Saline & Emergency Tattoo Removal
At Erase Laser Studio, we offer professional saline tattoo removal for cosmetic tattoos, small tattoos, and situations where laser may not be the best option.
This non-laser method works by lifting pigment from the skin using a specialised saline solution. It can be used to lighten, correct, or fully remove unwanted pigment, particularly in delicate areas such as cosmetic brows.
Saline removal is also the only safe solution for emergency tattoo removal, where fresh pigment needs to be lifted quickly after a treatment.
Whether you're looking to correct a cosmetic tattoo, remove unwanted pigment, or need urgent assistance after a recent treatment, our Morrinsville clinic provides safe and professional care tailored to your skin.
Emergency Tattoo Removal (24–48 Hours)
If you've recently had cosmetic tattooing or microblading and are unhappy with the result, emergency saline removal can help lift fresh pigment before it settles into the skin.
This treatment must be performed within 24–48 hours of the original tattoo procedure, while the pigment is still close to the surface.
Acting quickly can significantly reduce the amount of pigment that remains in the skin and may make future correction much easier.

Emergency Tattoo Removal (24–48 Hours)
If you’ve recently had cosmetic tattooing or microblading and are unhappy with the result, emergency saline removal can help lift pigment before it fully settles into the skin.
This treatment must be performed within 24–48 hours of the original procedure while the pigment is still near the surface. Acting quickly can reduce how much pigment remains and may make any future correction easier.
Cosmetic Tattoo Removal
Saline tattoo removal is commonly used to remove or lighten cosmetic tattoos such as brows, lip liner & eyeliner.
The saline solution helps lift pigment through the skin during the healing process, making it a suitable option for delicate facial areas where precise correction is required. Several sessions may be needed depending on the pigment type and depth.
Tattoo Correction & Lightening
Saline removal can also be used to lighten or refine existing cosmetic tattoos before correction work.
This may include softening heavy brows, correcting uneven pigment, or removing small sections of colour.
Lightening pigment often allows artists to create a more balanced shape or improved final result with future treatments.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly do I need emergency tattoo removal?
Emergency saline removal should be performed within 24–48 hours of the original tattoo procedure.
During this time the pigment is still closer to the surface of the skin, which allows the saline solution to lift some of the ink before it fully heals.
How many saline removal sessions will I need?
The number of treatments varies depending on the pigment used, depth of the tattoo, and your desired result.
Lightening treatments may require 1–3 sessions, while full removal can take several treatments spaced around 8 weeks apart.
Is saline tattoo removal safe for cosmetic tattoos?
Yes. Saline removal is widely used for cosmetic tattoos because it allows controlled pigment lifting in delicate areas such as the eyebrows or lips.
During your consultation we will assess your tattoo and recommend the safest and most effective treatment approach.
