How to remove unwanted tattoo and permanent make-up?

It sometimes happen that we act before thinking. Because of such impetuous decisions we have to live with botched tattoo or hideous permanent make-up. Luckily enough, there are several methods of removing unwanted body ornaments. One of the techniques is deep skin exfoliation with the use of scrubs or dermabrasion. Tattoos can be removed thanks to surgery, chemical peels or laser. As it is not hard to guess, such treatments are rather painful and the risk of complications is fairly high. Convalescence is long and skin becomes badly decorated with scars and discolourations.

The most effective method of getting rid of a tattoo is laser tattoo removal. A device sends pulsed beams of laser that are generated in a very short period of time. As the consequence, the ink, that has been injected into skin, is divided into particles and removed from body completely. Use of laser is perfectly safe and remarkably effective. The beams of light work only on the ink (its colour is not an issue).

Laser tattoo removal treatment is performed mainly in aesthetic medicine surgeries. A doctor sets the appropriate length of laser’s beam, that varies accordingly to the pigment. Emla cream is used for local anesthesia. In order to remove a tattoo completely, one has to undergo several sessions. The number of procedures depends on the location of the tattoo, its size and colour of ink. As any other invasive treatment, laser tattoo removal may cause irritations. To clarify, skin around tattoo may be reddened and covered with scabs. The colour of either a tattoo or permanent make-up become gradually lightened up.In general, one has to be prepared for scars and wounds that develop right after the treatment is over. The level of the lesions depends on skin sensitivity level.

Note, before you decide to remove ink from skin, it is worth realizing that permanent make-up is a kind of a tattoo. Nevertheless, it is much more difficult to remove because it is done on face and with colour. Therefore, think twice before you decide to have it done.
