Traditional and New Tattoo Removals

By Paul Pugh

Although tattoos are thought out to be permanently inked in your skin, there are already procedures on tattoo removal that even dates back to ancient Egypt. Black and some colored inks can be removed completely. The pain a person may felt in tattoo removal is even greater than when it is applied. Tattoo removal procedures before laser treatments came were dermabrasion, salabrasion, cryosurgery and chemical peels.



Inks are permanently engraved in your body. It was made to be in your body forever; but what if you want to remove some of your tattoos, are there any ways to do that? Well, with the advent of technology you can now have semi-permanent tattoos. However, it is important to note that this new breed of tattoo removals won’t surface if not for the old ways of eradicating inks. Tattoo removal all started during the era of ancient Egypt.

Meanwhile, laser tattoo removal began in the late 1980s when pulsed lasers were developed and it was already reasonable to perform the medical procedure. The first tattoo removal made used Q-switched ruby laser. In 1991, the Q-switched neodymium laser was introduced and quickly became popular due to its versatility and effectiveness.

This procedure targets the tattoo pigment using short bursts of high intensity light from a laser. When the laser penetrates the skin, surrounding tissues are spared from any damage. Treatment may vary depending on the size, location, depth and color of the tattoo. Small to medium sized tattoos would take 10 to 30 minutes while larger inks take longer treatment.

A new method for tattoo removal is already out and it is called Magic Wand. The procedure entails using a piece of the provided wax paper and placing it over the tattoo. Afterwards, apply the heating element provided against the paper. Apply the cream immediately and wrap in bandages. The iron could not be removed for at least five minutes. The tattoo will be removed gradually, more or less in about 30 days depending on the size of the tattoo.
