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.

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.
