer resonates with you or permanent makeup that didn’t turn out as expected, our saline tattoo removal services offer a safe, effective way to lighten and remove unwanted pigment. As a natural alternative to laser tattoo removal, saline removal is gentle on your skin and suitable for a wide range of ink colors.

What is Saline Tattoo Removal?
Saline tattoo removal is a technique that uses a saline solution to draw out tattoo pigment from the skin. The solution, made of purified water and salt, is implanted into the skin using a tattoo machine or microblade, targeting the unwanted tattoo. This method works best for small tattoos and permanent makeup, such as eyebrows, eyeliner, and lip liner.
Unlike laser tattoo removal, which uses intense light energy to break down pigment, saline removal relies on a natural process called osmosis to pull the ink to the surface of the skin. This makes it a safer, gentler alternative for those with sensitive skin or tattoos in delicate areas.
How Saline Tattoo Removal Works
The Saline Solution

The Removal Process
A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort.
The saline solution is implanted into the skin using a tattoo machine or microblade, targeting the unwanted pigment.
Osmosis
The saline solution pulls the pigment to the surface of the skin through osmosis.
Scabbing
The pigment forms a scab on the surface of the skin, which eventually falls off, taking some of the ink with it.
Is Saline Removal Right for Me?
Ideal Candidates
- Small tattoos (no larger than a deck of cards)
- Permanent makeup (eyebrows, eyeliner, lip liner)
- Healthy skin with no conditions that may impede healing
Not Recommended For
- Large tattoos (laser removal may be more suitable)
- Those with sensitive skin prone to keloid scarring
- Individuals with diabetes or other conditions that affect healing
If you’re unsure whether saline tattoo removal is right for you, our experienced technicians at Shadiyah Camille Beauty will be happy to assess your unique situation and provide personalized recommendations.
Saline vs Laser Tattoo Removal
When considering tattoo removal options, it’s essential to understand the differences between saline removal and laser removal.
Safety
- Saline removal is safer for a wider range of ink colors, as it doesn’t involve intense light energy that can react unpredictably with certain pigments.
- The natural ingredients in saline solutions, like LI-FT, pose fewer risks compared to the powerful lasers used in laser removal.
Effectiveness
- Saline removal works on more ink colors, including white, which is notoriously difficult to remove with laser treatment.
- Laser removal may not effectively identify and target certain pigments, particularly those used in permanent makeup.
Cost
- Saline removal is generally more affordable, with sessions ranging from $150-250, compared to $500 or more per session for laser removal.
Scarring Risk
- Saline removal has a lower risk of scarring, especially for those with dark or sensitive skin.
- Laser removal, while generally safe, can cause scarring or pigmentation changes in some cases.
What to Expect
During the Procedure
- A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to ensure your comfort.
- The skin is penetrated with the saline solution using a tattoo machine, targeting the unwanted pigment.
- You may feel a slight tenderness or pressure, and the area may appear red and swollen immediately after the procedure.
Immediately After
- Keep the treated area dry and uncovered, allowing it to heal naturally.
- Gently blot away any fluid or drainage with a clean tissue, but avoid rubbing the area.
- Do not apply any cosmetics, lotions, or creams to the treated skin until it has fully healed.
Ongoing Aftercare
- Allow any scabbing to fall off naturally; do not pick or pull at the scabs, as this can cause scarring and interfere with the healing process.
- The treated area will take 8-10 weeks to fully heal between sessions.
- Once the scabbing has fallen off, apply a small amount of vitamin E oil to keep the skin hydrated and promote healing.
- Multiple sessions may be needed to achieve your desired results, with each session further lightening the tattoo.
