Brow Tattoo Correction & Saline Removal Sunshine Coast
Specialised solutions for old, faded or unwanted cosmetic cosmetic tattooing
You don’t have to stay stuck with brows you’re unhappy with
Old or poorly healed brow tattooing can leave you feeling self-conscious, particularly when the shape no longer suits you or the colour has faded to red, orange, grey, blue or another unwanted shade.
The good news is that previous tattooing doesn’t always need to be completely removed. Depending on the colour, shape and amount of pigment remaining, we may be able to correct it, lighten selected areas or create a plan for new brows.
At Signature Cosmetic & Beauty, we’ll assess your existing tattooing and explain the most realistic way forward for the best long term results.
Can my old brow tattooing be fixed?
You may benefit from a correction or removal assessment if:
Your brows have faded to an unwanted colour
The shape is uneven or no longer suits your face
Your tattooing looks too dark, heavy or harsh
Pigment sits outside your desired brow shape
Previous tattooing is preventing you from having new brows
You are unhappy with recently completed cosmetic tattooing
You have been told your old brows can simply be covered with more pigment
You simply have changed your style and your brows no longer align with you anymore
Adding more pigment is not always the right answer. If your brows are already heavily saturated, attempting to cover them may make them appear darker and can affect how well a colour correction heals.
We assess what is already in the skin before recommending any further tattooing.
Which treatment do I need?
You don’t need to work this out yourself.
During your consultation, we assess the colour, shape, depth and saturation of your existing pigment, along with the condition of your skin and what you would ultimately like your brows to look like.
Your personalised plan may include colour correction, saline lightening, removal or referral for laser treatment.
Correction and Removal treatment options
Unhappy with cosmetic tattooing completed within the past 48 hours?
Emergency saline removal may help reduce the amount of fresh pigment retained in the skin when performed soon after an unwanted cosmetic tattoo treatment.
Because timing is important, please contact us as soon as possible.
Emergency removal help pigment fall out during the healing process of your tattoo. There is no guarantee all pigment will be removed, but acting quickly can help reduce the amount that remains after healing significantly.
Emergency removal Session $150
For brows that have faded to an unwanted colour
Colour correction uses carefully selected modifier pigments to help neutralise unwanted tones such as red, orange, grey, blue, green or purple.
This option may be suitable when you are happy with the general shape of your brows and there is enough room in the skin to safely add corrective pigment.
If your existing tattooing is too dark or saturated, correction alone may not heal successfully. In this case, we may recommend lightening the pigment before attempting to correct or recreate your brows.
Colour Correction Session $299
For brows that are too dark, saturated, uneven or outside the desired shape
Saline removal is a non-laser method used to lighten unwanted cosmetic tattoo pigment by implanting a saline removal solution into the tattooed area to encourage pigment to lift towards the surface as the skin heals.
In many cases, complete removal isn’t necessary. We may only need to lighten the existing pigment enough to create a softer shape or prepare your skin for new brow tattooing.
Results vary depending on the age, colour, depth and saturation of the pigment.
Saline Removal Sessions $200
For pigment that may respond more effectively to laser treatment
If we believe laser removal is likely to achieve a quicker, safer or more effective result for your particular tattooing, we’ll explain why and refer you to an experienced laser technician on the Sunshine Coast.
We can continue to monitor your progress and let you know when the pigment has lightened sufficiently for correction or new tattooing.
In many cases both laser and saline work well together to complement the removal process.

Do I need a colour correction or removal
This will depend on how dark and saturated with colour your brows are. If you have too much colour in your skin a colour correction will not hold after the healing process. Instead you will need to opt for removal sessions first to lighten some of the pigment. We suggest to book a consultation first so we can assess your brows & determine which treatment option will be best for you.
Am I A Candidate for Saline Tattoo Removal?
The great thing about saline tattoo removal is that it can be used on all skin types, colours and tones unlike laser treatments that cannot treat all pigment colours. While all skin types can be treated with saline tattoo removal, there are still a number of factors to consider before undergoing treatment.
Depending on the age, type of ink colour and how saturated the tattoo is, it is likely your removal will require multiple sessions. Pigment removal can be a long process as you need to wait 8 weeks in between sessions. If you are wanting to get your tattoo redone then we generally do not need to remove all pigment in your skin meaning you might only need a couple of sessions of lightening.
Will I benefit from saline removal or laser removal?
We work closely with an experienced laser technician on the Sunshine Coast. When having a consultation with us we will assess your current cosmetic tattoo and discuss what your expectations and future goals are. Based on this information, we will then determine whether we think you will benefit more from saline or laser removal. If we believe you will get quicker or better results with laser removal we will refer you to the laser technician for your sessions. During this time, we will still keep an eye on your process to let you know when you have reached a stage we can then redo your tattooing.
Does saline removal hurt?
Compared to laser tattoo removal this technique is much more comfortable. Ideally the procedure is not painful and feels very similar to having cosmetic tattooing done due to the similarity in technique. We do recommend for you to pre-numb the area before your appointment, which we can help you organise so you feel as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure.
What is the healing process like?
During and after the procedure you may see a small amount of bleeding and lymphatic fluid necessary for creating a scab. This healing process is important as the scab will contain the pigment that has been pushed to the service during the procedure. During this flaking period, it is important to keep the area dry, no creams are to be applied and you should let these scabs fall off naturally.
