SALINE TATTOO REMOVAL

Non-laser removal, also known as saline removal, is a method of removing pigment from skin cells using simple solutions rather than lasers. Saline removal actually removes ink from the body, whereas a method such as laser removal, breaks up the ink into smaller fragments and may push pigment deeper into the skin, only to then be processed by your lymphatic system.
