Tattoo Removal is not a do-it-yourself process and should only be left to expert tattoo artists. If you already own a tattoo and are looking to remove it, do not be lured into using over-the-counter topical lotions and other home removal products advertised as affordable alternatives. Some of these products can even be downright hazardous, especially since they can contain extremely high concentrations of harmful acid. The best solution is to seek the help of an experienced artist who is trained in removing tattoo ink and can help reduce the chance of damage to your skin.

Tattoo removal takes time, patience and excellent technique. A professional tattoo artist will use a mild exfoliating cream on the patient's skin before removing the tattoo with a laser. This is very important, since only after the outer layer of skin is removed will the patient notice any difference.

There are many different tattoo removal methods that a doctor can recommend. These range from dermabrasion and collagen injections to surgical excision. While all of these procedures can produce results, not all of them are guaranteed. It is important that the patient thoroughly researches his or her options before undergoing any treatment. No matter what the method, the ultimate goal is to be free of the tattoo. Sometimes this can be accomplished using less drastic treatments and other times by Complete Removal of Tattoo (CRKT).

Many people wonder if laser tattoo removal is dangerous. The answer is yes, but only if the wrong laser is used or the wrong dosage is used. In the case of lasers, while there is a danger of burning and scarring, this is rare. In the case of dosage errors, there is a risk of infection, but again, this is rare. If problems occur, they may cause temporary loss of sensation or numbness, but these side effects will usually go away within a few days or weeks.

Another concern that some people have is the pain of tattoo removal. It must be noted that most of these treatments require multiple treatments. Some may need one, but others may need as many as four or more separate treatments. However, each patient must decide which treatments are most important to him or her.

If desired, there are a number of surgical procedures that may be performed in order to remove unsightly tattoos. If the patient has a large tattoo, he or she may want to consider a laser tattoo removal procedure. This procedure is often quite successful, especially if the unwanted tattoo is located near a major organ such as the heart or lungs. Some of the most common areas to remove tattoos are the arms, legs, and back. If a patient has a rather large tattoo that he or she no longer wishes to have, then this may be the best solution for the patient. Of course, there are other surgical procedures that can also be employed in order to remove unwanted tattoos, but these will require more advanced medical training in order to perform them.

Surgical tattoo removal may cause scarring pigmentation where the treated area is being healed. This may cause some discomfort to the patient, and in some cases, patients may have to have sutures or bandages applied to the treated area. In other cases, however, the pigmentation that forms after the surgery is not permanent. The body can produce collagen, and new skin can form over the area of the tattoo that has been removed. In either case, new tattoos will be made to replace the old one.

Tattoo Removal is an elective cosmetic dentistry procedure and is often done to reduce the size or color of a tattoo. However, it is also used to remove other skin imperfections such as spider veins, stretch marks, or mole scars. If multiple treatments are required to remove one tattoo, multiple laser sessions may be needed, and each session can cost up to several hundred dollars.
