Tattoo Removal Procedures … You get the ultimatum, tattoo removal or else…so after all these years you want (or need) go get rid of that sexy lady that has been on your arm. Your wife, possibly girl friend just can’t stand having an other women’s name on your arm, even though it’s a masterpiece of workmanship!
Guess what? You’re not alone. It’s estimated that 1 out of every 2 individuals that have tattoos will want the tattoo removal services of their local dermatological surgeon at some time in their lifetime.
The art of tattoo removal is almost as old as the art of tattooing. Tattoo removal is, ironically, one of the fastest growing sectors of the tattoo industry in the US. The reasons people want their tattoos removed are varied. Do you know that it is possible to develop allergic reaction to a tattoo years after the tattoo application which may necessitate tattoo removal? How your tattoo is applied, and by who - professional or self applied, may determine the techniques for removal. Professionally applied tattoos are usually more uniformly applied at a consistent depth and in deeper layers of the skin. Home applied tattoos on the other hand are uneven and of inconsistent depth. This may actually determine which procedure is used for your tattoo removal.

I’ll describe all the possibilities for tattoo removal with some commentary about each.
Tattoo Removal Kits
Fade away methods are the newest development in Tattoo Removal. This method normally involves a series of creams/rubs that are absorbed into the skin. The series, used in combination, causes a reaction that breaks down the components of the ink, which the body then disposes. This procedure essentially speeds up your body’s natural process of ridding your body of a foreign object –in this case it is ink. With time the tattoo becomes lighter and lighter, thus the tattoo “fades away.”
This perhaps is the cheapest and least painful removal method. This is the only method that does not have a risk of scarring. However, it is does take some patience. Results are not seen overnight. This procedure IS effective and less costly than lasers.
