Procedures For Tattoo Removal

Tattoo removal can be as tedious as ink. Nevertheless, many people do not mind going through this complicated, expensive, and painful procedure instead of removing the tattoo. To help you decide, here are different surgeries to try.




1. Laser surgery




This method focuses on removing ink rather than getting rid of the skin layer. Through this method, the pigment colors of the ink break down, revealing a high-intensity light beam. Black ink tattoos are easier to remove than multiple color tattoos. Passive and active are two types of laser methods used to remove tattoos.




Passive laser tattoo removal procedures are usually performed in beauty salons. However, the active laser removal method, although a bit more expensive, is a more effective way to remove the ink. This is done by a dermatologist and requires a few seatings.




2. Cryosurgery & Dermabrasion 




Also known as cryotherapy, it is mostly used to remove warts and treat skin cancer. However, this therapy is nowadays used for the effective removal of tattoos. In addition to dermabrasion (another means of removing tattoos), cryosurgery is performed by exposing the skin area to extreme cold temperatures with a tattoo using a freezing agent such as liquid nitrogen.

This area is reduced by the dermabrasion method to get rid of the upper layer of skin.




3. Surgical Excision




This tattoo removal method is also quite common and works best on tattoos that are small and can be hidden anywhere as it can stain the area. Since the tattoo is surgically removed, it is spot on and does not cause any allergic reactions like a laser a person. However, since this removal procedure requires stitching, it can leave a scar for the rest of your life and can take months to heal.





4. Intense Vibrating Light Method




The broad spectrum of light used in this method helps to break down pigment like a laser and remove the epidermis. Over time the area removes a new layer of skin through skin regeneration.







Tattoo Removal - "Before" And "After"

  • After tattoo iodine removal, there may be a bitterness;

  • Extremely rare after tattoo cream scratch removal;

  • Depending on the tattoo depth, the laser depth can remove it without the laser piece if the injection was not.





Orchid Medical Clinic Suggestions




The best part of this procedure is that it is extremely effective in removing tattoos and less pain in contrast to laser therapy. However, it does not work well with people with darker skin color and is more expensive than laser removal procedures.
