Treatment
Cosmetic Tattoo Removal
A careful saline approach to lifting unwanted or outdated facial cosmetic pigment.
Cosmetic tattoo removal for brows, lips, and eyeliner is performed using a saline-based technique designed to gradually lift unwanted facial pigment from the skin. It is suitable for faded, poorly placed, or unwanted cosmetic tattoo work, whether you are seeking correction, a redesign, or simply a return to a more natural baseline. Laser tattoo removal is also available for non-facial tattoos.
Who it suits
Clients seeking a fresh redesign, those correcting an old result that no longer reflects current standards or their preferences, and anyone who wants to return to a more natural look. It is also an option for those who have moved to Melbourne from elsewhere and wish to update older cosmetic tattooing.
The approach
Each saline removal session is measured and careful, prioritising the health and integrity of your skin throughout the process. The number of sessions required varies depending on the depth, age, and colour of the existing pigment — this is assessed at your initial consultation. If you are enquiring about a non-facial body tattoo, laser removal can also be discussed separately.
Session spacing
Sessions are spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow the skin to recover fully between treatments. Attempting to rush the process can affect results and skin health.
After removal
Depending on how much pigment has faded, fresh cosmetic tattooing can often be discussed and booked after a series of removal sessions. This is assessed individually at each consultation.
