How To Remove A Tattoo
by Naomi West
It is true that at a young age or even any age some of us tend to do things in the spur of the moment that we can regret for later in life. Right after I had turned 18 to get a tongue ring. Naturally I regretted it because my job didn't want me wearing it and well let's just say it wasn't the most comfortable thing to have. So I removed a week later.
Unfortunately there are some decisions and alterations that we make that are more permanent then a simple tongue ring. One of the most common things that a person does to their body (besides piercing) is getting a tattoo. This seems permanent to most people and often times when they are older they will regret this. It could be that they regret the design that they got and find it too morbid for them now that they are older. Or perhaps it is keeping them from getting the job they want. Whatever the reason is there is a way to get rid of it or at least to try.
Laser Tattoo Removal
Using a laser is the most common method to getting rid of a tattoo. How it works is that it will target the ink with special pulses of highly concentrated light beams. These beams will break the ink into very tiny fragments. The immune system will then clear away the broken fragments over time. Keep in mind that most people use this treatment on the same tattoo more then just one time. The more treatments you have the more ink will be broken. However, the more treatments you use the more you will damage your skin and will cause scarring.
This method is described as being very painful. Depending on what type of tattoo you have and how big it is you could need up to 10 treatments to remove it. Each visit can cost anywhere from $250 to $850.
Intense Pulsed Light Tattoo Therapy
IPL is one of the more newer methods and is viewed as one of the best dermal enhancers that is used. It uses high intensity light instead of laser light. They will apply a gel to the skin and will then use a wand that will emit pulses of light onto the skin with the tattoo. This method is much less painful and also more effective. You will need less treatment.
Of course the better it is the more expensive it is. It usually costs $10 per pulse. Again depending on the type of tattoo you have you might find that dollar amount adding up.
Other Tattoo Removal Options
There are other tattoo removal options out there - but many of them are either too painful or too far fetched. Many people have come up with tattoo removal creams that you use at home. Some of these products have said to help fade the tattoo without doing any physical damage to the skin. Yet, these creams are still not popular and it has not been fully determined if they can completely remove the tattoo.
