I tried to do skin camouflage to cover old microblading which did not work out. I then proceeded to do saline removal twice on the area, the second of which made my skin extremely red and pink. This is after about 3 months since the second saline removal. Also every time I shower the area becomes extremely red. I am not sure if the red/pink is from the oxidation or scarring. Please help.
Answer: Persistent Redness After Saline Tattoo Removal – What’s Going On? Thank you for sharing your experience — it’s understandable to feel concerned, especially when the skin doesn’t seem to be healing as expected after multiple attempts to correct microblading.

Answer: Saline needling The area to me looks like inflammation. I would use an over the counter topical steroid and give it a month or two longer. if it doesn't subside, probably seek the advise of a dermatologist in the area. Oxidation would NOT change with getting in a hot shower. This is due to increaser blood flow from an inflamed scar. The hypertonic/salt solution may still be causing some inflammation in the area. The longer you stay inflamed, generally the greater your risk of post inflammatory hyper pigmentation.

Answer: Recommend doing laser treatments like resurfx or Vbeam to help treat pigmentation and even out skin texture and tone. Our office has many different treatments for scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the visibility of the scars so that they are no longer visible in ambient light. Everyone has a unique pattern of scarring and we employ our HIDEF technique to improve texture, color, contour, and topography. We often use a combination of treatments that begin with a careful examination to examine the micro texturing of the acne scars. Atrophic scars and indented scars can benefit from injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with or without subcision to remove tethered scars and atrophic depression. Hyper-redness in scars can be improved with V beam laser, Excel V, BBL, IPL, and Venus RF to improve the redness and reduce the visibility of deep scars. Fractional Thulium laser and clear & brilliant can also reduce the inflammation and redness of the scar when combined with topical therapy. Fractional lasers such as Fraxel, erbium, and CO2 laser can be combined with radio frequency and also fractional RF to improve textual issues and microtopography. Subcision and TCA cross are also used for deep ice pick scars and narrow valley scars in order to improve the micro texture. Above all, our combination approach with our clinical nurses and board-certified plastic surgeons can improve the quality of your skin by using at home Melarase creams combined with PRP treatments in our office to improve your skin quality and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced team of experts in order to reduce your scarring.
