What is saline tattoo lightening/removal ??
Saline tattoo lightening is a procedure where a saline solution is deposited into the skin using a tattoo machine or a manual tool. The solution breaks down the pigment and then draws it up and out of the skin.
​
This method of tattoo lightening can take several sessions to achieve the desired results, however full removal can not always be achieved. Saline lightening is a great option for those who wish to start their journey to lighten the unwanted pigment with the desire to eventually have fresh brows for a more natural look.
​
*Pink Fluff Tattoo only offers saline lightening for eyebrows. There must be a minimum of 8 weeks between each session.

Do not put any skincare products or makeup near the area until after the scabbing is gone and the area is fully healed
