What is a tattoo?
Tattoos are one of the ways in which we humans strive — or buy — to decorate ourselves. It is simply a marking on the skin, made in indelible ink, when the top layer of the dermis is broken or torn. There was a time when all the tattoos were put on with needles; Nowadays an electric car is often used.
Tattoos have been around - literally - for thousands of years, starting with a 5,200-year-old fully frozen mummy, called The Iceman. While many people think about being a prisoner, sailors, gangs and hippies when they think about tattoos, some cultures still use them today as an important tool for socializing, such as facial and body taminae Ta Moko Maori.
Regardless of whether a tattoo is taken off completely, depends on many factors, including how big the tattoo is, what type and color of pigment were used, professionalism of the person who created it, age of tattoo and individual approach, # 39. Natural color skin.
Types of tattoo removal
Three types of tattoo removal are most commonly used. They are:
Surgical removal
dermabrasion
Laser tattoo removal
Surgical removal. This type was the most common and is still used in cases where the tattoo seems difficult to remove, or will be best removed surgically by a medical professional. Your surgeon will cut off the offensive pattern, then sew up the wound with sutures.
In areas where the tattoo is very large, a skin graft from another part of the body will be used. There will be scars and, of course, the risk of infection will be greater. However, if a tattoo is relatively small, many people say that it is the best method to use because the results are the best.
Dermabrasion. It sounds, perhaps more painfully than it actually is. This usually works with a special hand-held device that causes the upper and middle layers of the skin to “polish”, revealing clean, untainted skin. Sometimes caustic acid, sandpaper or salt (called salabrasion) is used instead (do not try this at home!). Not recommended for older tattoos, facial tattoos and non-professional tattoos.
The disadvantages of this method are that it can lead to more scarring, more painful and can cause discoloration or infection of the skin, which can make healing more difficult and affect the final result. However, it is cheaper than the laser method (see below) and can work well with professional tatami - this is because a professional tattoo artist will (hopefully) distribute the pigment that will be used evenly.
Laser tattoo removal. The most frequently used technique today. Pigments in a tattoo are aimed at using high-intensity laser beams. The laser will “interfere” with the ink, and ultimately it will be destroyed and harmless to the body. People say that the procedure is not strictly painless, but that it looks like a series of elastic bands, slightly unpleasant on your skin.
Depending on the tattoo, etc. For the most effective results, several procedures may be required. People with better immune systems and lighter skin tones will react better, like red, black, dark blue and dark orange tattoos. The depth and type of tattoo, and not just the color, will also play a role in the ejection hole.
* Please note that some companies also advertise IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, tattoo removal systems. They are advertised as softer, but there is no scientific evidence as such to indicate whether such a system works. Similarly, “soft” Q-switched YAG lasers are also used, but experts in this field say that high power is needed for the right effect, so they should also be avoided.
