Online Saline Removal Course
Master saline PMU removal
A self-paced online training course on manual saline removal for permanent makeup, taught by Billy DeCola. It is coming soon to Studio Kiku Academy, with a full year of access and direct support from Billy once it goes live.
Why this course
Built for technicians offering PMU correction.
Saline removal is the right tool for pigments that don't respond to laser, most often resistant permanent makeup. This course covers when to use it, how it works, and the technique that produces predictable fading without unnecessary trauma to the skin.
You'll learn the mechanics behind every session, watch live demonstrations start to finish, and walk away with a clear protocol you can apply to your own clients.
