How to reduce a tattoo. Is it possible to remove a tattoo without a scars

Many parents with children in adolescence have many disputes on various issues. One of the most relevant - a grown child wants to show his individuality and make a tattoo on the body. Parents discourage because they do not want a guy or a girl to spoil their body. But the children do not listen and do as they wanted, not thinking about what will happen in 5-7 years.

A few years later, and many need much more time to understand and realize their act, many office ladies (and not only) are horrified to note how vulgar the tattoo became. Moreover, the drawing turned pale and broke a little. What to do? It is still possible to fix the situation, then the idea comes that you can delete a tattoo and get rid of acquired complexes forever.

Do tattoos are reduced now?

Even 10 years ago, no one could have thought that you can get rid of an unsuccessful tattoo quickly and without consequences. Now we live in a developed country, use mobile phones, we have digital television and many other benefits, including high -quality medicine with modern equipment. The best way to get rid of tattoos is to remove the drawing with a special device. This operation "Farewell, Tattoo" is called. A little funny, but this is only at first, in fact, everything is much more serious, because it is not possible to reduce the tattoo with a laser in every case.

We plunge into history. It turns out that for the first time, doctors tried to remove an unsuccessful tattoo on the human body with a laser at the end of the last century - in 1960! The devices were then “cruel”, they literally burned the paint from under the skin, leaving ugly scars and scars. Some medical workers dubbed such a difficult operation “Explosion under the skin”. It was painful, and the result was not very attractive, so the method was not in demand.

A little later, literally a few decades later, a laser apparatus was improved in the USA, which in just a few seconds penetrated under the skin and neutralized the pigment located there. This laser is called neodymium and is currently widely used by cosmetologists in order to get rid of unwanted tattoos.

How to remove a laser tattoo

Now the popularity of tattoos only increases, especially among the young generation. Guys and even girls try to show their individuality and decorate the body with various drawings. Well, if the master came across an experienced one, and he used quality materials in his work. But all the time we see the unsuccessful work of self-taught masters who trained on voluntary "canvases". At first, the tattoo does not seem to look bad, a little vague, but the master claims that after complete healing, the pattern will appear and will be clear. Months and even years pass, but the tattoo remains vague and inexpressive. If by that time a person has matured to get rid of a drawing on the skin, then the best way is to remove a laser. Where to reduce the tattoo? Of course, in a specialized institution. The specialist will inspect and offer short ways to get rid of tattoos. By the way, even the best doctor cannot guarantee 100% success, so you should be ready for this. The remote tattoo turns down, the contours will not be clear, perhaps the pigment will go almost completely.

The most effective method of removing tattoos is using a laser. The specialist evaluates the area of \u200b\u200bwork and appoints several sessions of the acceptance of “rays”, dividing by 2.3 or more visits. The interval is the same - every 2 weeks.

How the procedure is carried out:

•   The skin area is treated with an antiseptic;
• then a special cream is applied, it relieves pain (this is local anesthesia);
• depending on the statute of limitations of the tattoo, the specialist sets up the laser apparatus and directs the beam to the area that needs to be freed from the subcutaneous pigment. During the procedure, healthy areas of the skin are not affected;
• the session lasts from a few seconds to 2 minutes. During the laser operation, unpleasant sensations in the form of burning and tingling on the skin are possible;
• after completing the tattoo removal session, the specialist applies a soothing cream to the skin;
• immediately after the procedure, the skin can turn red, but this phenomenon does not last long. Literally after 7-10 minutes, everything goes away.

As a tattoo “behaves” after the first procedure: the same remains, a slight change in the color of the pigment. It all depends on the “age” of the drawing on the skin and the depths of the introduced pigment.

If you made yourself a tattoo of eyebrows and the master “flooded” the eyebrow, or did not like the shape, then 2 weeks after the procedure, when the edge heals and all crusts, you can remove the unsuccessful tattoo with a laser. The fresh tattoo is faster to rays and after the first session you can see the result: at first the edge changes in color, it lasts several hours, then the pigment gradually brightens. After 2 weeks, you can repeat the procedure and after another 2 weeks to fix the result.

Laser removal of tattoos is currently the most effective and painless way. The principle of operation of the modern laser apparatus remains the same, the rays instantly penetrate under the skin (everything happens so quickly that the skin is not injured) and destroy pigments. The paint breaks up into thousands of the smallest microparticles. They are gradually excreted naturally from the body.

If you compare laser removal in pain, then you should not be so afraid of the laser, because the procedure is tolerant and almost painless. And when compared with the fact that many had to endure when stuffing tattoos, then the laser removal procedure is trifles.

What should be considered: if you can endure the session without anesthesia, try it because the cream reduces effectiveness.

About the number of sessions: everything is individual here, because the laser removal of tattoos does not know which master used the paint. If the paint was of high quality, then more procedures will be needed, if cheap, then it is possible that 2-3 visits will be enough.

Is the tattoo color so important? Yes, and this also affects the final result. If in his work the master used blue paint, as well as black, then say goodbye to the tattoo faster, if orange or red, then more sessions will be needed. The most difficult thing is green paint. Experts immediately warn that the green pigment can stay in its place and only barely brighten.

To completely get rid of tattoos, it will take several months. Even if after 5-7 sessions on the body the outlines of the drawing remain, the rest is the work of your body. He must independently remove the pigment remaining under his skin. It takes about 6 months.

How to remove tattoo without scars

Many people ask the following question: “How to remove a tattoo”, so that it doesn’t hurt, and there was an effect, and so that there are no scars left? This method exists and it also laser removal. Only here you need to understand that the procedure is performed and the result can only be on good equipment. We are talking about a laser apparatus of US production. If the cosmetologist works on the Chinese, then it is difficult to achieve the perfect result on such an apparatus. Perhaps almost complete deletion, but the pattern will be noticeable on the skin.

This is important: if you decide to remove the unsuccessful permanent makeup from your lips, then the color of the Bordeaux pigment and all the shades of pink after work by the laser will become gray. This effect will disappear only after 10-14 days.

Remember that after removing the laser tattoo, you cannot substitute delicate skin under straight sunlight. It is forbidden to visit the solarium and sunbathe on the beach. Even if you use protective equipment, it is advisable to limit the sun stay during high activity hours. Otherwise, burns and pigmentation in these areas cannot be avoided.

How to reduce a tattoo in other ways

There are other ways by which you can get rid of an undesirable tattoo, but they are not as effective as laser removal.

Let us consider in more detail each method:

• surgical excision - with a sharp scalpel, the surgeon cuts the upper area on the skin along with the pattern, and then puts the seams. After healing, a scar remains on the skin from the reduced tattoo;
• coagulation (current of different frequencies is supplied). After the procedure, a thin and smooth area of \u200b\u200bthe skin is still formed at the tattoo site, there are no scars on it, but the scar remains. This area of \u200b\u200bthe skin does not sunbathe;
• the mechanical method (dermabise) is the worst and most dangerous, because the tattoo is polished with a special device. The unofficial name of this method is “bloody”, after the procedure, ugly scars on the skin and scars remain;
• freezing the skin with liquid nitrogen (cryosurgery). After processing with nitrogen, over time, a solid crust is formed at the processing site, which after a couple of weeks exfoliates with the pigment. An ugly scar appears in this place.

There is another method that cannot be called a complete elimination of tattoos - this is camouflage. Still, this is a good alternative to replace the old drawing and fill a new one in its place.
