Tattoo Lightening Creams/Gels - Do They Work?

I just got a tattoo 3 days ago that didnt come out the way i wanted, and which i completely regret. i have done a lot of research on laser treatments, but have also come across advertisements for TCA/gels/creams. Do they really work to lighten or remove tattoos?

Tattoo lightening creams
