Tattoo Removal

There are several options to choose from for tattoo removal.  The cost  for the

various methods vary greatly depending on the procedure you choose.  Tattoo

removal has come a long ways over the past couple years providing more

choices.  A dermatologist can help you in your decision and provide valuable

information  such as any associated risks.

The following are some of the choices available for tattoo removal.  A method

called dermabrasion is a procedure where the skin is sanded removing the surface

and middle layers and the ink of the tattoo.  In the excision method

the tattoo or tattoo area is cut out of your skin and the surrounding skin is then

sutured together.  Small tattoos or small areas are done at one time and a scar

will be left with this method.  There are also creams/rubs that can be used

to eventually fade your tattoo as well as laser tattoo removal.

It is a good idea to spend the time to research the various options for tattoo

removal and be well informed of the procedure you choose.  Depending on

several factors of your particular tattoo healing times and removal results will vary.
