Tattoos can be a meaningful and beautiful way to express yourself, but buyer's regret is real. You may have gotten a tattoo on the spur of the moment or with someone no longer part of your life, and now you wish the tattoo would disappear. Laser tattoo removal is not the only reliable way to remove tattoos, but it works the best. In fact, according to GoodRx health, lasers are the safest, most effective tool to remove unwanted tattoos with. Read on to find out more.
Such services can range from tattoo fading creams to tattoo extraction, abrasion, and even tattoo excision. Tattoo-fading creams are topical treatments that use plant-based ingredients like aloe vera or cucumber extract to lighten the appearance of tattoo ink. Tattoo extraction uses a tattoo gun to pull tattoo ink out of the skin, and tattoo abrasion involves manually rubbing tattoo ink off the skin for a gradual lightening effect. Lastly, tattoo excision is a surgical procedure that removes all tattoo pigment from the skin with one treatment.
Laser tattoo removal involves the use of a laser designed specifically to target ink without affecting the skin. As the laser is guided over the tattoo, it penetrates the epidermis and dermis, finding and fracturing the pigmentation that makes up the tattoo. This treatment is both safe and effective when done correctly.
The pros of tattoo removal services are that they're non-invasive and often less painful than laser tattoo removal. Tattoo fading creams can also be used over a longer period to gradually lighten the tattoo without causing discomfort or damage to the skin. However, these removal services may be unsuccessful in removing all tattoo ink and can leave the tattoo looking patchy. It also takes longer to see results with tattoo removal services than with laser tattoo removal.
It's important to keep realistic expectations when using various removal options. It typically takes two or three weeks after your first treatment to start seeing a difference, and it can take 8 -12 treatments to get the full result. These removal options vary in their ability to fully remove ink, so you may find that some tattoo ink remains even if you go through all treatments.
Tattoo regret can be a difficult thing to live with, but professional removal services are here to help. If you're ready to clear your skin of an unwanted tattoo design, contact our local team for help today.
