Best Tattoo Removal Methods

I am looking for a good doctor to perform laser removal of a small tatoo. I live in Westchester County, New York, Close to Conneticut as well. Anyone know of a good doctor?

Sorry. I can’t help you.

Free coupons for Laser tatoo removal surgery or to the salon are the obvious answers, so …

He could dress in drag for 2 weeks, with Hi heels and walk the "Stroll" to see what a real ho is! Make up please, wardrobe! lights! Cameras Action…quiet on the set! Maybe Madea will save him from his degraded life. George Clooney, 50 cent, Queen Latifa, Oprah Winfrey, Richard Gere or Ike Turner could play the part of the pimp! Give the Rutgers players compensation from his work and donate to a Women’s charity of their choosing.

I DID MY EYEBROWS TATTOED LIKE 3 YRS AGO AND KNOW I WANT THEM REMOVED THERE VERY FADDED AND POINTY I HATE EM. BEFORE I PURSHASE ANYTHING ONLINE I NEED SOME ANSWERS PLZ N I DONT HAVE MONEY FOR LASER. THANKS EMAIL ME AT MSARIAS20@AOL.COM

Tattoos are forever! What were you thinking in the first place? LOL tattooed eyebrows, Ahahaha! Ahem….excuse me, what I meant to say was DID YOU LEARN A LESSON? ahahahaha pointy!
Because the permenant ink is on your face, I would suggest you go to a proffessional!!!!! Go to a proffessional and PAY to have them removed! ahahaha

I have this tatoo with my oldest daughters name..then I had another daughter so i decide to get another. I wasnt payin attention and by the time the dude was done the new tat is 4X the other one.. looks like I like my new baby better…stupid decision. Anyway now I want them both off. I am jealous of ppl without any! So I am wondering for anyone who has actually tried the products do the creams work? What did you use or recommend? PERMANENT REMOVAL not just to cover up! I would love to avoid the lasers!! PLease only answer if you actually know. I have read plenty of info and I am skeptical!

Reports on cremes, here & elsewhere that don’t have ties to the companies that make the creams, support your skepticism. At best, it would seem, they fade the tattoo – and unevenly at that.

This makes sense, at least on the surface. The epidermis blocks all sorts of things from getting into your body – bacteria, dirt, etc – as well as keeping things inside there – blood, tissues, and tattoos. Crossing that barrier is possible but fraught with peril. How do you design a chemical that attacks only the tattoo ink, already encapsulated under the skin, without affecting other parts of the body? Even a mild reaction could be devastating.

If you want real removal, it looks like laser is your best & only bet barring excision. In both cases there is the risk of scarring or at least some evidence that something was once there.

I have a few tattoos I would like to remove, various colors and the like. I have done laser tatoo removal and it works, but is extremley painful… Looking for an alternitive. (Other than not getting them in the 1st place.)

Wrecking Balm does not
-laser removal is the only way

I have been researching tatoo removal for several years, I have not seen good results. There seems to be a lot of scarring and in some cases the tatoo is never completely removed after many sessions. I am familiar with laser are there andy other methods out there?

Are there any new methods out there that have proved to be better than others?

How should I go about finding a reputable doctor?
I sefinately do not want to tatoo over it. I hate tatoos for me and this was something I did 12years ago and regret.
Also has anyone seen the results of the wreckeningbalm product?
I appreciate the answers but again I do not want coverups done. The pain and the cost are worth it to me to have this done if I can find a good way to do it. Thanks again.
Also the tattoo I have is very large and is one my arm, I have actually seem a few very good artist to see what might be done and they have all said it would need to be twice as large, that is why I don’t want coverups.

i think that because the skin has been damaged, a scar will be there.. get it removed and use one of those scarring creams..

Does anyone have any info on tatoo removal that may be useful?

Methods of Tattoo Removal

There are several excellent methods of tattoo removal available today. The method that the physician chooses will depend upon the size of the tattoo and its location as well as the length of time it has been on the skin. How the patient heals may also be a factor in the decision.

Excision

Another popular method of tattoo removal especially when the dyed area is small is by excision. The advantage of this method is that the entire tattoo can be removed. With larger tattoos, however, it may be necessary to excise in stages, removing the center of it initially and the sides at a later date.
Excision involves an injection of a local anesthetic to numb the area after which the tattoo is removed surgically. The edges are then brought together and sutured. With this procedure, there is minimal bleeding which is easily controlled with electrocautery. In some cases involving large tattoos, a skin graft taken from another part of the body may be necessary.

Dermabrasion

Another method of tattoo removal is called dermabrasion in which a small portion of the tattoo is sprayed with a solution that freezes the area. The tattoo is then "sanded" with a rotary abrasive instrument causing the skin to peel. Because some bleeding is likely to occur, a dressing is immediately applied to the area.

Laser

In recent times, many physicians consider laser surgery one of the best methods of tattoo removal . Today, the Q-switched Nd:Yag, Q-switched Alexandrite and the Q-switched Ruby are among the most frequently used lasers today for the removal of unwanted tattoos. They are all employed in a similar manner. If necessary, a cream to numb the skin can be applied prior to the treatment. Pulses of light from the laser are directed onto the tattoo breaking up the tattoo pigment. Over the next several weeks the body’s scavenger cells remove the treated pigmented areas. More then one treatment is usually necessary to remove all of the tattoo.

Salabrasion

Salabrasion, a procedure which is centuries old, is a method still sometimes used today to remove tattoos. As with the other methods, a local anesthetic is used on and around the tattooed area after which a solution of ordinary tap water dipped in table salt is applied. An abrading apparatus such as the one used with dermabrasion, or an even simpler device such as a wooden block wrapped in gauze, is used to vigorously abrade the area. When the area becomes deep red in color, a dressing is applied.

What Results Can Be Expected?

Regardless of which method of tattoo removal is used, some scarring or color variations are likely to remain. Healing time varies depending upon the size and depth of the tattoo, the proce-dure used and the patient’s healing process. It is important for the patient to discuss with the physician the various procedures, how they are performed, and the probable results. Care of the treated area must also be discussed.

Does it completely remove the tatoo or does it leave a stain look?

You will always see something there; it will never look like your virgin skin again. Do not buy into tattoo fade creams or anything else like that. And laser removal is very painful and very expensive and takes a very long time.

I just completed esthetics school and I want to know if anyone has any experience in laser training for hair removal, tatoo removal, spider veins, etc.
I am trying to find a school or training program (perferrably) for laser cosmetic procedures. I am having trouble finding one that isn’t $10,000. Any suggestions?

Yes. I actually did laser training first and then decided to go to esthetics school. My state has no requirements for laser, it just happened to get me into skin care as a whole.
