Tattoo removal is a process that aims to erase all or parts of a tattoo. Tattoos are produced during the first phase of wound healing as a result of injecting ink into the skin, which forces pigment cells known as melanocytes to deposit the dark pigment along the epidermis. Tattoo removal procedures were initially used in World War II for soldiers wanting to hide their tattoos from military officials and now they are commonly used by those who have been exposed.
These procedures vary depending on several factors such as size, location and color of the tattoo plus your reason for removing it, but some methods do cause scarring. Tattoo removal can be achieved by one of two methods:
· Laser Tattoo Removal· Tattoo removal creams
Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser tattoo removal is the most common method of removing tattoos. Tattoos are broken into smaller segments covering different layers of skin. The laser breaks up the pigment cells found in the body's upper dermis, which contains dark ink, and each section is absorbed by an individual cell's phagocytic activity.
This process does require several sessions to remove larger tattoos, but it can also cause scarring even after fading occurs. Smaller tattoos usually only require one session for them to fade away completely elimating any sign of ever having a tattoo. Tattoo removal creams.
There are many tattoo removal creams on the market today that can cause scarring when used. Tattoos are broken up into smaller sections just like in laser tattoo removal, but tattoo removal creams conveniently use ingredients found in household items such as oranges and garlic to lighten dark pigments making them easier to remove without any pain or scarring.
The problem with this method is the toxins found in the fruit and vegetables combined with other chemicals in these types of products can still cause a degree of skin damage including scarring. If you aren't sure whether a tattoo will fade enough to be removed completely by one of these products then consult a dermatologist for advice on how to proceed safely before applying any cream to your skin.
Tattoos are a great way to express yourself through body art and every design is different. Tattoo removal is an option for those who want to try something new, but it's important to consider all options before making the final decision because not every tattoo removal method leaves scars.
Tattoos can fade over time, which may be all the answer you need, but consider researching your tattoo removal method to prevent any unnecessary consequences. Tattoo removal can leave scars no matter what type of procedure is used so always avoid DIYs and consult a dermatologist for advice or treatment specific to your needs.
