Reasons You Should Do A Tattoo Removal
The fear of having permanent tattoo is no longer true. Tattoo removal is an available option for you in case you have changed your mind or have a genuine need to remove your tattoo.
What scenarios may merit tattoo removal? First, if your tattoo is reminiscent of a past romance and you now have a current love life, then removing the tattoo is a gesture of courtesy to your new relationship. Second, if you find it difficult to get your desired employment because of a tattoo, then you might consider having it removed. Sometimes, your personality simply grows out of a particular tattoo and you might find it no longer relevant to have one.
Your values will now determine whether or not you would want to keep your tattoo. Options are available for you.
The Medlite Q-switched Nd-yag Laser tattoo removal applies precise laser energy to penetrate through skin, down to the ink and break it down. This usually requires 8-10 sessions for a regular-sized tattoo, but those with more colours and bigger size may require more. The pain associated with laser tattoo removal is usually very bearable. You can go back to work right away after each session.
Dermabrasion is an old technique for tattoo removal, although this is a very crude, very painful and has a much higher risk of scarring. With dermabrasion, a “sanding” process is done to scrape off the layer of the skin that has the tattoo and to allow the skin to heal and grow again. This is not recommended anymore because laser tattoo removal is far superior to dermabrasion.
Cosmetic camouflage is a temporary measure to “cover-up” the tattoo and is considered an alternative to laser removal.
