Tattoo Removal
If you regret ever getting that tattoo, you should know there are a number of ways that tattoo removal can be accomplished. The science of tattoo removal has progressed significantly in recent years. But there are several reasons why tattoos are difficult to remove too. Tattoo inks aren’t regulated for colour density, and the ink is pierced into the skin at different depths. The deeper the ink or darker the ink, the harder it is to remove. Colour also affects how the tattoo fades. Blue and black tattoos are the easiest to fully remove, while green and yellow tattoos are the hardest. It may take several sessions or several different types of treatments to remove your tattoo.
Treatment to remove a tattoo is not always successful. There are many ways to try and remove tattoos, including:
Laser surgery - Surgical lasers are used to break up the ink.
Fade away creams/rubs - a series of creams are used, causing a breakdown in the tattoo ink. The tattoo then becomes lighter and fades away in time.
Dermabrasion - a small sanding instrument removes the top middle layers of the skin, which contain the ink. Sometimes the area is frozen before dermabrasion, resulting in less bleeding.
Excision - Tattoo is cut from skin and the surrounding skin is sewn together.
