Methods of tattoo removal

To date, there are several ways to remove tattoos or permanent makeup in the salon. There are also many ways to remove tattoos at home, but all of them are not safe and can not only damage the skin, but also seriously harm a person's health. Procedures performed in the salon will not cause harm to health, but they still traumatize the dermis and in some cases leave scars:

1. Surgical removal is the removal of several thin layers of skin with a special device. One of the most effective ways to remove tattoos, suitable only for work on small areas of the skin.
2. Dermabrasion or grinding is more often used to remove not deep tattoos. Under local anesthesia, the tattoo is ground with a diamond cutter. Dermabrasion is the most economical and very effective method of removal, despite the fact that after the procedure, the skin is long to recover and in the place of removal of tattoos remain scars.
3. Cover-up is a method of overlaying the tattoo with paint of a color matched to the tone of the skin. Suitable for filling a small sized pattern. Does not leave a scar, but in the case of tan will be noticeable difference between the color of the skin and the color of the filling.
4. Coagulation - burning out the tattoo with an electric current. The procedure is performed in the salon under local anesthesia. When the current is used, a crust of crusted blood is formed at the place of burning, which will eventually fall off on its own. The coagulation session leaves scars on the body.
5. Removal with liquid nitrogen is the most inexpensive and quite effective procedure. It is carried out under local anesthesia. The skin in place of the tattoo is covered with a material soaked in liquid nitrogen, cooled to the formation of an icy crust, then the dead layer is removed.
6. When using ointments to remove a tattoo, the skin is pierced in several places and the product is rubbed in. Using this method does not leave scars and scars, but the effect after the complex of such procedures is not always perfect and takes quite a long time.
7. Laser removal of tattoos and tattooing is the easiest, most convenient and effective method today. When you remove a permanent mark with a beam on the skin there is no scarring, burns are possible, but small and quickly healing. See photo:

In the largest city in the United States, New York City banned tattooing from 1961 to 1997. In Japan to this day, some establishments still do not allow people with permanent drawings on their skin.

Laser tattoo removal

To achieve the maximum effect for a laser session, you need to prepare for the removal procedure in advance:

• Two weeks before visiting the beautician should exclude alcohol, antibiotics, do not sunbathe;
• Find out in a tattoo salon or remember the quality and manufacturer of the paints used for tattooing. A colored tattoo is more difficult to remove than a black and white one. The choice of laser, pulse frequency, wavelength of radiation depends on the quality of the pigment;
• Before the procedure it is necessary to wear protective glasses;
• Laser removal of a tattoo is not painful, but very unpleasant, so the day before you should choose the type of anesthesia: cream or injection;
• Also be prepared for the fact that to remove the permanent mark with a beam in one session will not work. The number of procedures required for the complete removal of a tattoo is from 4 to 8, depending on the size, depth, type of tattoo and dye.

In the practice of removing the pigment from under the skin salon masters use several types of lasers: erbium, neodymium, alexandrite, ruby.

Ruby and alexandrite lasers are good at removing dark-colored dyes from the middle layers of the skin. Both lasers are virtually useless at removing red and orange dyes from under the skin.

The neodymium laser is one of the most powerful and removes all colors at different depths of the skin. The price for the procedure of tattoo removal by this laser is higher than for removal by other types of device.

According to recent reviews, the average cost of a session of laser tattoo removal in Moscow and Moscow region - 1500 rubles.

There are a number of contraindications to the laser removal procedure:

1. diseases of the cardiovascular system;
2. Dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis and other skin diseases;
3. pregnancy and lactation period;
4. Allergic reaction to dyes.

A special care place on the skin, exposed to the laser does not require, but should observe a number of precautions:

1. Within 5 days after the procedure to remove the tattoo by laser, you can not go to the bath or sauna, take a bath, apply cream to the damaged area.
2. Regularly treat the place of tattoo removal with antiseptic and healing ointment.
3. Sunbathing is not recommended for a month after the procedure.

Tattoo removal is a modern, complex step-by-step process that cannot go unnoticed and painlessly. That is why the removal of the permanent mark with the laser should be done responsibly and seriously.

Very often doctors face the problem of psychological and emotional unpreparedness of the patient when using laser to remove the tattoo. After 1-2 sessions within two months, the client suddenly fails to come for an appointment or refuses to visit the doctor, even though part of the work has already been paid for and done. If the process of tattoo removal has already begun, it is better to bring it to the end, because in the place of tattoo remains a mixture of paints and scars, which greatly spoil the appearance of the skin.

Performing a laser tattoo or tattoo removal procedure requires cosmetology knowledge, skills, and abilities. Therefore, when choosing a place for a session salon, cosmetology office or clinic, make sure that the institution has a license to perform such procedures, and doctors of the institution are accredited and trained according to the relevant rules and regulations.
