Things To Consider When Planning To Remove Your Tattoo

By Ana Thomson


Unlike before, people with tattoos nowadays no longer have to worry about removing them when they want to. Tattoo removal is a great option for those who want to get rid of their colorful body designs.

There are some reasons why you would have to remove your tattoo. But regardless of the reason, there are several options available for you that will address your concern in a safe and effective way.

One example is the laser tattoo removal method that uses a laser in penetrating the ink and breaking it down. It typically necessitates eight to ten sessions for average sized tattoos, but those with more colors and greater size may take longer. You may feel some pain but not something that you cannot bear. Similarly, you may choose the use of intense pulsed light technology. Laser and IPL applications are the same in many ways, except that IPL utilizes a more intense light to burn the ink.

One of the greatest things about using laser to remove a tattoo is that it results in minimized skin scarring, or sometimes none at all, on the affected and surrounding areas. This is because the process is done by applying and controlling intense laser beams directly to the tattooed part of the skin. These laser beams break up the ink without having to damage or scrape off the layer of the skin.

With laser tattoo removal method, the surgeon or dermatologist is cautious in determining the right width of the laser beam as well as the light's wavelength (color). The wavelengths utilized vary according to the color of the ink that needs to be destroyed.

Dermabrasion is another option to be explored, though this may prove to be more painful than laser or IPL procedures. With this method, a "sanding" process is done to scrape off the skin layer that has the tattoo and to let the skin heal and grow again. This, however, is not the most advisable method to use because it can cause unwanted scarring.

Removing a tattoo may require money, time and effort. But because it is something you really need to do, it is best that you optimize your time and resources by finding the best treatment method that works for you.
