Best Tattoo Removal

Tattoo Removal — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 23:32:45 +0000

There are several ways to remove a tattoo. Prior to considering that, however, you have to know if you’re a candidate for the procedure. For example, you may not want to have a tattoo removal treatment if you have the following conditions:

• Warts
• Undiagnosed lesions
• Active acne
• Active rosacea
• Unstable diabetes
• Pigmentation problems
• Auto-immune system disorders

At the very least, consult with a physician about the wisdom of having the tattoo removed if you have any of the above tendencies.

If you’re a candidate for tattoo removal, the question becomes, what’s the best tattoo removal procedure? Below are four of the most common procedures you can choose from.

The Best Tattoo Removal- Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion is where manual abrasion (usually with a fine grit sandpaper or a tool simulating that) is used on the skin. This removes the skin layer by layer until all of the inked skin is gone.

As you might suspect, prior to the procedure, the area will receive anesthesia to prevent pain. In addition to an IV to keep you hydrated, you may be injected with a solution of lidocaine. The surgeon will then begin to sand away the inked skin, smoothing it along the way.

The process can take from 15 minutes to two hours.

The Best Tattoo Removal- Excision

Excision is a process that works like it sounds. After an anesthetic is administered, the tattoo is cut out of the skin. The remaining skin edges are then sutured together. This is a simple solution that works best for small tattoos.

One reason it’s popular is that that the effects are immediate and it’s inexpensive- sometimes as little as $150 for the outpatient procedure.

The Best Tattoo Removal- Laser

This is the most common and the most effective way to remove tattoos. The way it works is that the inked area is bombarded with rapid, hot, energy packed bursts of colored light. In fact, the light is hot enough to fragment or break up the ink into tiny particles. These bits get absorbed into the skin.

It’s actually a fast forward of what the body’s natural process of ejecting foreign material does over time.

Laser treatment usually takes several sessions and is priced at a cost per session. For example, a two inch square tattoo might take nine treatments at $98 per treatment for a total cost of $882 to totally remove the tattoo.

The Best Tattoo Removal- Creams

Creams or balms are another tattoo removal method. With creams, there are no appointments, no anesthesia, no lasers and no surgery. It’s an at home method. What you do is apply a series of topical creams to the tattooed area each day. The cream sinks deep into the dermis where the tattoo ink is and breaks up the cells where the ink is embedded.

As with lasers, the body eventually absorbs the broken up cells. The size, depth and density of the tattoo determines the number of applications that must be done. The creams are powerful, so the recommendation is that you use them on about 1% of the body’s surface—or a surface the size of a palm.

The cost for creams averages out to about $3.50 to $7.00 per application.

The bottom line is that as individual as your tattoo is, so is the best tattoo removal for your situation. Consider your pain tolerance, the length of time the tattoo has been there, the amount and types of colors (black is the easiest to remove), the size (the smaller, the easier) of the art, the materials that form the ink and the depth of the tattoo. Then see your physician.

After a consultation with your doctor, select the best tattoo removal for your body art.

Tattoo Removal — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 21:15:10 +0000

If you’re seeking tattoo removal in NJ, there are host of factors to consider. The first have to do with the type of tattoo you have:

Size- The size measures in square inches. This can make a difference in the price as well as the method you select. For example, a small tattoo might be best to remove via an excision where six square inch body art might be better suited for laser removal.

Ink- In the past, soot was a common tattooing ink. Today, a wide range of dye and pigments are used in tattoos. They include titanium dioxide, carbon black, quinoline and iron oxide. Inks will vary in how easy they are to remove.
Depth- The ink gets injected into the dermis which is the inner layer of skin. The deeper it seeps in, the longer it takes to remove.
Location- Because of the tissue and bone structure, where the tattoo is located can make a difference. For example, forearm and ankle tattoos take the longest to remove.
Skin Type- Thin skin areas tend to scar easier.

Tattoo Removal Methods

After you have decided to have your tattoo removed and understand some of the factors that went into making your tattoo, it’s time to figure out which method will work best for you. There are four major methods of tattoo removal, NJ or otherwise:

Laser Tattoo Removal
Excision
Cream
Dermabrasion

Laser Tattoo Removal- NJ
Laser tattoo removal has become the most common and probably the most effective method for ridding yourself of your inked skin. Via a series of highly charged, laser bursts, the ink gets fragmented into tiny particles (Note: the technician has to be sure the bursts have enough energy to actually do that). The tiny particles are then absorbed harmlessly into the skin, the smallest getting absorbed first.

Different laser lights are used on different ink colors. That’s because different inks absorb different laser colors better than others.

It can take several treatments to complete this process. The sessions are usually scheduled six weeks apart.

Excision Tattoo Removal- NJ
Excision tattoo removal is just what it sounds like. After an application of a heavy dose of local anesthesia, the tattoo gets removed by cutting it out of the skin. The skin around it gets sewn up with special sutures.

This can be an effective method for removing small tattoos (sometimes on large ones, a skin graft is needed). The results are instant. It’s an outpatient procedure and is relatively inexpensive (as little as $150).

Cream Tattoo Removal- NJ

Do- it-yourself cream removal systems are very popular. These methods require that you apply a series of powerful topical creams right on the tattoo, each day. They work like a laser does. The cream seeps into the skin and breaks up the inked cells. The fragmented cells then get wiped away or harmlessly absorbed into the skin.

These creams are very powerful. So, the recommendation is usually that you only work on one square inch at a time. It can take many applications to remove a tattoo. The price ranges from $3.50 to $7.00 per application.

Dermabrasion- NJ

This method requires that the skin be scraped away until all of the inked pigment has disappeared. A topical anesthetic is applied. The skin gets removed with a tool or fine grit sandpaper. After each layer is removed the skin is moisturized and smoothed.

This process can take anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours or longer. It may even require multiple sessions.

Whatever method you select, perform your due diligence and select the best tattoo removal in NJ for you.

Tattoo Removal — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 22:47:24 +0000

In 1991, a body was discovered frozen in ice. It dated back to 3300 BC. It also bore dozens of tattoos. In addition to being affixed to bodies, tattoos have been a fixture of human culture since recorded history.

Reasons for Tattoo Removal

And probably just as certain was the fact that some regretted their choice and wanted the tattoos removed. In fact, currently, about 17% of American individuals with tattoos are rethinking them.

Some of the reasons are that the wearers feel they’re marked for life, they don’t like the body art anymore or a life change caused the tattoo to become an embarrassment instead of the distinctive statement it once was.

Abrasion Methods of Tattoo Removal

So, methods for tattoo removal have been around for a long time. They’ve also evolved. For example, a common tattoo removal technique (prior to laser) used to be dermabrasion. Dermabrasion is where the skin is frozen. Then a specialized instrument sands the skin. It eventually removes the tattoo and smoothes the skin while doing so.

Salabrasion can actually be done at home. Plain table salt and tap water is used. An abrasive device like a wooden block wrapped in gauze is used to grind away the tattoo.

Laser Tattoo Removal

Lasers have become the most common method to remove unwanted tattoos. What occurs is that the laser reacts with the tattoo ink. The dissipated ink is then absorbed into the body. This has the same effect, highly accelerated, that the natural sun and time exposure would create on the tattoo.

This method usually takes repeat treatments, usually six weeks apart. The reason for this is because certain tattoo inks including greens and yellow, take more time to break down for body absorption. Darker blues and blacks are broken down and absorb into the body more easily.

At each session, the smallest specks of ink get absorbed first. The result is that over time, the tattoo becomes lightened. Factors that influence the amount of time the process takes include:

Skin type (thin skinned areas are more likely to scar)
Tattoo location (forearm and ankle tattoos take the longest)
Colors and amount of ink used in the tattoo
Tissue alteration

A scale, called the Kirby-Desai Scale, has been developed to predict the number of laser sessions required to remove the tattoo.

Laser tattoo removal can be painful. Topical injected anesthetic or creams can help manage the pain. Treatment prior to the tattoo removal may include anesthetic cream application 45 to 90 minutes prior to the laser session.

Pulsed Light Tattoo Removal Therapy

In this method, a gel is applied to the skin. A wand is then used that emits rather costly (some are up to $10 per pulse!) light pulses. It’s reputed to be less painful and more effective than laser treatment.

Other Tattoo Removal Methods

Do- it-yourself cream treatments are where you rub a cream over the tattoo for the amount of time it takes the tattoo to disappear. It can take several months for this method to work, if it works at all.

Cover-up can be an alternative for tattoo removal if you have a tattoo that you no longer desire but want to replace it with another one. A cover up is placing a new tattoo over an old one. A new design can turn out to be quite effective in covering up an old tattoo for a cost that’s not much more than a new tattoo.

Costs for Tattoo Removal

Laser treatments can cost anywhere from $100 to $800 per treatment. Creams can cost from $30 to $100 per ounce to remove your tattoo.

Tattoo Removal Options

Tattoo Removal — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 23:34:01 +0000

A tattoo is no longer the permanent body fixture that it used to be. Thanks to modern technology and research, you now have several option to have that unwanted tattoo removed.

Many people with tattoos realize after some time that they no longer want their tattoo.

It could be that you have outgrown your tattoo or that your physic has changed somewhat – or it could be that you have simply grown up and came to the realization that the tattoo was an impulsive action. Tattoo removal to the rescue!

In-Home Tattoo Fading Creams

Wrecking Balm, Tat B Gone and other tattoo fading creams claim to fade your tattoo within a few weeks. If you have a small light tattoo it is definitely worth trying as it is non invasive and inexpensive. Make sure you follow the instructions and stop using these creams at the first sign of skin irritation. There are mixed responses on the effectiveness of fading creams. There are some that claim total satisfaction with the outcome.

Surgical Tattoo Removal

Depending on the area and size of your tattoo – this may be the most effective way of tattoo removal. A surgeon will physically cut out your tattoo and cover the area either by skin graft or simply by stitching the wound together – if the size would allow this. Ouch – but effective! The negative is that a medical procedure could leave the skin damaged and scarring. In my opinion you should consider surgical tattoo removal in extreme cases only and definitely as a last resort.

Laser Tattoo Removal

Treatment through high-powered laser is the most popular method as it is bloodless and low risk. The downside of this is that multiple treatments may be required, often depending on the number of colors in your tattoo. Laser tattoo removal targets the ink under your skin with pulses that break the ink into microscopic fragments. After a laser procedure you may not actually see a difference as your body’s immune system takes time to expel these fragmented ink drops over time. You may require several laser treatments to get rid of your tattoo which could be costly. The process is also quite painful but a numbing cream will make it bearable. If you can afford it, this is probably the most effective way of removing that unwanted tattoo.

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy

This is a similar process to Laser Tattoo Removal but relying on intense light pulses rather than laser. To get technical, the major difference between laser and and intense pulsed light is that laser operates at a fixed wavelength whereas IPL produces a spectrum of light, claiming to make the process of breaking up the ink more effective.

Tattoo Removal through Dermabrasion

This boils down to a process where a surgeon will sand or scrape the area of your tattoo in order to remove all the colored layers of skin. Some of the ink will be released during the process and can be absorbed by a blotting cloth. A skilled person will have to study the skin area of your tattoo in order to determine if Dermabrasion is an option.

Research Tattoo Removal Options

If you are ready to have your tattoo removed, please contact a skilled surgeon or physician in your area. We are aware that there are many web sites offering quick tattoo removal solutions. Always do your own research before you commit to any of these procedures. Trust a physician or surgeon with your health. It may be a painful process to have your tattoo removed – but at least it is possible and an option. Do it today, and get it behind you.

Find a service provider in your area that has experience with Tattoo Removal. Ask for references. In certain states the demand for tattoo removal is bigger than in other states and you may have to travel to find the best service.

Tattoo Removal Before and After

Tattoo Removal — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 21:58:14 +0000

A discussion of tattoo removal before and after might have had its start in 3300 BC. Because in 1991, a body dating back to 3300 BC was discovered frozen in the ice. On its remarkably well preserved skin was dozens of tattoos.

Probably since then people have reconsidered their tattoos to the point where they wanted them removed. Reasons for that include:

People come to feel that they’re marked for life and that bothers them
The tattoo has become an embarrassment to them
Individuals simply don’t like their tattoo anymore

Tattoo Removal Issues

You’re not from a BC century but in the 21st century the tattoo that you felt made a unique statement about you, has now outgrown its luster, lost its panache and well, you just plain hate it now, no matter what year you had it applied. The question is, what do you do about it now?

You’ve may have heard nasty stories about scraping it off with sandpaper or having pulses of laser light, which feel like rubber band snaps against the skin, remove your body art.

In addition to the potential for pain, you’re probably concerned about cost. And of course, the biggest issue is, will the tattoo removal process work? Will the method you select cause the tattoo disappear permanently?

The First Step of Tattoo Removal

When you’re considering tattoo removal, consult an expert—a dermatologist or a tattoo removal professional about your tattoo. The consultation usually takes from 30 to 60 minutes. It may be more involved than you think. You will discuss the following with the tattoo removal pro:

Your health history
Tattoo evaluation
An explanation of the procedure
A review of the options, risks and benefits
The price

Tattoo Removal Before and After Photographs

After you talk about your situation, you might ask the following questions to your tattoo removal person:

How long have you been doing tattoo removal?
Where did you learn how to do it?
Is the equipment used for the procedure state of the art?
How many tattoo removals have you done?
How long does treatment take?
How much does it cost?
What have been the results?
Can you provide references?

Finally ask to see pictures. Specifically, tattoo removal before and after photographs. Look at them closely. Are the tattoo before and after pictures taken in the same light and conditions? This will help ensure you of a valid comparison. Make sure you know how long apart the photos are and how many visits were done in between the tattoo before and after photos.

Ask about the differing tattoo removal after effects on the patients. If you see color that’s stubbornly clinging to the skin, it could have been a deeply colored ink like blue, yellow or red. Sometimes pigment stained with those colors take longer to remove. Check the photos carefully for scarring on the skin. Although the chance of scarring for laser tattoo removal is less than 5%, if you notice it, ask why.

Include Tattoo Removal Before and After Photo Results in your Decision

You’ve heard the adage ad nauseum, a picture paints a thousand words. Even though that’s a tired cliché it’s doubly true for tattoo removal. Make sure you carefully review the before and after photos in the picture gallery of your tattoo removal expert. In fact, make an examination of every tattoo removal before and after photograph you can. Include those examinations as the major factor in your due diligence to find the perfect tattoo removal professional.

After all, it is your appearance that’s being changed!

Tattoo Removal Laser Style

Tattoo Removal — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 21:38:16 +0000

Tattoos used to be considered permanent. However, ever since people have begun putting body ink art on, they have sought ways to take it off. In fact, some jurisdictions in America will even pay for the removal of gang tattoos.

If you’re seeking tattoo removal, laser might be the best way to go. Consider some of the alternatives:

Dermabrasion- Most tattoos are ingrained deep in the skin. In order for the tattoo to disappear, the skin with all the ink in it needs to be removed. If you decide to use dermabrasion, the skin and ink is removed layer by layer with a fine grit surgical sandpaper or tool. A local anesthetic is usually used.
Salibrasion- This method is very old. The tattoo is rubbed away with salt. This is also performed under a local anesthetic.
Excision- The results of using this method are immediate but may leave scars. The tattoo is cut out of your skin. The wound is sutured. The process is simple and works best with small tattoos.
Creams- You can also remove your tattoo using topically applied creams. The treatment usually takes about two months and can be done at home.
Saline Injections- These can blur the tattoo. Some tattoo removal experts suggest this if the area will be getting a cover up tattoo, anyway.

What is Tattoo Removal Using Lasers?

The natural body process is to expel foreign objects. One such foreign object is ink. Tattoo removal using lasers involves the penetration and fracturing of the ink particles lodged in your skin. It essentially accelerates the natural process of rejecting foreign substances.

The tattoo removal laser procedure uses a variety of intense, rapid lasers light pulses to disintegrate the ink. The ink is then is absorbed by the skin. This used to take up to two years to complete. But now, with the advancement of laser technology, it can take from four to twelve sessions.

Tattoo Removal Laser Influences

As suggested, tattoo removal using laser is extremely effective. But a number of factors will influence the tattoo removal laser process. They include:

The Ink Colors- Different inks remove differently. For example, blacks remove easily. Reds and greens can adhere more stubbornly to the skin pigment.
The Tattoo Size- The larger the tattoo the harder it is to remove
The Type of Lasers Used- Usually, several different lasers are used to remove tattoos. This is because different colors and light intensities emit from each type of laser. They react differently to different colors.

Factors for Successful Tattoo Removal Using Lasers

For tattoo removal, laser light pulse success depends on the following factors:

The light color must penetrate into the skin enough to reach the tattooed pigment.
The laser light color has to be more absorbed by the ink pigment than the surrounding skin. This means that different tattoo ink colors require different laser colors. As an example, red laser light is most easily absorbed by green pigments.
The laser pulse duration must be very short. This is so the inked pigment gets heated to the temperature where it can break up before the heat gets to the surrounding skin, which can cause scars.
In addition to short, rapid laser bursts, enough energy must be emitted during each pulse to sufficiently heat the pigment so the pigment can fragment. If the energy is not powerful, the pigment will not fragment. Therefore no tattoo removal will occur.

For tattoo removal with lasers, consult a skilled dermatologist or tattoo removal expert to determine the length of time between sessions and the time it will take the overall tattoo removal laser process to be completed.

Tattoo Removal Prices

Tattoo Removal — Fri, 28 May 2010 20:18:52 +0000

Tattoo removal prices depend on many factors. However, you can get a good feel for tattoo removal prices of the three major tattoo removal treatments by doing some online research.

Laser Tattoo Removal Prices

Laser tattoos are one of most popular and probably the most effective methods of tattoo removal. The way laser tattoo removal works is that a variety of lasers emit high energy, different colored light pulses onto the tattooed skin. The object is to strike the inked skin with so much energy that the pigment fragments into small particles. The particles are so small that they eventually become absorbed into the skin.

A natural body process is for the skin to rid itself of foreign objects. Ink is a foreign object. Given enough time the skin would eventually expunge itself of the ink. All the laser process does is accelerate that natural reject and expel process.

The Kirby-Desai Scale

The amount of time required for laser removal of a tattoo varies with each individual. Skin type, tattoo location, ink material and colors as well as the health of the individual all factor into the length and complexity of the tattoo removal process. In the past, the tattoo removal technician would make his best estimate on the number of treatments that would be required for tattoo removal. Prices would be at best, educated guesses.

However, eventually a predictive scale called the Kirby-Desai Scale was developed. This tool assigns numerical value to six parameters:

Skin Type
Tattoo Location
Color of Ink
Amount of Ink
Tissue Change
Skin Layering

Exact Laser Tattoo Removal Prices

The combined score of these factors result in the estimated number of laser treatments necessary for successful tattoo removal. You then take this number and multiply it by the square inches of the ink in the tattoo. This will determine the exact cost it will take to remove the tattoo.

For example, below are five actual tattoo removal prices:

A one square inch tattoo on the hand might take 12 treatments. At $49 per treatment, the total tattoo removal price would be $588.
A one and half square inch tattoo on the lower back might take 11 treatments at a cost of $74 per treatment for a total tattoo removal cost of $814.
A three inch tattoo on the neck might take seven laser treatments at $144 per treatment for a total cost of $1,008 to remove the tattoo
A six inch tattoo on the upper back would take nine treatments at $270 per treatment. The total tattoo removal price would be $2,430
A fifteen inch tattoo located on the shoulder would take five treatments at a cost of $540 per treatment. The total cost would be $2,700.

So, what once was somewhat of a mystery to predict, is now fairly accurate pricing.

Cream Tattoo Removal Prices

Tattoo cream removal systems usually involve a kit of topical creams to be applied over a period of time. The number of daily applications that are needed depend on the size of the tattoo but the average time to achieve tattoo removal is about two months.

An example of tattoo removal prices for one popular cream is $150 for 24 applications and $250 for 72 applications.

Dermabrasion Tattoo Removal Prices

Dermabrasion involves a fine sanding of the skin. The process removes the inked pigment and smoothes the skin at the same time. It sounds like it may be painful which is why local anesthesia is used in the process. This impacts the tattoo removal prices of this process which can range from $15O for a small tattoo to $5,000 for a large one.

Tattoo Removal — Thu, 27 May 2010 22:02:44 +0000

So, you want to have your tattoo removed? What seemed like such a great idea at the time has now changed. Maybe, the tattoo was applied in the flush of youth and you realize it’s not for the stage of life you’re currently in. Maybe, you feel that you’re branded for life or that the tattoo is a permanent mark.

But is it?

There was a time when people didn’t think that they could get a tattoo removed. It was thought to be permanent.

However, that’s no longer the case. It may take awhile, it may cause slight scarring and it may even be a little painful, but the fact is that having your tattoo removed is not unlike many other mild cosmetic surgery procedures. In fact, getting your tattoo removed may be easier than you think.

Prior to Having Your Tattoo Removed

There are least four ways to get your tattoo removed. All of them have their pros and cons. However, the process that’s best for you is as individual as the tattoo itself. And before you have your tattoo removed, you’ll need to consider the following factors:

Ink- See if you can recall what the ink was made from, how deep it goes and every color that you used
Time- Calculate how long ago you had tattoo applied. You may not be able to have your tattoo removed if you had it applied less than six months prior.
Health- Determine if you’re healthy enough to undergo whatever process you decide to use—especially if you have skin conditions like warts, acne or rosacea.
Preferences- Picture if you’re the type who could sit through six laser treatments. Would you rather apply a do-it-yourself cream? Decide if you’re willing to have your tattoo cut out or are willing to sit through a dermabrasion (sanding of the skin).
Cost- The cost for tattoo removal depends on all of the above factors. So, to have a tattoo removed can run from $150 to thousands of dollars.

Ways to Have Your Tattoo Removed

Following are four common ways to have your tattoo removed:

Excision- Especially if it’s a small one, you can have the tattoo removed by having it actually cut out of your skin. This is a cosmetic surgical procedure that requires anesthetic. After the tattoo is removed, the edges of the skin are sewn back together with a special suture.

Different lasers are used for different color inks. For example, red laser light works well in fragmenting green tattoo ink.

The laser process can take several sessions. There is a special formula based on the ink and other factors that determines how many sessions and how much it will cost per session to have your tattoo removed

Creams- This do-it-yourself at home tattoo removal method, involves rubbing the tattooed skin with a variety of topical creams. The creams go deep into the dermis and break-up the cells containing the ink. This is not a high cost method but it can take few months to see results.

Dermabrasion- With dermabrasion, a fine sandpaper or tool which produces similar results is used to scrape away the layers of inked skin. A topical anesthesia is used to deaden any pain. This method also smoothes the skin as your tattoo is removed.

Wrecking Balm Tattoo Removal System

Tattoo Removal — Thu, 06 May 2010 03:27:21 +0000

If you decide for whatever reason that the tattoo that once seemed to be such a personal identifying statement needs to be removed, there are two primary choices:

Laser Removal- This method burns the skin away to allow for skin regeneration
Cream Removal- You apply a topical cream to the tattoo to destroy the inked cells

Many choose to use cream systems that allow them to remove their tattoos in the privacy of their own home. If so, they might select a tattoo cream removal system like Wrecking Balm.

Wrecking Balm

Wrecking Balm is a popular tattoo removal system. Why? It boasts of no harsh chemicals, no lasers, no appointments to make and no needles to pierce your tattooed skin. It also claims to be pretty much pain free. The cost is about $150 for 24 applications. A bulk purchase of 72 applications will cost about $250.

The process is FDA approved.

Wrecking Balm Tattoo Removal Process

It can take four to six weeks for skin to renew. This has a major impact how long it will take your tattoo will fade. Other factors include how deep into the epidermis the tattoo ink has seeped, the age of the tattoo and the color of the inks.

For example, reds and yellows appear to fade more easily that greens and blues. This is because of their concentration and pigment base. The color contrast to your skin will also affect the way the faded tattoo looks.

After using Wrecking Balm consistently for several weeks, it will accelerate the tattoo removal process. You’ll notice that your body will become more efficient at regenerating skin and this should speed up the fading process.

When considering how long it will take your tattoo to diminish, know that a small black tattoo may take two months to fade. Larger, more colorful tattoo art can take up to six months to disappear. The tattoo area Wrecking Balm works best with is the size of your palm. Larger tattoos will require more product and more time to remove.

The Wrecking Balm Kit contains four products:

DemoMatic
Suffusion Gel
Heydravescent Cream
Branding Butter

It takes about three minutes a day to use the system.

Following is the Wrecking Balm Tattoo Removal Process:

Use the FDA approved DemoMatic device in the kit to remove the top layers of the inked skin. As the under layers push to the top, you remove the skin one layer at a time. Then separate the tattoo into four quarters. Buff each section for about 45 seconds.
Remove and exfoliate the skin with the included chemical peel blend. The Suffusion Gel soaks deep into the layers. It breaks up the cells saturated with ink. After the Gel dries, it will peel off, taking the dissipated cells with it.
Apply the Hydravescent Cream onto the skin after it has gone through the first two steps. The cream sustains the skin’s moisture and vitamins. It ensures maximum healing and rejuvenation of your skin after the tattoo is gone.
Cover up the tattoo with the Branding Butter. This is used to cover the area while the tattoo is in the process of fading.

It’s recommended that you shave the tattooed area before using Wrecking Balm. It’s also recommended that the product not be used on tattoos that have been applied less than six months prior. It may cause a minor burning or irritation sensation.

Most patients are done with the tattoo removal process in two months. But that depends on the size and ink penetration of the tattoo.

Ways to Have Your Tattoo Removed

Following are four common ways to have your tattoo removed:

Laser- This is one of the most common ways to have your tattoo removed. It’s also very effective. This works by having a specialist apply highly energized hot pulses of laser light directly on the tattoo. The laser works to break up the skin pigment saturated with the tattoo ink. The tiny particles then get absorbed into the body. Different lasers are used for different color inks. For example, red laser light works well in fragmenting green tattoo ink. The laser process can take several sessions. There is a special formula based on the ink and other factors that determines how many sessions and how much it will cost per session to have your tattoo removed

There was a time when people didn’t think that they could get a tattoo removed. It was thought to be permanent.
