Why use laser therapy or surgical excision when you can eliminate a tattoo with some tattoo removal cream? The market has recently been flooded by a huge number of topical products that claim to remove tattoos, but their efficiency is truly limited. The tattoo pigment is usually located below the superficial skin layer which prevents it from wearing off with the exfoliation of the dead skin cells. This is the reason why so many tattoos are considered permanent.

Forced chemical exfoliation is the process based on which a tattoo removal cream acts, because it has to go deep in the skin to break the color pigment. Discomfort and side effects sometimes accompany the use of a tattoo removal cream, since topical removal products rely on acid as a main ingredient. Itching and tingling are normal in the area where you apply the tattoo removal cream, but symptoms alleviation is possible by the application of a soothing balm.

The ointment can be more easily spread on the skin if you use a massager, but not all kits contain such an accessory. As compared to finger-rubbing the cream, the application with a massager is considered superior. Results usually become visible within six weeks from the beginning of the treatment, but for advanced removal you need to apply the tattoo removal cream for at least six months.

As for efficiency ratings, lots of products are reviewed as completely useless. Efficiency at this level only consists of a fading of the tattoo, which could make it easier to mask. Then, it is also important to carefully choose the product to apply on the skin, because it should carry an FDA certification as proof of its safety. Deep tissue damage, allergies, rashes and even scars could result from the use of some low quality chemical.

Read the list of ingredients of any tattoo removal cream that claims to contain botanic ingredients. Orange peel, aloe vera and rosemary leaf are common examples of natural ingredients used by some manufacturers. Thanks to this composition, one can expect fewer side effect, better skin tolerance and improved results.

Why use laser therapy or surgical excision when you can eliminate a tattoo with some tattoo removal cream? The market has recently been flooded by a huge number of topical products that claim to remove tattoos, but their efficiency is truly limited. First of all, you need to think of skin structure; if the pigment would be injected in the superficial skin layers, it would wear off in time, peeling together with the dead skin cells. Yet, this is not the case, and most tattoos are made at the level of the deep dermal layers where they become permanent.

A tattoo removal cream exposes the skin to an advanced level of chemical exfoliation, meaning that it interacts with the skin structure in the attempt to break up the tattoo ink. Discomfort and side effects sometimes accompany the use of a tattoo removal cream, and this usually happens because the main ingredient of such products is a form of acid. Tingling and itching usually affect the area where you apply the tattoo removal cream, but symptoms alleviation is possible by the application of a soothing balm.

If the tattoo removal cream comes with a kit, it will most certainly contain a massager or some small item to help you spread the ointment evenly. This type of application is considered superior to rubbing the cream in the skin with the fingers. A tattoo removal cream will start to show results within six weeks from the beginning of the treatment, but depending on the complexity of the tattoo, it may take up to six months before the ink is broken.

As for efficiency ratings, lots of products are reviewed as completely useless. By efficiency, most products in fact mean that the tattoo slightly wears off. Then, it is also important to carefully choose the product to apply on the skin, because it should carry an FDA certification as proof of its safety. Scars, rashes, allergies and deep tissue damage could follow the irrational use of some topical tattoo removal cream.

Some products are advertised as natural, meaning that they also contain some organic herbal extracts. Rosemary leaf, aloe vera and orange peel extract are sometimes used in combination with a chemical peeling agent for a good breaking impact of the tattoo ink and the protection of the dermal tissues. Such a tattoo removal cream will have very few side effects and a lower toxicity.

”Why did I ever put Amber’s name on my chest?” While the name or body area may be different, there is no doubt countless men have asked themselves that same question. It seemed like a terrific idea at the time but now, it’s not only an embarrassment but the new girlfriend isn’t going to stand for it.

If you feel that way, you are not alone.Recent estimates suggest that more than 10 millions people have at least 1 tattoo and a busy physician who specializes in tattoo removal says that about 50% of those who get a tattoo later bemoan doing so. Embarrassment, poor self-image or potential loss of a career are just a few of the reasons people opt for tattoo removal.

No matter the reason, anyone can get their tattoo removed, if they are willing to pay the price, both in dollars, pain and less than optimum results.

Laser Tattoo Removal:  This is the most common process of tattoo removal today.  It works by zeroing in on the ink with pulses of highly concentrated laser light that dissolves the ink into tiny pieces which are then cleared away by the body’s immune system. It usually requires several treatments depending on the size, color of inks used and whether or not the tattoo has been covered up with another at some point.

Light Therapy through Intense Pulses or ILP:  This process of tattoo removal uses high intensity light in a way that is comparable to the way laser light is used but with less trauma to the skin.  It is less painful than laser treatments and may be more effective with fewer treatments.  Unfortunately, it is also more expensive.

Dermabrasion: For this tattoo removal process, a small portion of the tattoo is sprayed with a solution that freezes the area and then the skin is actually sanded to remove the surface as well as the middle layers.  

Excision: This is a surgical tattoo removal procedure where the tattoo is cut out from the body.  A local anesthetic to numb the area is injected into the skin and the tattoo is then surgically removed.

Tattoo Removal Cream: This is rubbed into the tattooed area several times before it is absorbed by the skin to the layer where the tattoo ink is located.  The cream creates a chemical reaction that basically destroys the chemical bond the ink has produced with your skin.  The reaction causes the ink to be busted into small particles – foreign bodies – which stimulates the immune system to remove them.

Expected Results: Tattoo removal is a viable option today.  No one who chooses tattoo removal ends up with skin that looks like it did prior to receiving the tattoo.  Some scarring or variations of the skin will occur regardless of the method chosen to remove the tattoo.  The success of the process is dependent upon a variety of factors such as age of tattoo, colors of ink used, depth of the tattoo and health of the individual getting it removed.  
The healing time will depend upon the size and depth of the tattoo, the procedure used and the individual themselves.
