Let's face it:Tattoos are becoming more and more a part of our lives, having overcome the previous negative public opinion. Moreover, tattooing has become a craze: 15-year-old girls do them, 30-year-old women do them, ladies of Balzac age do them. No one is surprised by all sorts of butterflies, dragons and flowers on different parts of the body of the fairer sex. Be that as it may, many girls who get tattoos are either disappointed in this idea or are unhappy with the result. And then they face a natural question: how to remove a tattoo from the body without damaging the skin? And in general, is it possible to make sure that not a trace of a tattoo remains on the body?
Barbarian methods of tattoo removal
The thing is that you can remove a tattoo at homeconditions so that there are no traces left on the skin, it is impossible. Sadly, you will not be able to hover over the tattoo, right-click and press “delete”. Even if you have just applied the tattoo and the paint has not yet been completely absorbed, it is too late to rub and bleach the drawing. Otherwise, all you will earn is a dirty, smeared spot on the skin. It is better to walk around with any tattoo, even with a less than successful one, than with such “beauty” on the body. Although - there are several “home” methods for removing tattoos from the body, and all of them leave terrible scars and marks on the body that will be present on the body for life. Among them, there are two most popular methods - a thermal burn using potassium permanganate and a combination of thermal and chemical burns using alkali from laundry soap. The essence of both methods is that after a burn, an ulcer forms on the body, along with which the entire area of skin affected by the tattoo comes off. These absolutely brutal, home-made methods are very dangerous for the skin and health in general, their consequences are subject to treatment by surgeons and dermatologists. Moreover, it is not a fact that after such terrible torture the tattoo will come off completely. But the fact that you can disfigure an area of skin is an indisputable fact!
Mechanical method of tattoo removal
Besides home methods, remove tattooYou can do it in the same tattoo parlor, or in a beauty salon, or in a medical clinic of aesthetic surgery. Believe me, getting rid of a tattoo costs much more money, time and effort than applying it. However, if you have firmly decided to take this step, we present you with several modern methods of removing tattoos from the body. In the vast expanses of our vast homeland, the mechanical method of tattoo removal is most common. Its essence lies in the fact that under local anesthesia, the patient removes the area of the skin on which the drawing is located. This is done with a special cutter with an abrasive surface, or a stone with a diamond coating. First, the epidermis is removed, then the rest of the skin layer by layer - until the entire tattoo is removed. Of course, at the site of the operation there remains an impressive swelling, and after - a huge sore. The most unpleasant moment here is that the skin at the site of the removed tattoo must be kept sterile until it is completely restored. The thing is that the wound after such an operation heals for a very long time (a couple of months), and therefore the skin in this place is at risk of infection. Whether scars and marks will remain in the place of the former tattoo depends on how professional the specialist performing the operation is and whether you were able to protect the wound from infection.
Laser method of tattoo removal
A much safer and more successful methodgetting rid of tattoos is laser removal. Just a few years ago, such operations left very noticeable marks on the skin, because the principle of action was to apply a thermal burn to the desired place. After the skin died, the tattoo itself disappeared along with the dry crust of the sore. The modern method of laser tattoo removal was invented in 2004 and it is seriously different from earlier methods. The fact is that scientists have taught the laser to act not on the entire area of the skin, but selectively - specifically, only on the coloring pigment. As a result, some of the paint granules evaporate, and some disintegrate into smaller particles, which are later excreted from the body on their own. This method is called the selective photocavitation method. However, if you think that in one visit to the surgeon you will get rid of an unsuccessful tattoo forever, then you are deeply mistaken. Sometimes it takes a whole year to get rid of this trouble: first, the tattoo becomes a little dull, then it gradually begins to discolor - and so on until the drawing disappears completely. Moreover, the final result of photocavitation depends on the following points:
So, this is selective photocavitationthe answer to the question of whether it is possible to remove a tattoo without leaving deep, non-healing marks on the skin. So far, this is the only available method for safely removing a tattoo from the body. The fashion for tattoos came to us from the United States, but few people know that about 50% of those who have tattoos regret having once made a “mistake of youth” and dream of getting rid of their tattoos. And if you have decided to get a tattoo at all costs, then approach this issue very carefully, starting from the choice of the design and ending with the professionalism of the artist. Otherwise, you will not be able to avoid unnecessary pain, money and nerves.
