LI-FT tattoo removal is a non-laser tattoo removal technique that uses a saline-based solution to fade or remove unwanted tattoos. It stands for "Lifted Ink-Feather Touch" and is an alternative to laser tattoo removal.
LI-FT tattoo removal involves the application of a specialized saline solution to the tattooed area. The solution is composed of a high concentration of salt, along with other ingredients such as purified water and a thickening agent.
The solution is tattooed into the skin using a tattoo machine or a manual tool, similar to the process of getting a tattoo. The saline solution works by drawing the tattoo ink to the surface of the skin, where it forms a scab.​
This process is often repeated multiple times, spaced several weeks apart, to achieve the desired level of tattoo fading or removal. The number of sessions required can vary depending on factors such as the size, color, and depth of the tattoo.
The precedure is 1 hour 30 minutes, not including the initial consultation.
LI-FT tattoo removal is generally considered less painful than laser tattoo removal. However, the process can still cause some discomfort, similar to the sensation of getting a tattoo. Topical anesthetics may be applied to the skin prior to the procedure to minimise any potential discomfort.
It's important to note that LI-FT tattoo removal may not completely remove all traces of the tattoo. Some residual ink or ghosting may remain, especially for heavily saturated or multi-layered tattoos. In such cases, additional sessions or alternative tattoo removal methods may be recommended.
If you are considering LI-FT tattoo removal, it is crucial to have a consultation. During your consultation, I can assess your brows, discuss your goals and expectations, and determine if LI-FT is a suitable option for you.
