Methods for Teen Tattoo Removal

Though tattooing is extremely popular among young people (who are probably fascinated by celebrities wearing tattoos), it may happen in future that a mermaid or a scribble on a 40-year-old’s shoulder looks absurd and prevents from pursuing a good career or establishing a family. That’s why many want to remove their teen tattoos and search for right methods for teen tattoo removal.

All methods of tattoo removal can be divided into selective and non-selective. Within a selective method only due is removed and skin sells are not damaged. This allows to avoid scars, inflammation and other complications.

Non-selective methods mean the removal of the whole skin layer where the dye is concentrated. That’s why such methods are very painful, and a long recovery period is required, and they don’t guarantee 100% result. These methods are the following: camouflage, surgical, coagulation and mechanical method.

Let’s have a closer look at them. So, the essence of camouflage method is masking of an old tattoo with the help of a new one which color of dye should be as closer as possible to natural skin tone. This variant is appropriate when removing small and pallid tattoos.

Surgical method means cutting out the dyed skin layer. Coagulation is a consecutive cauterization of skin layers with the help of lasers, high-frequency currents, infrared rays or chemicals. And mechanical method or dermabrasion is the removal of skin layers with special cutters or brushes until the pigment is deleted. With all these methods scars are unavoidable and pigment might not be removed completely.

Methods for Teen Tattoo Removal

The most effective method for teen tattoo removal is when a selective laser ray functions selectively - goes through the skin cells and is absorbed by a pigment. For each color you need a separate laser ray. Black and blue colors are easy to destroy, the most difficult it is with the reds.

The usage of selective laser technology has its self-evident advantages: the skin isn’t damaged, it doesn’t leave scars and you have no risk to infect an open wound. After a series of procedures your tattoo completely disappears. For the best result, it may take from 3 weeks to 12 months depending on your tattoo’s size and type. All the possible side effects e.g. hyperpigmentation are temporary and pass within 3 or 4 months.

The last method will certainly require a lot of money but nevertheless people choose it as the own beauty plays for los of people a far more important role than money.

What Tattoo Lovers Should Know About The Removal Of Tattoo?

CO2 laser tattoo removal
It was one of the first ways of the removal of tattoo. Its effect was the analogue to burning metal: this type of the tattoo removal causes thermal burn not only on the tattoo skin area but on the tissues with 3-5 times depth more than that of the tattoo one. It leaves a scar on the tattoo area. CO2 laser is the least “aesthetical” way of the tattoo removal but at the same time the scars left after it are smaller than those did after mechanical and chemical tattoo removal ways.

What Tattoo Lovers Should Know About The Removal Of Tattoo? Rubin and erbium lasers
Erbium and Rubin lasers effects don’t damage cutaneous covering because all the emanation energy is spent on thermal dye particle decomposition which is located under the skin. Laser applying warms those particles up to the temperature of thermal decomposition after which the dye partially becomes colourless and than decomposes. There is a real disadvantage in this way of the removal of tattoo. As the skin is transparent for this emanation the red erythrocyte color is also transparent and therefore red and green tattoo colors become also transparent.
For red color removal one can try lasers working on copper steams, which are very expensive that’s why they are scarcely widespread.

Photo activation
Photo activation effect is similar to Rubin and erbium laser ones but differs from them by its photo activators light flashes emanation specter. They are one thousand times wider than those of laser emanation. Therefore the quantity of energy taken up by dye mater particle is less. That’s why one needs to do a number of photo activation tattoo removals.
This way of tattoo removal feature is in the fact that the paler becomes tattoo dye the less light energy it becomes to take up and therefore tattoo is paling after every procedure.

Mechanical grinding
The most spare mechanical tattoo removal method is grinding which is made with the help of the drill and cutter. Tattoo skin areas are grinded but this place turns into noticeable scars. The process is done with local anesthesia.

Chemical method
One puts manganese solution onto the tattoo area, than moistens it and leaves for 1-4 hours. Manganese solution corrodes the skin up to sore formation. Than one moistens the removal area with water and waits until it heels. This type of the removal of tattoo leaves the most noticeable scars. Sometimes tattoo area is punctured by milk with Streptocid solution with the help of tattoo machine. The milk, carried into the skin causes festering in 2-3 days. The skin with dye rots away. In 2-3 weeks scarring begins.
