What is Saline Tattoo Removal?
Saline tattoo removal is a non-laser technique used to lighten or remove unwanted pigment from the skin. A specialized saline solution is implanted into the skin, drawing pigment upward during the healing process. As the skin forms a scab and sheds, pigment is lifted out gradually over multiple sessions.
