Lip Saline & Glycolic Tattoo Removal or Lip Correction
Our Lip Saline & Glycolic Removal treatments are designed specifically to lift and lighten unwanted lip tattoo pigment in a controlled and gradual way.
These methods use specialised solutions that are carefully implanted into the lips to help draw pigment toward the surface during the natural healing process.
How It Works
This means:
- A saline or glycolic-based solution is gently implanted into the lip tissue
- The solution interacts with pigment particles within the skin
- Through healing, pigment is lifted and gradually expelled from the lips
Saline vs Glycolic for Lip Tattoo Removal
- Saline Removal: Uses a salt-based solution to draw pigment out through osmosis
- Glycolic Removal: Uses a mild acid (AHA) to assist in breaking down pigment and encouraging skin renewal
Both methods are commonly used for:
- Lightening dark or oversaturated lip tattoo
- Removing unwanted tones or uneven colour
- Preparing the lips for future colour correction or re-tattooing
Important Considerations for Lip Removal
Lip tissue is delicate, so removal treatments must be approached carefully:
- Multiple sessions are usually required
- Temporary swelling, tenderness, and scabbing can occur
- Results vary depending on pigment type, depth, and previous treatments
- There is a risk of uneven fading or colour shifts (including warm or yellow tones)
Saline & Glycolic vs Laser Removal
✔ Saline & glycolic work at the surface level, lifting pigment through the healing process
✔ Laser works within the skin, breaking pigment down without surface trauma
