•Avoid sleeping on your face during healing. 

•Do not apply any makeup on the area until fully healed. 

•Avoid excessive sun exposure. 

•The area will begin to flake/peel and appear lighter in color. A minimum of 8 weeks is required in between saline removal sessions.

How many sessions will I need? The number of sessions needed will depend on how much pigment is in the skin and the desired result. Most clients need a minimum of 3-4 sessions. If there is too much pigment in the skin or the skin is compromised in any way, you will be referred to a laser removal specialist.

How bad does it hurt? There will be slight discomfort and stinging during the service. Numbing products are used throughout the procedure to help alleviate any discomfort. If you are having this service performed during your menstrual cycle you may have increased discomfort. You may have some redness and irritation up to 72 hours after your procedure.

Can I wear makeup after having saline removal? Avoid wearing makeup on the area for at least 10-14 days after the procedure; or until fully healed.

What if I have an allergic reaction? If an allergic reaction occurs after the procedure you will be referred to your primary care physician for treatment. Patch tests are available to clients if they feel they may have an allergic reaction. Patch tests are required before a service if there is any type of skin condition near or around the area being treated such as psoriasis, eczema, etc. If these skin conditions are directly on the area then you are not a candidate.
