The saline solution is implanted into the pigmented area and draws excess color to the surface as the skin heals. Results occur over multiple sessions and vary by pigment depth and age; it's a gentle, non-laser option for cosmetic correction.

Discomfort is typically mild to moderate; topical numbing reduces sensitivity. Expect crusting, flaking, and light scabbing for about 7–14 days. Most clients return to normal activities quickly but must avoid sun, makeup, and swimming during healing.

Session count depends on ink depth, pigment color, and how an individual's skin responds. The booking includes two treatments; many clients require 2–4 sessions total. Additional sessions are available for a fee and must be spaced 2–6 weeks apart.

Many darker pigments respond well, while certain light or stubborn colors (pale yellow, white, or some blues) may be harder to lift. During consultation we assess ink type and set realistic expectations and treatment planning.

Avoid blood-thinning medications, excessive alcohol, and strong topical actives like retinoids for several days. Protect the area from sun and tanning. Bring a list of medications and prior procedure photos to your consultation for accurate assessment.

Keep the treated area clean and dry, avoid picking scabs, and skip makeup or swimming until fully healed. Apply recommended ointment and sunblock once healed. Healing generally takes one to two weeks; follow technician instructions and schedule follow-ups 2–6 weeks apart.
