Tattoo removal
Although no one should go into a tattoo thinking
they can just remove it later, it is still a reality. In this article,
we will cover a few different methods
of tattoo removal and the risks.
Tattooing in of itself, is meant to be permanent,
for various reasons people still turn to a physician to get tattoo
removal.
Tattoo removal has become more successful recently, in most cases
however there are still risks of scarring and color variations.
The many risk factors vary from size, location, and the personal
healing process of the person. Tattoos preformed by a trained tattoo
artist may be easier to remove, since the ink is more evenly distributed
in the skin, a tattoo that is older in age may be more difficult
to remove than a newer tattoo.
The most common methods of tattoo removal are:
*Excision: The method of excision
involves an injection of local anesthetics to numb
the area, after which the tattoo is removed surgically.
The edges are then brought together and sewn together. This method
works better on smaller tattoos, as larger tattoos may require skin
grafts to be taken from another part of the body
*Dermabrasion: is the
method of tattoo removal, in which a small portion
of the tattoo is sprayed with a solution that freezes the area.
The tattoo is then sanded with a rotary abrasive instrument causing
peeling.
*Laser removal: is considered
one of the best methods of tattoo removal. The process is fairly
simple, they will use a cream to numb the skin if necessary, otherwise
it is done without anything. Pulses of light from the laser are
directed onto the tattoo, which in turn breaks up the pigment.
The treatment is required usually more than once to prove successful.
It is also important to realize that not all pigments will break
up properly under the laser.
*Salabrasion: is a procedure
in which the skin is sloughed off with a solution of ordinary tap
water and table salt. The same type of rotary abrasive instrument
as in Dermabrasion is used in this process, to vigorously strip
the area of skin
The results will vary from treatment to treatment, however you
can expect some scarring and color variations.
Healing time will vary depending on the type of removal. It is important
to discuss the risks with your physician before proceeding with
any treatment
