Fadeplex vs. Laser Tattoo Removal

Skin bleaching creams cannot fully remove a tattoo, as they do not penetrate deep enough or have the capability to remove pigment that was placed into your dermis by the tattoo artist. You do not need to wait between using the cream and having a laser treatment. You can start a series of laser treatments (likely with a laser like the Q-Switch Alexandrite), as soon as you'd like. You will have much better success than with the cream. Best of luck! see video

The Q-switched laser approach will work much better.

Laser Tattoo Removal and Fadeplex

Use of fadeplex should not alter the laser treatment of a tattoo, depending on the system. You might have to wait a few weeks to make sure its affect on the normal skin has resolved.
