Has anyone ever used the tatto removal cream "Wrecking Balm"?

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

I just want to know has anyone actually used this cream and does it work to remove a majority of the tattoo….have you experienced any problems such as skin problems or otherwise?
IF you weren’t trying to be rude you wouldn’t have said anything in the first place!!!

It MIGHT work on some homebrew or jailhouse tattoos but not on one done professionally with a real tattoo gun and proper inks. If it did a lot of tattoo removal places would be out of business.

What tattoo removal products work besides laser surgery?

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

The real deal stuff if anyone can help me.
stuff like Tatt-Off or Tatt- Be -Gone.
Something other than wrecking balm they want credit cards. I don’t own any.

They really don’t work. As I have often said here, it is my opinion that the idea is to make you spend enough money and get sick of how laborious the process is to just give up on it before you discover it is worthless.

At best you get a little lightening but I think that is more because it makes the outer layer of skin more cloudy.

Here is a link regarding this..

How much just TATOO REMOVAL COST?

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

My tatoo is 6 1inch LETTERS. Whats the average laser removal? And is there any other ways to get them REMOVED?
AND HoW MANY SESSIONS? MY TAT is 5MONTHS OLD

The only way to get a real answer on this is to find and visit a salon or clinic in your area and get an appraisal done. Different salons vary greatly – I’ve heard of some who do sessions for as low as $50 or as high as several hundred.

Is your tattoo all black? Different colors will react to the treatment differently. Blue and red I’ve heard are particularly difficult.

Are you planning a coverup? Many people will reduce the visibility of their unwanted tattoo just enough to put something over it. For most people, no quantity of treatment sessions will completely erase a tattoo. Generally speaking, I hear people seem to average between 3 and six sessions.

Since the tattoo is small, you could consider just getting it cut out of your skin. This is again something most people do when they have a coverup planned, as obviously you will have a scar afterwards.

Tattoo removal is not easy or cheap. I would suggest caution before requesting a coverup in case it, too, becomes something you don’t like a few months later. Perhaps get the treatment and then save the spot for something later down the road?

Good luck.

What are some good drugstore ACNE removal face washes, cleansers, etc?

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

I have african american skin and I have pimples on my chin and i don’t know why. I change my pillowcases every week and i don’t touch my face at all, so I don’t know how people think its a habit. What are some acne removal face washes that get rid of them. Oh, I have normal- oily (nose) skin.

You have acne because of your hormones. The other stuff (not changing pillow cases or picking at your skin just makes it worse).

I find that non-ance cleansers work best. I know that sounds backwards, but that’s what finally worked for me. I just started using the normal options instead of the "acne" options. I think the acne products dried out my skin, causing my body to produce more oil to replace the dry skin and causing more acne because of that.

I like Olay’s cleansers – they have a pore refining scrub cleanser that is nice when I want to remove dead skin and get a smooth surface. But their regular cream cleansers work great as well!

I suggest just using an acne spot treatment when needed – like a salicylic acid spot treatment.

Can someone help me find someone who does laser scar removal in the cincinnati ohio area please?

Has anyone tried Wrecking Balm tattoo removal, or is better to stick with professional?

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

I have a friend that got a stupid tattoo when he was in prison. He needs to get this removed.Has anyone heard about this wrecking balm, or is he better off doing it professionally? Also, isn’t alot easier to get a jail tattoo removed then a professional because the ink is alot cheaper?

These removal cremes, lotion, and potions simply do not remove tattoos. They are very expensive and they stay in business because people spend hundreds before they simply give up. You friend needs laser, even if only to lighten it enough for a really nice cover up. Prison tattoos generally do come out a bit easier, therefore quicker and less expensive.

If this prison tattoo is at all gang related, many laser places do them for free.

How do hair removal creams / shower gels work?

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

I mean what is the science behind it and how does it actually remove the hair? I don’t want to wax because I always end up having ingrowing hair. Will hair removal cream also cause ingrowing hair? What are the negative side effects that hair removal cream has because I read that it screws up your skin?

First the science bit!

Hair removal creams (or depilatories) contain chemicals that break down keratin, the principal protein that forms hair strands. Any hair exposed to it will effectively disintergrate so it can be wiped away. It doesn’t get rid of hair below the skin, so is not as long-lasting as waxing, but the new growth is softer than if you shave.

It is unlikely to cause ingrowing hairs, because the hair is only removed to skin level.

Always do a patch test first if you are worried about sensitivity and do not leave on for longer than recommended.

As long as you don’t have an allergy to it it will actually leave your skin very soft because they contain moisturisers.

I get ezcema so not all creams suit me but I find Veet In Shower works great and is faster than waxing or shaving. Give it a go!

Can you use permanent tattoo ink to draw a temporary tattoo? How long will it last?

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Can I use permanent tattoo ink with a airbrush or temporary tattoo pen? Will permanent ink last longer than the temporary ink?

I know that unless I use proper machine, it won’t be permanent.

temp or permanent ink on the exterior of skin will come off…
Yes…duration depends on location, hey, its temporary.

How much is tatto removal surgery?

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

I want to remove a 2inch x 4inch tattoo. It a tribal scorpian and it is black. In canadian $.

Thanks

The costs of tattoo removal, primarily depends upon the type of procedure. Unfortunately, in any case, the costs of having a tattoo removed are a lot more than the costs of getting the tattoo. Costs can vary depending upon the size of the tattoo. For laser removal, according to the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, treatment varies from $100 for a small, single-color tattoo with removal in one to two sessions to $500 per treatment to remove larger, multicolored body art in as many as eight visits. And these costs are per session. Costs also vary depending on whether anesthesia is used or not, the geographic location of the procedure, and other associated costs.

Does removing a tattoo with laser surgery hurt?
