saline tattoo removal

---

It is critical to follow all aftercare instructions to prevent complications, scarring and to achieve optimum results:

• Keep the area clean - CLEANSE the area FOUR times a day with a saline solution by using a cotton pad or paper towel and blot the area. Ensuring your hands are washed before cleansing the area.
• Keep the area uncovered (do not put a band-aid or anything over the top of the treated area)
• Do not soak the treated area in water - do not let the area stay wet for more than a few minutes (gently pat dry if the area does get wet)
• No bathing, swimming, saunas, hot tubs, tanning or exercise (NO EXCEPTIONS)
• Do not disrupt the scabbing process (no picking, scratching etc). The scabbing must fall off naturally to achieve optimum results. Picking off the scab may cause scarring to the area.
• Treat the area with TLC. Do not do anything that could cause issues or problems to the treated area.
• Once all the scabbing has naturally fallen off, apply one drop of vitamin E oil 3 to 4 times throughout the day for a minimum of 4 weeks or until next removal session. Do not apply vitamin E oil UNTIL all scabbing has naturally and completely fallen off.
• LIPS - please drink all liquids with a straw until all scabbing has naturally fallen off. Do not use whitening or peroxide toothpastes. Cut food into small bites (do not bite into food). Try to keep mouth expressions to a minimum.  

• It is important to the process and integrity of the skin that 8 full weeks of healing take place before another removal session can be done. No exceptions
• Lightening unwanted pigment can be a long process and patience is required. This is true whether you are choosing a saline removal product or laser. Please be patient and give the process a fair chance to work. Expect visible and wanted results in 2 to 5 sessions. How many sessions needed will depend on how saturated the pigment is, how deep it was implanted, the location, the skin type and how much needs to be lightened for the desired result. In many cases only a percentage of the pigment needs to be lightened and then we can continue the correction process by color correcting or color shifting. In those cases where we have pigment misplaced or in an unwanted area, color correcting will not be an option and lightening as much of the pigment as possible will be our ultimate goal.
• Results cannot be foreseen, predicted or guaranteed.
• If you have any questions or concerns please call us. If at any time you have any green or yellow puss in the area of the lightening procedure, or any concerns at all during the healing process please call us immediately.
