Frequently Asked Questions
Li-FT works on a theory of ‘Osmosis’ and the body’s natural healing process by lifting the old pigment up to the skin surface.
Both saline and laser are well-respected methods of removal. Both can be amazingly effective and provide the results you are hoping for. Saline and laser couldn’t be more different so how do you know which method would be best and most effective for you and your particular case? The information listed here will hopefully provide some insight and help you to choose the method of removal that will best suit your needs. Laser works by producing a short pulse of intense light that penetrates deep enough down into the skin, then is absorbed by the pigment. The intense light breaks up the pigment into tiny fragments. The laser pushes the tiny fragments back down, deeper into the body to be removed by the body’s lymph and waste system. Different laser wavelengths target specific colours at specific depths in the skin. It can take several laser wavelengths to remove a multi-coloured tattoo.
Due to the variables and restrictions of many lasers, it is important to do your research and pick the right laser for the tattoo you want removed. The healing process is about 7 to 10 days. With some lasers, you may experience blisters, if so that could prolong the healing process. Li-FT saline removal works by Osmosis. The high concentration of salt draws the water underneath and surrounding the pigment up to the surface of the skin to be contained and removed by the scab. So, whereas Laser pushes pigment back down into the body to be removed by the lymph and waste system, saline moves the pigment up and out of the skin via the scabbing process. Saline is not colour restricted and will remove all colours including white (titanium dioxide). Saline is also not depth specific, meaning it will target and start lifting pigment/ink no matter the depth that it resides. The healing process is about 7 to 10 days. Saline removal does not cause any blistering when aftercare followed correctly. Laser can permanently remove hair. Saline will not affect your hair at all. Tattooing skin after it has been lasered is often unsuccessful. Saline removal tends not to effect the skin or cause scarring if aftercare is followed correctly. Laser cannot be used on the lips. Li-FT saline solution is safe and effective in removing lip and eyeliner tattoos. Both laser and saline are relatively close in cost and require several sessions. Lasers can cover the surface area of a large tattoo much quicker and more efficiently than the Li-FT saline removal technique. Li-FT will take much longer to remove a large tattoo, therefore we only recommend Li-FT saline removal on permanent makeup and small body tattoos.
Those with unwanted permanent makeup or small body tattoos.
Pain is relative, however the procedure itself shouldn’t be unbearable. Laser is considered more painful than Li-FT.
