How does saline tattoo lightening / removal work?

Li-FT saline tattoo removal solution is tattooed into the area of the unwanted permanent makeup, microblading or body tattoo using conventional tattoo methods. Li-FT is a hypertonic solution containing a higher amount of salt than the body contains....this enacts the process of Osmosis and moves the pigment upwards to the outer surface of the skin and then removed by the skins natural healing process.
