How to remove a tattoo without scars

Many parents with children in their teens have a lot of controversy on various issues. One of the most relevant - the grown-up child wants to show his individuality and get a tattoo on his body. Parents are discouraged because they do not want a guy or a girl to spoil their body.

But the kids do not listen and do what they want, without thinking about what will happen in 5-7 years.

A few years later, and many need much more time to understand and realize their act, many office ladies (and not only) note with horror how vulgar the tattoo has become. Moreover, the drawing turned pale and blurred a little. What to do? It is still possible to fix the situation, then the thought comes that it is possible to remove the tattoo and get rid of the acquired complexes forever.

Even 10 years ago, no one could have thought that an unsuccessful tattoo could be disposed of quickly and without consequences. Now we live in a developed country, we use mobile phones, we have digital television and many other benefits, including high-quality medicine with modern equipment. The best way to get rid of a tattoo is to remove the pattern with a special machine. This operation is called "Goodbye Tattoo." It's a little funny, but this is only at first, in fact, everything is much more serious, because it is not always possible to reduce a tattoo with a laser forever.

Let's plunge into history. It turns out that for the first time doctors tried to remove an unsuccessful tattoo on the human body with a laser at the end of the last century - in 1960! The devices were then "cruel", they literally burned paint from under the skin, leaving ugly scars and scars. Some medical professionals have dubbed this difficult operation "an explosion under the skin." It was painful and the result was not very attractive, so the method was not in demand.

A little later, just a few decades later, a laser device was improved in the United States, which literally in a few seconds penetrated the skin and neutralized the pigment located there. This laser is called neodymium and is now widely used by beauticians to get rid of unwanted tattoos.

How to remove tattoos with a laser

Now the popularity of tattoos is only growing, especially among the younger generation. Guys and even girls are trying to show their individuality and decorate the body with various patterns. It's good if the master is experienced, and he used high-quality materials in his work. But all the time we see unsuccessful works of self-taught masters who trained on voluntary "canvases". At first, the tattoo does not seem to look bad, a little vague, but the master claims that after complete healing, the pattern will appear and be clear. Months and even years pass, but the tattoo remains vague and expressionless. If by that time a person is ripe to get rid of the pattern on the skin, then the best way is to remove it with a laser. Where to get a tattoo? Of course, in a specialized institution. The specialist will inspect and suggest shortcuts to get rid of the tattoo. By the way, even the best doctor cannot guarantee 100% success, so you must be prepared for this. The removed tattoo will fade, the contours will become blurry, perhaps the pigment will come off almost completely.

The most effective method for removing a tattoo is with a laser. The specialist evaluates the area of work and assigns several sessions of receiving "rays", dividing them into 2.3 or more visits. The interval is the same - every 2 weeks.

How is the procedure carried out

the area of the skin is treated with an antiseptic;
then a special cream is applied, it relieves pain (this is a local anesthesia);
depending on the age of the tattoo, the specialist adjusts the laser device and directs the beam to the area that needs to be freed from the subcutaneous pigment. During the procedure, healthy areas of the skin are not affected;
the session lasts from a few seconds to 2 minutes. During the operation of the laser, unpleasant sensations in the form of burning and tingling sensations on the skin are possible;
After completing the tattoo removal session, the specialist applies a soothing cream to the skin;
immediately after the procedure, the skin may turn red, but this phenomenon does not last long. Literally in 7-10 minutes everything goes away.

How does the tattoo "behave" after the first procedure: remains the same, possibly a slight change in the color of the pigment. It all depends on the "age" of the pattern on the skin and the depth of the injected pigment.

If you made yourself and the master "filled up" an eyebrow, or did not like the shape, then 2 weeks after the procedure, when the eyebrows heal and all the crusts come off, you can remove the unsuccessful tattoo with a laser. A fresh tattoo lends itself more quickly to rays and after the first session you can see the result: first, the eyebrows change in color, this lasts for several hours, then the pigment gradually brightens. After 2 weeks, you can repeat the procedure and after another 2 weeks fix the result.

Laser tattoo removal is currently the most effective and painless method. The principle of operation of a modern laser device remains the same, the rays instantly penetrate under the skin (everything happens so quickly that the skin is not injured) and destroy pigments. The paint breaks down into thousands of tiny micro-particles. They are gradually eliminated naturally from the body.

If we compare laser removal in terms of pain, then you should not be so afraid of the laser, because the procedure is tolerable and practically painless. And if you compare it with what many had to go through when getting a tattoo, then the laser removal procedure is a trifle.

Points to Consider: If you can tolerate the session without anesthesia, give it a try, because the cream reduces effectiveness.

About the number of sessions: everything is individual here, because the laser tattoo removal specialist does not know what kind of paint he used. If the paint was of high quality, then more procedures will be needed, if it is cheap, then perhaps 2-3 visits will be enough.

Is the color of the tattoo so important? Yes, and it also affects the end result. If the master used blue paint in his work, as well as black, then say goodbye to the tattoo faster, if it is orange or red, then more sessions will be needed. Green paint is the most difficult to remove. Experts immediately warn that the green pigment can remain in its place and only barely lighten.

It will take several months to completely get rid of a tattoo. Even if after 5-7 sessions the outline of the pattern remains on the body, the rest is the work of your body. He must independently remove the pigment remaining under the skin. This takes about 6 months.

How to remove a tattoo without a scar

Many people ask the following question: "How to remove a tattoo", so that it does not hurt, and there is an effect, and so that no scars remain? There is such a method and it is also laser removal. Only here you need to understand that you can perform the procedure and see the result only on good equipment. This is a US-made laser device. If the beautician works for the "Chinese", then it is difficult to achieve an ideal result with such a device. Almost complete removal is possible, but the pattern will be visible on the skin.

If you decide to remove unsuccessful permanent makeup from your lips, then the color of the "burgundy" pigment and all shades of pink after laser work will turn gray. This effect will disappear only after 10-14 days.

Remember that after laser tattoo removal, do not expose delicate skin to direct sunlight. It is forbidden to visit the solarium and sunbathe on the beach. Even if you use protective equipment, it is advisable to limit exposure to the sun during hours of increased activity. Otherwise, burns and pigmentation in these areas cannot be avoided.

How to remove a tattoo in other ways

There are other ways that you can get rid of unwanted tattoos, but none of them are as effective as laser removal.

Let's take a closer look at each method.

surgical excision - with a sharp scalpel, the surgeon cuts off the upper area on the skin along with the pattern, and then sutures. After healing, a scar from a reduced tattoo remains on the skin;
coagulation (current of different frequencies is supplied). After the procedure, a thin and smooth area of skin is still formed on the site of the tattoo, there are no scars on it, but the scar remains. This area of skin does not tan;
the mechanical method (dermabrasion) is the most terrible and dangerous, because the tattoo is polished with a special device. The unofficial name of this method is "bloody"; after the procedure, ugly scars and scars remain on the skin;
freezing a skin area with liquid nitrogen (cryosurgery). After treatment with nitrogen, over time, a hard crust forms at the treatment site, which after a couple of weeks exfoliates along with the pigment. An ugly scar appears at this place.

There is another method that cannot be called complete getting rid of a tattoo - this is camouflage. Still, this is a good alternative to replace the old drawing and fill in a new one in its place.

You can also get rid of a tattoo at home. It will take penny funds and a lot of patience. Remember that the methods are all cheap, but not fast.

Home remedies for getting rid of a tattoo

Iodine - you need a lot of iodine. Buy several bottles of 5% iodine at the pharmacy at once. The time is allotted for the procedure for removing the tattoo from 1 to several months. It all depends on how strongly the pigment has eaten into the skin. Every day you need to lubricate the area with the pattern with iodine, only the skin must be prepared first: if there is hair, it is advisable to shave it off, and wash the place with hypoallergenic soap (ideally for children). Three times a day you need to lubricate the tattoo with iodine. When you see that it becomes dry and begins to peel off, you do not need to remove the scales of the skin, it will cleanse itself. This period is the most difficult, because the place is very itchy and itchy. It is better to be patient so as not to injure the skin. Before going to bed, you can lubricate the tattoo with baby cream. After the skin peels off, a wet wound forms at the site of the tattoo, it will ooze. At this moment, the treatment must be stopped, the iodine must be removed and then the wound must be damaged with streptocyte. The tablets are sold at the pharmacy and must be crushed and applied directly to the open wound. When everything is healed, protect the area from direct sunlight.

After the first procedure, you will see how some of the ink is washed off along with the salt crystals. If the tattoo is old, then this procedure should be done every day for 3-4 weeks. Please be patient, this is not a quick process, but without scars and scars.
