REMOVAL
Li-FT® is the most effective saline lightening solution on the market.
Brow Boutique offers tattoo removal training to both permanent makeup artists and tattoo artists that are already machine/device trained as well as beginners training for microblading artists or beauty therapists with no previous tattoo experience.
Saline solution is a common, effective approach to lightening tattoos. However, it is a slower process than other treatments, this method is popular because it is much safer than other removal procedures. This service is done using the same traditional equipment (machine, needles, etc) used in the tattooing process. However, instead of pigment, this saline solution is implanted into the skin.
