Tattoo removal is becoming increasingly popular, perhaps due to the increased number of people getting a tattoo. Removing a tattoo isn't an easy process and in some cases it may not even be a possibility. This article will examine tattoo removal creams and discuss their effectiveness.
Tattoo removal creams are often turned to because all other methods are too expensive, for example laser removal which is in the thousands. The cream has active ingredients which get to work breaking down the coloured pigments and over time will remove the tattoo.
There are some things to note when considering using this method of tattoo removal -
1) The colour of your tattoo will directly affect the removal time, for example green is often very difficult to remove and will require a program which lasts much longer.
2) Users with sensitive skin should do a skin test before starting on a program. There are many ingredients in the creams and it's important to establish whether you are allergic to any.
3) The amount of cream you need largely depends on the size of your tattoo, for a medium sized tattoo you will generally need a six month supply.
4) It does take time depending on the size of your tattoo and you must stay disciplined whilst on the course.
There are numerous published and unpublished documents relating to the effectiveness of tattoo removal creams and they have varied results. It's not that hard to understand why, not every tattoo is the same, some are bigger than others and some have many colours whilst others may just be one. Over 75% of the time, by week 24, tattoos are significantly faded and this suggests that more often than not, you will be able to remove your tattoo, no matter how big or small, with these creams.
We have already quickly touched upon the ingredients in tattoo removal creams and it is highly recommended that you do have a look as they are often criticized being secretive in their use.
Tattoo removal creams can be a cost effective choice when deciding how to remove your tattoo however it is necessary to take precautions against the ingredients. The advice would be to give it a go as everyone's results will be different.
