Types of Tattoo Removal Procedures
Are you thinking about having your tattoo removed? There are several tattoo removal options to choose from. It is important that you know what each procedure can do for you. This way, you can choose the right procedure that is within your budget. Knowing each procedure will also help you orient about the risks and benefits of each. The available procedures include laser tattoo removal, intense pulsed light, ointments, and organic tattoo removal. Here are the basic things you need to learn about each option:
- Laser tattoo removal. This is the most common procedure in removing tattoos. Laser breaks the ink into small particles until they slowly fade away from the skin. More laser treatment sessions are needed for bigger tattoos, especially for colored ones.
- Intense Pulsed Lumination (IPL). This uses gel applied on the tattoo in the same direction as the surface area. Luminatin is focused on the tattooed surface of the skin. This is a new procedure and it is more expensive than laser removal, though this shows faster results in fewer treatments.
- Tattoo removal ointments. They are applied in the tattoo’s direction until it fades away over time. Make sure to do research about these ointments or creams first. Read reviews about them online.
- Organic tattoo removal. This uses saline solution made by tattoo designers. The solution will also be tattooed to the skin. This can help remove the ink so it will eventually fade away. However, it takes months before the tattoo will show fading results.
