Tattoos

There are many such people who want to remove their tattoos. These days there are various methods to remove your tattoo. At the end of the 1980’s laser treatment was the best method and remains one even today. It makes sure no scars are left on your skin after the treatment. Before the laser treatment came into picture, people used the following methods for tattoo removal.

1. Dermabrasion-Method
In this method of removal, the skin was sanded using a wire-brush or a diamond-fraise, which is a kind of sanding disc that removed the upper surface of the skin and also a little bit of the inner layer if necessary.
The main drawback of this method was that it left scars on the skin surface.

2. Salabrasion Method
This was another method which was widely used in the past. In this case, a salt solution was prepared and this removed the pigmentation from the skin surface. At times, this was used in conjunction with dermabrasion, but later it has become very unpopular.

3. Cryosurgery Method
In this method of tattoo removal, the skin surface which had the tattoo would be first frozen to make the part numb and then it was removed.

4. Excision Method
Before the laser treatment came up, the Excision-Method was commonly used. Here, a dermatologist would remove the tattoo by utilizing a scalpel and closes the open-wound with stitches. If the tattooed are was too big, skin transplantation would have to be done. (Skin from another part of the body would be taken and placed over the tattooed area.)

5. Scarification Method
In this method an acid solution is utilized to remove the tattoo. The main disadvantage of the scarification method is that it leaves scars in place of the tattoo. Due to this reason, not many people preferred this process.

6. Camouflaging Method
In this case, utilization of injections takes place. New pigments are injected to the skin surface to either form a completely new patter or cover the existing tattoo with a skin-toned pigment, so that it will cover the tattoo. Injected pigments do not look natural because they lack the natural translucence the skin has.
Most of the above mentioned methods are used even today. But the laser surgery is definitely the best method to remove a tattoo due to certain advantages like minimum side effects, bloodless, low risk and effective.

Now you know the different ways in which you can remove you tattoo. But they say prevention is better than cure, therefore make sure you select the right artist and get a perfect tattoo done so that you do not have to remove it.
