Removing Tattoos - The Future is Now!

Tattoos today are still all the rage with not only young adults

, but older people as well. Having a cool tattoo where everyone can see it may define a person's character, or just show the world that getting ink done is an awesome way to coolness. Sporting a tattoo for years is quite possible, but what happens when a person gets to the age that the ink is uncharacteristic or inconvenient?

A person that has a tattoo and wishes for it to be removed can do this in a number of different ways. Some creams that exist on the market say that they can completely remove tattoos from your body. However, this process can take up to a year and if you have very deep, darkened, or colored tattoos, it may not even work at all. In addition, most of these types of cream contain Hydroquinone which is said to cause certain kinds of cancer.

Some of these creams that will attempt to remove tattoos have in them skin lying agents. When ever this lysing agent is applied to the skin, it will destroy skin cells and cause them to peel. When this method is applied several times the tattoo will be removed from the killing and peeling of your skin cells. However, a person undergoing this treatment may even experience scarring or even burns. Does it seem intelligent to you to dump acid on your skin to remove a tattoo? I think not.

Surgical removal of tattoos is another way to eliminate the ink, but scarring of the skin is the usual result. The entire skin layers are removed, and living tissue from another part of the body is placed there, as in a skin graft. This can be very uncomfortable, and the healing turn-around is lengthy. There is also the threat of infection, and scarring is always the result.

Furthermore, one of the most well known methods to remove a tattoo or tattoos is by using lasers. Whenever the laser hits the inked area of your skin it starts to break down all binding agents that keep the ink visible on your skin, which is then absorbed into your body. This method will surely outshine any cream that bleaches your skin since lasers will take it out completely. There is some discomfort, but the treatments are usually just a few minutes. In some cases pain numbing creams can be applied.

The laser tattoo removal can be done until the ink is completely removed. Depending on the size and amount of ink in the tattoo, the treatments are deigned to slowly fade the tattoo out of the skin. A certain wavelength is used for different colors, so the tattoo can be of any type. Darker inks require more treatments, but a person can expect anywhere from four to up to ten treatments for removal. Cost is in a range dependent on the clinic doing the removal process, but prices, in the extreme, can be around $200 for each treatment.

There are lots of people who get tattoos removed and believe that it is worth all the trouble. This will always be a personal choice since some people wish to remove a persons name or a tattoo around the neck or ankles. Most tattoos can be removed by laser surgery.
