Saline PMU removal is a gentle, natural method for lightening or removing permanent makeup by lifting the pigment out of the skin. A salt-based solution is implanted using a PMU machine, and through osmosis it draws the pigment toward the surface, where it becomes trapped in a small scab during healing. As the scab naturally falls away, some of the pigment is lifted with it. Discomfort is similar to the original procedure, and this treatment is especially suitable for sensitive areas such as the face. Multiple sessions may be needed depending on the depth and density of the pigment.
