Does the TCA peel really work for tattoo removal?
I have a small tattoo on the side of my neck behind my ear and I’m trying to find information on the real accuracy of the TCA peel. I’ve looked into laser surgery and also Wrecking Balm, but I’m more interested in the peel. I don’t want to get a cover up tattoo so I’m hoping this will be a better alternative.
I would still recommend http://bit.ly/Wrecking_Balm even though you are wanting a peel. I had a small tattoo of an old boyfriend (don’t ask) near my neck and the balm system worked great without irritation. Just keep doing your research. Hope this helps. Tina

I honestly don’t know about the TCA peel, but I know this product called Vanish really works. My boyfriend had this large, pointless tattoo on his calf and he used it for about 2 months and it is very light now. The tattoo was black and red now the red is gone and the black is very faint.

The TCA peel probably won’t work because it only effects the superficial dermis and does not target the pigment of the tattoo.
Older methods that didn’t produce scarring include:
excising the tattoo and putting a skin graft on it
dermabrasion
Lasers are the safest and most effective way of removing tattoos even though they can cause skin discoloration.
