PMU Saline Tattoo Lightening in Philadelphia & New Jersey
If you have an unwanted PMU tattoo you want to be lightened our studio specializes in the innovative saline method. This technique uses a safe saline solution to gently lift pigment over multiple sessions for excellent tattoo fading results with minimal side effects.
How Does PMU Saline Tattoo Lightening Work?
Saline lightening involves injecting a sterile saline solution into the skin above the tattoo using thin needles. The salt solution is gently worked over and around the inked area using specialized techniques to break up the pigment. Over 4-8 week intervals between sessions, the body’s immune response gradually flushes away the pigment particles safely.
Benefits of PMU Saline Tattoo Removal
Saline PMU lightening performed by our skilled technicians offers many advantages. Including:
1. Gentler Technique
The saline gently lifts pigment over time rather than aggressively zapping particles in one blast during laser removal. This reduces trauma to the skin.
2. Fewer Scarring Risks
With the immunoblot technique, there is far less damage to collagen and other structures that can lead to permanent scar tissue formation compared to lasers.
3. Effective Multi-Color Ink Fading
Saline effectively lifts all pigment colors over time, unlike lasers that struggle to remove certain stubborn pigments.
4. Gradual Results
The more gradual lightening looks natural rather than abrupt light patches from lasers.
5. Shorter Healing Times
Clients experience only minimal redness for a couple of days versus more intense swelling and blistering from laser sessions.
6. No Harsh Chemicals
As a simple salt solution, saline is far safer than using potentially hazardous fading chemicals.
7. More Comfortable Process
The immunoblotting technique involves relatively gentle injections rather than the hot laser zapping sensation.
Overall, saline lightening performed by our seasoned technicians makes tattoo fading safer, gentler, and more effective.
