Permanent makeup is a lifesaver when it comes to saving your budget and time in the morning or having the best smudge-free makeup with a long-lasting effect. It is really advantageous to people who might have trouble with makeup application due to some reasons, related to health conditions: tremors, Parkinson’s disease, movement restrictions, and poor eyesight. It is also very helpful for elderly people and those who have allergic reactions to makeup.
Unfortunately, sometimes, the treatment can be performed unprofessionally, and you don’t like the result. The pigment can fade unevenly, migrate or even turn blueish or reddish if the PMU artist hasn’t learned the color theory.
But don’t get upset or frustrated. The most widely used, effective, and highly recommended procedure can help you deal with this – it’s called Saline Tattoo Removal. It will help you get rid of unwanted or bad permanent makeup. Find the most useful information about the life-changing procedure in our article.
What is Saline Removal?
Saline Removal is the process of completely removing unwanted permanent makeup with saline (salt water). The solution is injected into the same place as the permanent makeup pigment by means of a similar PMU machine for a certain period of time.
Basically, removers are suspensions that can bind to pigment molecules stabilized in the skin, then lift and remove them from the tissues of the skin. First, it turns the pigment into a lighter version of itself until it is completely removed. Saline Tattoo Removal implants the saline into the skin and makes the area dry out quickly. If there is some pigment there, it dries out too.
Today, here in California, there is a better version of salted water that doesn’t harsh on the skin or rub salt in the wound. The new, specially formulated solution is called Botched Ink.
The procedure can be done after the Microblading, permanent makeup (eyebrows, eyeliner, lips) or Scalp Micropigmentation disaster and is performed at reasonable prices.
What pigment color can be removed with Saline Tattoo Removal?
The new Saline Removal method can remove any color of pigment while laser removal doesn’t deal with reddish or yellowish shades.
When can I get Saline Removal?
After the eyebrow/eyeliner/lips permanent makeup procedure, the skin gets irritated and requires healing. So, you have to wait for six to eight weeks to schedule your Saline Removal injection appointment. It is done to protect your skin and to prevent skin scarring.
How many sessions does Saline Removal take?
You can do between one and six sessions of Saline Removal or more to get rid of permanent makeup, everything is individual here. Here is what influences on the number of sessions:
- complete removal or just lightening to do another cosmetic tattoo later
- skin type and characteristics
- how old the permanent makeup is
- pigment color
- the amount of pigment in the skin
- how deep the pigment is inserted (injection)
- the ingredients used in the pigment (organic/inorganic)
- the type of procedure (microblading or machine PMU).
You should keep in mind that you will have to wait for 6 – 8 weeks between sessions to let the skin recover and heal properly.

There are open wounds after the procedure and the skin needs to be treated well during the healing process: for example, you shouldn’t wear makeup on this area. You will be given the full list of Aftercare Instructions after the procedure.
There are different types of instructions for different saline solutions. Some of them require the application of vitamin E oil, while others just require keeping the area clean. The most general pieces of advice are:
- Don’t pick the scabs to avoid scarring.
- Stay hydrated.
- Refrain from alcohol and smoking.

Does Saline Tattoo Removal Hurt?

The Saline Removal procedure is very similar to the permanent makeup treatment you’ve done before, so you can compare them and know what to expect.
