Saline Tattoo Removal in Latham, NY
Urbane Beauty Co. offers laserless tattoo removal services from highly trained professionals in Latham, NY that will leave your skin a fresh, blank slate.
What is Saline Tattoo Removal?
Saline tattoo removal is a non-laser treatment designed to lighten and remove unwanted tattoo pigment. Depending on the tattoo and desired outcome, it can be used to fade pigment, correct unwanted areas, or work toward more complete removal over a series of treatments.
At Urbane Beauty Co. in Latham, NY, our trained professionals carefully introduce a specialized saline solution into the tattooed area using a cosmetic tattooing technique. The solution works with the skin’s natural healing process to help lift pigment toward the surface, allowing it to gradually fade as the area heals.
Because every tattoo responds differently, your removal plan is personalized based on the pigment, depth, age of the tattoo, skin, and your desired outcome. Multiple sessions are typically needed, particularly when the goal is significant fading or removal.

Post-Appointment Care
Careful after-care is very important for producing a beautiful and lasting result.
- KEEP AREA CLEAN and open to the air. Do not cover with a Band-Aid or anything else, leave open to air. Air/oxygen provides good and faster healing. You should not be touching the area at all but if you find yourself needing to please make sure your hands are exceptionally clean.
- DO NOT SOAK the treated area in water. You can shower as normal but keep the area out of the shower spray the best you can and do not let the area stay wet for more than a few minutes.
- NO BATHING, SWIMMING, SAUNAS, HOT TOBS, TANNING, OR INTENSE EXERCISE.
- DO NOT disrupt the scabbing process (i.e. no picking, scratching, etc.) All scabbing needs to fall off naturally. If you force or pick a scab off you will disrupt the process and possibly cause scarring.
- TREAT AREA WITH TLC. DO NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL THAT COULD CAUSE ISSUE OR PROBLEMS TO THE TREATED AREA.
- ONCE ALL SCABBING HAS NATURALLY FALLEN OFF, apply thin layer of ointment provided) 2 times throughout the day for a minimum of 4 weeks, or until next lightening session. DO NOT start applying the ointment UNTIL all scabbing has completely fallen off. It is our goal to keep the area as dry as possible until all scabs have naturally fallen off.
