Tattoo Ink Removal: Affordable Methods

By Eddie Harvey

Previous to laser treatment tattoo ink removal was done by destroying the skin containing the ink. The skin would be burned, frozen, or excised surgically. The use of Q-Switched lasers has effectively diminished the abrasive nature of tattoo removal with successful results and is now a commonly used method for tattoo removal.

What do you use to remove a tattoo? Aside from laser treatment surgery's, other popular methods include the use of ointments and creams in a systematic fashion.

Unfortunately, not all tattoos can be removed completely, but the majority can be. Tattoos are meant to be lasting and with current ink technology and qualified tattoo artists improving their skills, tattoos imprinted in the last decade are very hard to remove. Even with the best technique, some left over scarring may stay in a a small number of cases.

Tattoo removal lasers yield a gentle beam of light that is absorbed by particular color of the tattoo ink. The ink gets broken down into tiny particles which are gradually removed through the body's lymphatic system. The tattoo magically fades away with each consequent treatment.

A normal laser tattoo removal requires many treatments. Amature tattoos are easier to remove then professional, multicolor ones. Other factors that determine treatment efficacy include: Tattoo colors, the type of ink used and your body's individual response.

Dermabrasion, salabrasion, and excision were all prior methods used to remove tattoos and have been pretty much eliminated by laser technology. However, in a case in which laser/light removal is not an option, due to cost, etc., it might help to know about some other methods practiced for tattoo ink removal.

The same rules apply with other methods, but without the pain of surgery. Also, there are added advantages. No Appointments, no prescriptions, no laser goggles, no harsh burning, no dry needling, no surgery and most importantly, no large bills to pay...All in the privacy of your own home!

The other advantage is the breakdown of ink injected skin cells and the utilization of your skin's natural ability to heal and regenerate itself with healthy, new, ink-free skin cells.

Yesterdays young, single, brash, and tattooed are tomorrows middle aged, married, conformists getting tattoos removed. The permanent and unalterable fears of permanent tattoos are being removed by advance tattoo removal technology.

Most conventional tattoos can be removed, but even a simple, small, one-color tattoo can require several laser treatments at a cost of around $1,000. Removals of large, multicolored tattoos can require more than a dozen laser treatments and cost $5,000 or more. And no, laser tattoo removal is not covered by medical insurance.

So that has plenty of people searching for affordable, simple and non-painful tattoo ink removal methods. Those methods involve the use of ointments, and creams in easy to follow systems that get the same results as laser, but keeps thousands in your pocket.
