Posted to Tips for removing the lovely pen marks from surgery? on 19 Feb 2011
Denvergal - I researched this and found the following suggestions by people trying to get permanent ink off their skin. Personally, I'd avoid the harsh chemicals if your're getting close to your incision:

Works:
- Mr. Clean Magic Eraser
- Lysol Antibacterial Kitchen Cleaner
- Clearasil Stayclear Oil-Free Daily Face Wash
- non-acetone nail polish
- Lemon juice
- Cooking spray
Doesn't Work:

Rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, alcohol-based hand sanitizer, hairspray, soap/water, baby oil, olive oil

Let us know what ended up working on the surgery pen lines!

thanks for sharing. I was talking to a dermatologist about Ulthera and she said the pain was intense and the results took a number of months to see. How far out are you and how would you describe the pain?
