Saline Removal: How To Prepare & Aftercare

Aftercare Instructions

• Keep the area clean and dry for the first 48 hours
• Avoid touching, picking, or scratching the area
• Do not apply makeup on the area until fully healed
• Avoid sweating, workouts, swimming, saunas, and steam for 7–10 days
• Avoid direct sun exposure
• Do not apply any products unless instructed

The Healing Process

• Days 1–3: Area may appear red, swollen, and slightly tender
• Days 3–7: Scabbing will form — this is a normal part of the process
• Days 7–14: Scabs will begin to naturally fall off
• Weeks 2–6: Skin continues to heal and lighten

Do not pick scabs — this can affect results and cause scarring.

How to Maintain Your Results

Saline removal is a gradual process and may require multiple sessions.

• Allow full healing (6–8 weeks) before your next session
• Avoid sun exposure to prevent pigmentation issues
• Keep the area clean and protected during healing
• Follow all aftercare instructions carefully for best results
