HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?Microblading is considered a semi-permanent procedure, and the results usually last between one and three years. The pigment gradually fades over time as the skin exfoliates and regenerates. Micropigmentation such as Ombre brows, on the other hand, tends to last longer, with results lasting up to five years. However, the longevity of both techniques can vary depending on factors such as skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SALINE TATTOO REMOVAL OVER LASER REMOVAL?Both saline and laser are well-respected methods of removal. Both can be amazingly effective and provide the results you are hoping for. However, more and more artists are offering salt-saline removal and customers are preferring it for the following reasons: 1. It is considered less invasive than methods such as laser. 2. Some lightening solutions contain all-natural ingredients which are appealing to clients who want to avoid using harmful chemicals or strong lasers on their skin. Laser cannot be used around the eyes or on the lips. Saline solution is safe and effective in removing poorly done eyeliner or lip tattoos. 3. Laser can permanently remove brow hair. Saline will not affect your eyebrow hair at all. 4. Both the healing process is about 7 to 10 days. Saline removal does not cause any blistering. With some lasers, you may experience blisters, if so, that could prolong the healing process. 5. Laser notoriously does not remove white (titanium dioxide) or will turn it black or gray after procedure, however Saline removal does not recognize color but rather pigment uniformly so it can be highly effective in removing all colors including white. Saline not only is effective in removing titanium or pigments containing titanium…it can also lighten and remove titanium that has been hit by laser and oxidized. 6. Tattooing skin after it has been lasered is often unsuccessful. Saline removal tends not to affect the skin in this way if proper techniques are applied. 7. This technique is usually more cost effective for both the client and artist.
