Tattoo Removal Cream

The ink from tattoos is embedded into the dermis, beyond the reach of any standard cream. Sure you might find a cream which has an acid base and if you search hard enough you might find one to penetrate to the dermis , but it would create a scar far uglier than the tattoo. Plus, its safety should be questioned.

If you search around realself.com, you will discover that tattoo removal is expensive and painful.

To those reading this who are contemplate being tattooed it is imperative that you are 1000% sure you want to permanently desecrate your body in this way ( I guess you know where I stand here) , before falling for this colorful ornament.

If you have any thoughts of being a model or actress you would be even more strongly advised against having this procedure performed on yourself. We discussed this with Aaron Marcus ( the author of "How To Becme A Successful Commercial Model") on our show on www.blogtalkradio.com June 12th.

If you live in the Los Angeles area you should contact Dr. Bryna Kane, of the University of California at Davis. She is an outstanding dermatologist who removes tattoos from gang members as a charitable enterprise. She might give you a very reasonable rate if you cannot afford the expense of tattoo removal. Her motivation is rather touching. Both parents are Holocaust survivors who dreaded and desparately avoided being tattooed by the Nazi thugs.

There are dermatologists in other cities, including my own, who function similarly to Dr. Kane.

Unfortunately, most of the advertised creams don’t work and can damage the skin. I recommend saving up some money and removing it professionally when you are able to do so.

Creams do not work for tattoo removal. The most effective way to remove a tattoo without a scar is with a q-switched laser, such a s ruby, alexandrite or Nd:YAG laser. This will break up the pigment into tiny particles that are aloow tha tattoo to lighten over a series of treatments. Be sure to avoid using a CO2 laser or an IPL (Intense Pulse Light device) to treat your tattoo. The risk of scarring is 100%.

Unfortunately, there are no tattoo removal creams on that market that really work. You must have a laser that will target the ink below the skin. A complimentary consultation is recommended to answer all of your questions and concerns, as well as getting an exact quote. We price tattoo removal by how long the session will actually take-to save you money, and not by the size of the tattoo - which is the standard. Dark colors, especially black, are the easiest to remove. Leaving yellow and light green/blue the most difficult. With every unique tattoo and not knowing how deep or superficial the ink was injected, at least 10 treatments could be required. A local anesthetic may be used at no extra charge during treatment if needed.

There are no tattoo removal creams that are effective. Treatment with a q-switched laser will break up the pigment into microparticles that are then removed by your body. Dermabrasion or CO2 laser can also remove tattoo but by a different method - destruction of the tattoo - and typically these treatment leave scarring whereas the q-switched laser treatment is typically scar free.
