How to remove a tattoo? Laser tattoo removal

In his youth, many of us dream of getting a tattoo. Some even dared to do so. But what looks stylish on the girl, sometimes not quite appropriate for an adult woman. Tattooing is not always successfully fit into the image, and the withering skin contours are often blurred, losing its appeal.

Solve the problem can be - in the arsenal of modern cosmetology are many different ways to remove permanent image. True, this would require a lot of time and money, and patience. After all, remove a tattoo is much harder than it acquire.




Methods of removing tattoos

One of the most ancient tribal ways of information is called camouflage. Strictly speaking, the pattern is not removed, and artfully disguise, causing the surface contours of the old pigments skin color. Disadvantages are obvious: in? First, the procedure is quite painful in? Second, completely remove the tattoo is practically impossible. Camouflage is mainly used for the correction of small-sized tattoos - solid "canvas" using it to hide will not succeed.
The classic way to remove the boring picture - excision of skin area. Get rid of the tattoo can be a single session. But ... on the skin scars, so in open areas of the body this technique, of course, apply not worth it.

Cryosurgery is used for drawing the attention of permanent liquid nitrogen. This method is today used quite often, though, like previous ones, this procedure is very painful, and in addition, takes a lot of time. Go to the tattooed area is pressed against the fabric soaked in liquid nitrogen - so long, until a crust of ice. After a few hours tissue subjected to a deep freeze, swell and may form a specific bubble, and after two or three days in its place appears a dry crust. A week later, it disappears, revealing a pink scar. Eventually he posvetleet and become virtually invisible.

When electrocoagulation image sear electrodes using high frequency current. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. As is the case with cryosurgery, the skin formed a dry scab, which is seven - ten days is eliminated. Scars after coagulation - a very common phenomenon. The risk of scarring can be reduced if we use a special healing creams and ointments. Another trouble that can happen - burns to the skin during the procedure. But if a doctor spends it wisely, this should not happen.

Finally, the last one, which has become a popular technique - dermabrasion, or skin resurfacing. With the help of diamond cutter layers of the epidermis that contain pigment, consistently scraped. Sometimes, for a complete tattoo removal requires two or three sessions, and the healing process in this case could take several months. The main disadvantage of grinding is that it reduces the protective properties of skin, opening the gate for the entry of disease-tvornyh bacteria. So we have to wear a blindfold and regularly treat the damaged area antiseptics. Unfortunately, after dermabrasion often formed scars, get rid of them very difficult. Therefore, the method requires not only high professionalism of the cosmetology, and scrupulous implementation of its recommendations to the patient.

Laser removal of tattoos (tattoo removal laser)
Unfortunately, all traditional methods of information, tattoos are not perfect - they are quite traumatic, and in most cases after the procedure scars. Laser technique - the more advanced. The most common - Selective fotokavitatsiya (photothermolysis). Modern lasers send a beam very precisely, selectively affecting only the tattooed skin and without affecting healthy tissue. In addition, they penetrate quite deeply into the skin and therefore effective even in cases where the tattoo was applied correctly (ie, pigments penetrated into the dermis).

The procedure of laser tattoo removal is also quite painful. If the area is drawing a very small - the process may take five - ten minutes, in which case it will be enough anesthetic cream. With extensive tattoos are usually used local anesthesia. Unfortunately, in a single session to reduce the figure does not succeed, will require at least two or three treatments. After laser treatment on skin can form blisters, passing for three to four weeks. Now cosmetic use several types of lasers based on the principle of selective fotokavitatsii. Ruby is widely used to remove green, blue and black pigment, located in the upper layers of the epidermis. Deep tattoo with it removed badly - to penetrate the dermal layer, is required to increase the intensity of the light beam, which can lead to scar formation and persistent disorders of pigmentation. In addition, the beam from a ruby laser operates slowly enough so that the reduction of large images may take a long time.

Alexandrite laser has a similar mechanism of action, and copes with shallow dark tattoos and graffiti. It works much faster, but, alas, has the same side effects. Both of these laser powerless over red and red pigments.

Laser is the latest generation - Neodymium - considered to be universal. It operates by several waves of different lengths and therefore a successful conclusion as dark, and colors (red, yellow, green) tattoo. In addition, he is able to remove pigment from the deeper layers of skin without damaging the tissue and does not lead to scarring. Of the downsides of such effects may be noted perhaps that the high cost of the procedure.

Along with light lasers to remove tattoos and use laser vaporization or ablation removal of the picture. For complex terms hides the usual evaporation area of the skin with a laser beam. This method is fairly narrow specialization. Such lasers are successfully addressed only with a professionally made tattoos, when the pigment is located only in the epidermis - the most superficial layer of skin. In this case, the effect will be excellent. If the tattoo was done by an amateur, and lies quite deep, the laser can only hurt - treated areas will be a long time to heal, bringing considerable discomfort. To completely restore the skin will take several weeks, and the place will figure quite unsightly scars.
