How to Safely Remove Your Tattoo at Home

Health & Wellness, Men's Style

Tattoo Removal

You’ve been browsing the internet looking for home remedies to remove a tattoo. Maybe you’ve experienced a change in views that your tattoo reflects, or maybe your new workplace’s dress code is different than your previous one. Or maybe your tattoo reminds you of a bad memory like a past spouse you want to forget about.

If medical tattoo procedurals like laser, dermabrasion and surgical excision are just too extreme or expensive, take heart. There are a number of painless and effective ways to fade and remove your tattoo, all from the comfort of your own home.

Tattoo removal at home

According to the Mayo Clinic, laser treatment, surgical excision, and dermabrasion are the three most powerful ways of removing a tattoo. Unfortunately, these treatments are not only costly, they can also lead to nasty side effects such as scarring, bruising, burning, and discoloration of the skin post-treatment. While TCA creams are widely advertised as an effective tattoo removal method, it’s important to understand that trichloroacetic acid (TCA), which is commonly used in spas as chemical peels to fade wrinkles, acne scars, and fine lines, can be potentially damaging to your skin. TCA has been known to cause adverse reactions with the skin among 10 to 20% of users according to the Tattoo Health Organization. Side effects of TCA use include blistering, skin irritation, and discoloration of the skin. If you are considering TCA creams, apply the product on a small area of the skin first to check how your skin reacts to it.

Use a product with natural ingredients

If you’re looking for a treatment without the high price tag, hassle, and gore, consider a tattoo fading product that does not contain any damaging acids such as TCA and hydroquinone and is made with natural, skin-nourishing ingredients. Make sure to pay attention to the type of tattoo the cream is effective on. Most people make the mistake of choosing a product that does not work on all ages, colors, or sizes of tattoos. Look for a product that works on both old and new tattoos to enhance the effectiveness of your tattoo removal option.

It’s critical that you check tattoo removal cream reviews of each product and stay away from anything that has been reported to cause unpleasant side effects such as scarring or bruising. If you’re looking for a product made with natural ingredients with no risk of side effects, check out the Trufade reviews. It can be used at home but it also has a complex formulation with skin-enhancing ingredients like Gigawhite that helps fade your tattoo, while Chromabright is designed to brighten your skin, allowing the tattoo to fade faster. Tattoo fading creams like Trufade should be used twice a day at home. The process is easy, quick, and will have your tattoo fading in no time.

Takeaway

Some home remedies that claim to fade tattoos may give decent results depending on the tattoo and skin type. With salabrasion methods, however, there’s a higher risk of infection as you are scraping your skin to get to the layers where the tattoo ink lies. So the problem with most natural home remedies is that they either don’t work on most people or they are potentially damaging to the skin. Medical treatments may sound like the most efficient approach, but they are costly and can cause permanent physical side-effects.

Fortunately, there are plenty of tattoo removal and fading creams on the market that do not harm the skin and help make your tattoo removal journey a pleasant one. Remember, with any product, patience is key so be sure not to overuse any cream, and always follow the product’s instructions.
