Laser Removals vs. Non Laser Saline Removals
LASER TATTOO REMOVAL
Laser permanent makeup removal in Orange County can be an effective and relatively fast option for lightening or removing botched microblading, faded brows, or unwanted permanent makeup tattoos. While laser removal may deliver quicker visual fading compared to other methods, it’s important to understand both the benefits and limitations before choosing this approach.
The laser tattoo removal process works by delivering highly concentrated beams of light into the skin. This laser energy targets the pigment particles embedded in the dermis, breaking them down into microscopic fragments. Over time, your body’s immune system naturally absorbs and flushes these fragments away, resulting in a gradual lightening of the tattooed area.
Most clients seeking laser microblading removal in Orange County will require multiple sessions—typically between 3 to 10 treatments—to achieve optimal results. The total number of sessions depends on several factors, including skin type, the age of the tattoo, pigment saturation level, and whether inorganic, organic, or hybrid pigments were used. Laser removal does not involve incisions and is considered a minimally invasive, bloodless procedure. Because the laser specifically targets pigment particles, surrounding skin tissue remains largely unharmed when performed correctly by a qualified provider.
Pros of Laser Eyebrow Tattoo Removal
Duration of procedure time: Fast and Effective
Minimal Recovery time
Safe
Cons of Laser Eyebrow Tattoo Removal
While it is a great solution for removing Permanent Makeup Tattoo Ink, the laser is not the best option for pigments that have a yellow, red, or pink tone.
It will probably burn your natural brow hair, but not for good. The hair will grow back.
The price – it can be costly, especially if you need more sessions (Expect to pay between $150 - $400 a session depending on location
Hyperpigmentation (excessive color) and hypopigmentation (excessive fading) are possible side effects associated with the procedure. There is also a risk of infection and a small risk of permanent scarring as well. The skin may appear like it has been sunburned for a few months after the treatment, but this will eventually go away.
SALINE TATTOO REMOVAL
Saline Permanent Makeup Removal in Orange County
Saline permanent makeup removal works by gently lifting unwanted tattoo pigment through the surface of the skin. This technique uses a sea-salt–based chemical solution (ingredients vary by brand) deposited into the tattooed area with fine tattoo needles. The saline solution binds to the pigment and draws it upward as the skin heals, allowing unwanted ink to be expelled naturally through the surface.
One of the key benefits of saline eyebrow tattoo removal in Orange County is that natural brow hair remains intact. Unlike laser tattoo removal—which may singe, damage, or permanently affect hair growth—saline removal does not target melanin in the hair follicle, making it a safer option for brows.
Saline removal is widely considered gentler on the skin, producing less trauma and a lower risk of scar tissue when performed correctly. This makes it especially suitable for delicate facial areas such as the eyebrows.
At Microblading Los Angeles by Tinted Liquid, our saline permanent makeup removal procedure is designed to be less painful, more cost-effective, and skin-preserving when compared to many laser tattoo removal options. Treatments are performed using either a manual handheld pen or an electric device to gently open the pigmented skin. A professional removal serum or paste is then applied to lift the unwanted pigment.
As the area heals, the pigment is drawn to the surface and forms a protective scab. When the scab naturally sheds, the lifted pigment sheds with it—leaving the tattoo visibly lighter.
Clients seeking saline PMU removal in Orange County typically require three to four sessions to achieve their desired level of fading. While saline removal significantly lightens existing pigment, complete removal should not be expected. Once the skin has fully healed, the area may be safely re-tattooed, making this method ideal for brow corrections and cover-ups.
Pros of Saline Eyebrow Tattoo Removal
Color-agnostic: Effective on all pigment colors, including warm, cool, organic, inorganic, and hybrid inks
Fewer sessions compared to many laser protocols
More affordable than laser tattoo removal
Preserves brow hair and skin integrity
Lightens old pigment enough to create a fresh, new brow design
Cons of Saline Eyebrow Tattoo Removal
Doesn't fully remove tattoo ink
Moderate pain level (professional topical numbing is used)
Saline Removal
Emergency Removal
(Removal needs to happen within the first 48 hours of brows being done)
Emergency Permanent Makeup Removal in Orange County
Emergency permanent makeup removal is recommended when a client is immediately dissatisfied with the color, shape, placement, or technique of a newly performed procedure—most commonly following what is referred to as a botched microblading or permanent makeup application.
An experienced permanent makeup professional can carefully assess the fresh results and determine whether emergency saline removal is the most effective solution for achieving optimal healed outcomes. When performed correctly and within the appropriate time frame, emergency removal can significantly reduce unwanted pigment before it fully settles into the skin.
Emergency removals must be performed within 48 hours or less of the initial procedure. During this short window, the skin is still in an open healing phase, and the epidermal crust has not yet fully formed. Before this crust develops, the skin can accept and absorb a professional saline-based removal solution, allowing pigment to be lifted more effectively from the surface.
For emergency cases, a professional-grade solution such as Li-FT® Removal Solution may be used. This solution is specifically formulated for saline tattoo lightening and should only be applied by a licensed or permitted technician who has received proper training and certification in emergency and saline tattoo removal techniques.
Clients seeking emergency microblading removal in Orange County or Los Angeles should act quickly, as delaying treatment beyond the initial healing window may limit removal options and require alternative correction or lightening methods.
