Specialty Procedure: Salt Tattoo Removal
1) The blue tattoo color began as 2 round filled areas but began to grow and harden, similar to a keloid, or large mole in texture, approximately 6 months after the tattoo. It was painful to the client, so removal was the desired treatment.
Note: red, green and brown pigments did not have the same reaction.
Bump #1 has red pigment radiating out. (Approximately 8cc across)
Bump #2 has a blue-green stem. (Approximately 5cc across)
2) Using a salt paste, the pigment was exfoliated from Bump #1 and #2.
3) Bump #1
Magnified, blue pigment is visibly exposed, and much was exfoliated.
4) Less than 1 day after, both the bumps and the pain were gone.
5) Bump #1
Magnified, more blue surfaced. During the healing process, the blue pigment continued to exfoliate.
6) Bump #2
7) Less than 2 months later, approximately 95% of the pigment was removed, and any remaining pigment particles are nearly invisible.
8) Bump #1
Under bright light and magnification, the skin is still healing, but the pain is completely gone.
9) Bump #2
10) Bump #1
The area has very little trauma, and expect to have little to no noticible scarring.
