Tattoo Removal Creams

January 25th, 2010

Why use laser therapy or surgical excision when you can eliminate a tattoo with some tattoo removal cream? The market has recently been flooded by a huge number of topical products that claim to remove tattoos, but their efficiency is truly limited. The tattoo pigment is usually located below the superficial skin layer which prevents it from wearing off with the exfoliation of the dead skin cells. Yet, this is not the case, and most tattoos are made at the level of the deep dermal layers where they become permanent.

A tattoo removal cream exposes the skin to an advanced level of chemical exfoliation, meaning that it interacts with the skin structure in the attempt to break up the tattoo ink. Side effects and discomforts sometimes accompany the use of a tattoo removal creams, and this usually happens because the main ingredient of such products is a form of acid. Itching and tingling are normal in the area where you apply the tattoo removal cream, but with the use of a soothing balm, you can easily find alleviation.

If the tattoo removal cream comes with a kit, it will most certainly contain a massager or some small item to help you spread the ointment evenly. This type of application is considered superior to rubbing the cream in the skin with the fingers. A tattoo removal cream will start to show results within six weeks from the beginning of the treatment, but depending on the complexity of the tattoo, it may take up to six months before the ink is broken.

As for efficiency ratings, lots of products are reviewed as completely useless. Efficiency at this level only consists of a fading of the tattoo, which could make it easier to mask. Then, it is also important to carefully choose the product to apply on the skin, because it should carry an FDA certification as proof of its safety. Deep tissue damage, allergies, rashes and even scars could result from the use of some low quality chemical.

Read the list of ingredients of any tattoo removal cream that claims to contain botanic ingredients. Orange peel, aloe vera and rosemary leaf are common examples of natural ingredients used by some manufacturers. Such a tattoo removal cream will have very few side effects and a lower toxicity.
