SPMU SALINE REMOVAL
Saline removal is a widely used technique for lightening or removing permanent makeup (PMU) and tattoos. Here’s how it works:
1. Introduction of Saline Solution
The process involves introducing a sterile saline solution (typically a mixture of salt and water, sometimes with additional ingredients like lemon seed extract or aloe) into the skin where the PMU or tattoo ink is located. This is done using a machine or tool similar to those used for tattooing or microblading.
2. Osmosis Process
Saline removal relies on the natural process of osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane (in this case, the skin) to balance salt concentrations on both sides.
- The saline solution creates a high-salt environment on the surface of the skin.
- This draws water from the lower layers of the skin up toward the surface, bringing pigment particles along with it.
3. Scabbing and Pigment Extraction
Once the saline solution has been worked into the skin, the area will form a scab as part of the healing process. As the scab forms and eventually falls off, it takes some of the pigment with it, lightening the tattoo or PMU over time.
4. Multiple Sessions
Saline removal is a gradual process, often requiring multiple sessions to achieve the desired level of lightening or complete removal. The number of sessions depends on:
- The depth and type of pigment
- Skin type
- The age of the PMU or tattoo
5. Aftercare
After each session, proper aftercare is crucial. This typically involves:
- Keeping the area clean and dry
- Avoiding picking at scabs
- Using any recommended ointments to support healing
6. Why Choose Saline Removal?
- Safe for Most Skin Types: It’s considered a gentle method with fewer risks compared to laser removal.
- Effective on All Pigment Colours: Unlike laser treatments, which may struggle with certain colours (e.g., white, pink, or light colours), saline can lift any pigment.
- Natural and Non-Laser Alternative: Suitable for those who prefer non-laser options or who may not be good candidates for laser removal.
Potential Risks
Though generally safe, risks include:
- Skin irritation
- Scarring if aftercare isn’t followed
- Incomplete removal depending on pigment depth and age

Emergency removal
Just had your brows or lips tattooed and hate them? Saline works best within 24 hours of treatment. Don’t delay and book as soon as you can, as once your skin begins to heal directly after your treatment, you will need to await healing, as the skin will begin to scab from your initial treatment.
