Tattoo Removal and Camouflage
Do you have a tattoo you want removed ?
A tattoo you are tired of? Embarrassing? Need it
removed for a job ? Currently that are several means of
correcting unwanted tattoo. No method is guaranteed, and
each method has its own pros and cons.
Tattoo Removal without lasers has its
drawbacks which include incomplete removal, hypertrophic
scarring, tattoo color alteration. Old methods of tattoo
removal included the use of caustic substances to peel or
bleach. The side effects include scarring and skin pigment
alterations.
Laser Tattoo Removal-Laser tattoo removal works for black
ink. It is not a guaranteed method and often leaves
bluish-green residual tattoo behind. This method takes
anywhere from 3-10 visits, usually costs an average of $300 per
visit. Keloid scarring is possible which may result in a
tattoo being removed but being replaced with a large scar. If a
large keloid scar is left, sometimes surgical repair is then
necessary. Ask your laser specialist for pictures of
previous tattoo removals similar to yours. Laser tattoo
removal works less efficiently for colored inks, and it doesn't
work for inks with white pigment in their base. Simply
looking at a pigment may not tell the person if they have white
pigment in the base. White based pigments will sometimes
turn black with laser exposure.
