Introduction
If you’re a permanent makeup removal artist or clinic owner researching microblading removal options, you’ve likely come across saline removal microblading — it’s widely marketed, easy to find training for, and seems straightforward.
But there’s a problem saline microblading removal can’t solve: it was never designed for the complexity of modern PMU pigments.
Magnetic Tattoo Removal was. And it was invented, patented, and perfected by the woman who understood that problem better than anyone else — Mrs. Linda Paradis.
This article explains exactly how microblading removal works, why the method you choose matters enormously, and why professionals in 50+ countries have switched to Magnetic Tattoo Removal as their go-to removal technique.
What Is Microblading and Why Is Removal So Difficult?
Microblading deposits pigment into the upper dermis using a manual blade. Unlike surface-level pigment, microblading ink sits deep enough to be permanent — but shallow enough to be unpredictable as it ages.
Over time, microblading pigment can:
- Turn grey, blue, or orange as the iron oxides oxidise
- Migrate unevenly across the brow line
- Build up in layers after multiple touch-ups
- Become resistant to fading from sun or skin renewal alone
This is why simply “letting it fade” rarely works. And it’s why the removal method must be precise, skin-safe, and effective on all pigment types — not just fresh or dark ink.
The Problem with saline tattoo removal for Microblading
Saline microblading removal works by a process called osmosis — a saltwater solution draws pigment fluid upward through the skin, which then crusts and sheds. It’s a well-known method, and for simple cases, it can produce results.
But saline has real limitations that professionals need to understand:
It relies on skin trauma. Saline must be tattooed into the skin aggressively enough to open channels. Multiple passes create more trauma — and more trauma means more risk of scarring, especially on the delicate facial skin around brows.
It struggles with colour variation. Saline removal is most effective on dark pigments. Brows that have turned grey, orange, or blue — a common problem after years of iron oxide oxidation — respond unpredictably to saline.
Healing is unpredictable. The thick wet scabbing associated with traditional saline methods increases the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), particularly on medium to dark skin tones.
It is not patented or FDA-regulated. Saline is a generic solution. There is no exclusive formulation, no worldwide patent, and no regulatory oversight specific to the removal application.
How Magnetic Tattoo Removal Works on Microblading
Magnetic Tattoo Removal (MTR) is a patented, non-invasive technique developed by Mrs. Linda Paradis. It uses a cascade of five simultaneous actions to extract pigment from the skin — without cutting, burning, or penetrating the dermis.
The 5-Action Cascade:
1. Physical & Mechanical Action Patented Non-Invasive Magnetic Needles (TR88®) move 90 degrees back and forth across the skin surface, gently exfoliating the stratum corneum — the outermost layer of dead skin cells — without breaking the skin barrier.
2. Thermal Action The needle movement raises the temperature of water molecules within the skin’s surface layer. This controlled micro-heat causes invisible evaporation, creating a natural vacuum effect that draws the E-Dermis solution deep into the dermis.
3. Ultrasonic Action High-frequency vibration from the magnetic needles disrupts the bonds holding tattoo ink particles in place, making them easier to extract.
4. Magnetic Action The needles carry a 300-Gauss magnetic charge. This powerful magnetic field interacts with the iron-based components of tattoo pigment — including iron oxides found in PMU pigments — pulling them toward the skin surface.
5. Chemical Action The E-Dermis Ink Extractor Solution (100% non-toxic, FDA-regulated) completes the process. It initiates a chemical reaction at the molecular level, causing pigment particles to break down and migrate upward through the skin’s natural regeneration cycle.
The result: pigment is extracted from the dermis — not burned, not destroyed by heat — without scarring, without penetrating the skin, and without trauma.

Why Skin Tone Matters — and Where MTR Wins
One of the most significant limitations of saline removal is its performance on medium and dark skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI). The trauma caused by tattooing saline into the skin can trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — dark patches that are often worse than the original pigment.
Magnetic Tattoo Removal does not cause this reaction. Because the technique is non-invasive and the E-Dermis solution is 100% non-toxic and non-acidic, the skin’s melanin production is not triggered into overdrive. MTR is safely used on all six Fitzpatrick skin phenotypes — fair, medium, dark, and Asian skin alike.
For clinics serving diverse clientele, this is not a minor advantage. It’s the difference between being able to serve your full client base or turning away the clients who need help most.
What Professionals Say
“I’ve been using the technique for 3 years now, and my customers are delighted with it, with zero consequences.” — Victoria E., PMU Artist, Paris, France
“Magnetic Tattoo Removal literally removed the ink out of my skin and my tattoos are almost gone now. I highly recommend it to everyone.” — Isabel S., Client
“The depth of information provided, the integrity of the process, and the results compared to traditional laser removal truly blew me away.” — Jessica S., PMU Artist, New York
Can MTR Handle Emergency Microblading Removal?
Yes — and this is one of the most powerful advantages of the technique.
Emergency removal refers to the removal of PMU pigment within 1 to 5 days of the original application, before the ink has fully settled into the dermis. This is critical for clients who immediately regret a microblading procedure — shape issues, colour mismatches, or technician error.
MTR is specifically designed to handle emergency cases. Because the technique works at the surface level and the E-Dermis solution responds to fresh pigment aggressively, results after emergency treatment are often dramatic — significant lightening in a single session.
After day 5, the procedure continues to work effectively, but it is no longer classified as emergency removal.
How Many Sessions Does Microblading Removal Take?
Results vary depending on:
- The age of the pigment
- The number of previous applications (layering)
- The pigment brand and colour composition
- The client’s skin type and regeneration rate
In general, clients see visible lightening after the first session. Most complete removal cases require 3–6 sessions, spaced according to the skin’s natural healing cycle.
Unlike laser — which can only target certain pigment colours — MTR works on every pigment type, including the grey, orange, and yellow tones that are laser-resistant and the most common complaint among microblading clients.

The Business Case for Adding MTR to Your Clinic
Microblading removal is one of the fastest-growing service requests in the PMU industry. Clients want corrections. They want results from previous work removed. And increasingly, they want it done without laser.
Adding Magnetic Tattoo Removal to your service menu means:
- A new high-ticket revenue stream — MTR treatments typically start at $300–$500 per session
- A recurring client relationship — multi-session removal plans = predictable monthly income
- A competitive edge — very few clinics offer non-laser, non-invasive, patented removal
- A premium brand position — being certified by the technique’s inventor sets you apart from any saline-trained competitor
The Course 1 investment of $1,500 is covered by your first 3 client sessions. From session 4 onward, your consumable cost per treatment is under $40.
Conclusion
Microblading removal doesn’t have to be harsh, unpredictable, or limited by skin tone. With Magnetic Tattoo Removal, the process is non-invasive, scientifically precise, and effective on every pigment type and every skin colour.
Saline removal has its place — but it was never designed for the demands of modern PMU correction. MTR was.
If you’re a professional looking to add the most advanced, patented removal technique in the world to your practice — or a client who wants to understand your safest options — Magnetic Tattoo Removal by Linda Paradis is the gold standard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can microblading be fully removed with Magnetic Tattoo Removal? Yes. Complete removal is achievable in most cases, typically over 3–6 sessions depending on pigment depth and layering.
Is Magnetic Tattoo Removal painful? Most clients describe a mild sensation — far less discomfort than laser or aggressive saline methods. No anaesthesia is required.
Does MTR work on all microblading pigment colours? Yes — including grey, blue, orange, yellow, and white (titanium-based) pigments that are notoriously difficult to remove with other methods.
Can I retattoo the area after Magnetic Tattoo Removal? Yes, once the skin has fully healed. The technique actually improves skin quality, creating better conditions for future PMU work.
How is MTR different from saline removal? MTR is non-invasive — the skin is never broken or penetrated. Saline must be tattooed into the skin. MTR carries no scarring risk and is effective on all skin tones and pigment colours.
