BLTR Tattoo Removal Cream — Will it Work?

Question

A new tattoo removal cream has been released. The company is making some pretty strong claims stating that this cream can remove all pigments without any scarring within 3-12 months! Is this possible?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Do not trust tattoo removing creams, they can result in abnormal pigmentation side effects. This type of tattoo will get improvement with pico or q switched lasers.  I suggest the r20 method, please see a physician with laser training.  Best, Dr. Emer.

As of last year, BLTR cream was still in animal testing. Human testing--if it passes all 3 phases--is a good 10 years off.
People claiming to be selling BLTR now (e.g. bltr-cream.com) do make a lot of big claims. There appears to be no connection with them and the Ontario pharmaceutical company developing the real BLTR. Without some expensive chemical analysis, there's no way to know exactly what they're selling, since they're operating outside of credible regulatory oversight. It's BUYER BEWARE, when you're purchasing in Pounds Sterling from a website registered in Germany.
I would be thrilled if there were a viable adjunct to laser tattoo removal that might speed things up. It's a long way off. In the meantime, laser removal by medically-hands is the way to go.
