About Magnetic Tattoo Removal®
Answers on the science, training pathways, certification, and enrollment behind the world's only patented Magnetic Tattoo Removal® technique.
The Technique
Magnetic Tattoo Removal® is a patented, non-invasive technique developed to remove unwanted tattoos — including microblading, permanent makeup, and body and scalp tattoos. The protocol combines a patented 300-gauss magnetic needle with a specialized, cosmetic-grade extraction solution to draw ink out through the skin's natural pathways, without causing thermal damage and while minimizing scarring.
Magnetic Tattoo Removal® was invented by Linda Paradis, who holds worldwide patents across 12+ jurisdictions — including the United States (granted by the USPTO), China, Russia, Hong Kong, India, Vietnam, Europe, Japan, the UK, Israel, and Turkey. The patents cover both the original non-invasive needle design and its evolution into the current magnetic needle system.
All magnetic tattoo removal needles are designed with patented magnetic cartridge technology, ensuring precision and safety.
A piece of metal is attached at the edge of each needles to keep the needles always highly magnetized
- Non-Invasive Magnetic Needles 52 - Strongly magnetized: 52 Magnetic Needles are used for lines tattoos. Thin Eyeliners, body tattoo text or small tattoo lines design.
- Non-Invasive Magnetic Needles 88 - Strongly magnetized: Specifically designed to be used for Body shading Tattoo Removal. With a zero-resistance design, these needles are both safe and effective.
- Non-Invasive Magnetic Needles 132 - Strongly magnetized: The 132 Magnetic Needles are specifically designed for a range of applications including microblading, migration of eyeliner removal, permanent makeup removal, for thick lips contour, removal and full lips tattoo removal. These needles are also perfectly suited for specialized techniques such as Detox Lips, Detox brows, Snow Lips, Magnetic Boost Brows, Rejuvenating Lips, and Enlightening. Lips With a zero-resistance design , These needles are both safe and effective. As with our other needle types, the 132 needles feature patented magnetic cartridge technology for a seamless and safe removal process.
Yes. Every needle is sterilized during manufacturing and designed for single use only, to be disposed of under proper hygienic conditions after each treatment. Packaging clearly states single-use instructions, and practitioners are trained to follow this protocol as part of certification.
The E-Dermis Ink Extractor Solution has been used globally for over twenty years, with its formulation continuously refined by a laboratory based in New York. It is a cosmetic-grade product, manufactured in the USA and formulated specifically for use alongside the patented magnetic needle system.
The formulation is built from established cosmetic-industry ingredients, including:
- Distilled water — base solvent
- Propanol — cosmetic preservative
- Magnesium oxide — viscosity control
- Centella asiatica extract — antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging
- Methyl p-Hydroxybenzoate — preservative, antibacterial
- Zinc oxide — cosmetic pigment base
- Pentylene glycol — stabilizer and texture improver
- Calcium thioglycolate — used widely in personal care formulations
This is a common question. The FDA regulates food, drugs, and medical devices — cosmetic products like ours are not subject to FDA premarket approval in the same way as drugs or medical devices. Our Ink Extractor Solution is a USA-manufactured cosmetic product, and Magnetic Tattoo Removal® is a professional cosmetic procedure performed using our patented system by trained, certified practitioners.
No. Despite involving a needle, the technique is classified as non-invasive — the needle glides across the dermal layer without penetrating the skin's surface, consistent with the original non-invasive needle patent.
No numbing agents or anesthesia are used. Practitioners are trained in a manual, pressure-based numbing technique instead, since chemical numbing can cause vasodilation or vasoconstriction that interferes with treatment. Most clients describe minimal discomfort compared with laser or acid-based removal methods; sensitivity varies by individual.
Safety & Suitability
Yes. The technique is designed to be effective across organic, inorganic, plant-based, and mineral pigments — including colors that are historically difficult to treat with lasers, such as white, blue, and green — and across all skin phenotypes (Asian, fair, medium, and dark).
As with most aesthetic procedures, Magnetic Tattoo Removal® is not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, individuals undergoing chemotherapy or radiotherapy, immunocompromised individuals, or those with advanced diabetes — unless explicit medical consent has been given. Practitioners are trained to screen for these conditions during consultation.
The technique is designed to work without thermal damage to the skin, and scarring is minimized when the post-care protocol is followed correctly. The primary risk associated with treatment is a slower healing process if aftercare instructions aren't followed. Individual results and healing times vary.
Yes. The technique is effective on tattoos of any age, including older or previously faded ink, and can also be used on skin that has undergone prior laser, acid (TCA), or saline removal attempts — in these cases it can also help address residual scarring from the earlier treatment. Older or denser tattoos may require additional sessions.
Specialized Applications
Yes — the technique is suitable for the thin, sensitive membrane tissue of the lips, an area many other removal methods can't safely treat.
Yes, including cases where scalp micropigmentation was applied over FUE or FUT hair-transplant scars.
Yes, once the skin has fully healed after your sessions. Because the technique doesn't damage the epidermis or dermis, the skin remains suitable for a new cosmetic tattoo once healing is complete.
Yes. During microblading, cosmetic tattooing, or body/scalp tattoo work, a design error can be corrected on the spot using a micro-brush with the extraction solution, with results visible after about a week. A full emergency removal on tattoos less than 5 days old is also possible and can be actioned promptly.
Sessions & Aftercare
There's no fixed number — it depends on the age, depth, and density of the pigment, the type of ink used, the client's skin and immune profile, and any prior treatment history. Some tattoos clear in a few sessions; more complex or older work can take 8 or more.
Downtime is generally the shortest among removal methods:
- Lips: 2–3 weeks
- Eyebrows: 3–4 weeks
- Body & scalp: 4–5 weeks
Mild redness and light swelling are common and typically resolve within a day, and most clients can resume normal activity right away — including showering, work, and light exercise. Makeup should be avoided on the treated area for about 10 days, along with sun exposure and swimming. A specific aftercare protocol applies depending on treatment type; your certified trainer will walk you through it.
Training & Eligibility
Linda Paradis Group offers three certification pathways, each delivered through premium video lessons, a full protocol walkthrough, and a skills assessment:
- Course 1 — PMU & Microblading Removal
- Course 2 — Body Tattoo Removal
- Course 3 — Holistic Certification
Magnetic Tattoo Removal® training is best suited to permanent makeup, tattoo, and aesthetic professionals with existing machine experience — including laser technicians, dermatologists, and nurses. Candidates with little or no prior experience are also welcome; in these cases, we recommend a mandatory live hands-on session for hands-on calibration before treating clients. Reach out to a Human Advisor and we'll confirm the right entry point for your background.
Training is fully online and self-paced, so you can study from anywhere in the world on your own schedule. Every course includes 30+ lesson videos, 20+ live demonstration videos, a Mega Quiz assessment, and skills evaluation. Students who want live supervision can add a guided practical session with Linda Paradis, the inventor and Master Trainer of the technique, who demonstrates the complete procedure on a model and provides real-time correction and feedback.
Course 2 (Body Tattoo Removal) is an advanced-level course designed for professionals who already have at least 1 year of experience treating body tattoos using other removal techniques — such as laser, saline, or other established methods. If you meet this experience requirement, you may enroll directly in Course 2. If you're new to body tattoo removal, we recommend completing Course 1 (PMU & Microblading Removal) first, to learn the Magnetic Tattoo Removal® protocol before progressing to body tattoos.
To enroll directly in Course 2, you'll need to submit proof of your 1+ years of experience — a copy of your relevant certification(s) and a link to your professional social media portfolio — for review before enrollment is confirmed.
Important: Course 2 is an advanced course. Enrolling without the recommended experience or prerequisites means you accept full professional responsibility for any treatments you perform.
