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. Now open for early enrollment. A one-time fee locks in your spot, gives you a full year of access once the course goes live, and direct support from Billy.

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.
