Laser Tattoo Removal VS Other Removal Techniques

Jim Trenholm • March 13, 2019
There are many factors to consider when deciding to remove your tattoo, like price, place, timing, etc., but you won’t think twice about HOW you’re going to remove your tattoo. Using the most safe, effective and efficient laser tattoo removal technology will ensure that all ink is cleared, and your skin has reverted to its original state.

There are multiple options when it comes to how you are going to remove your tattoo, but there is only one safe and effective option that you should use. At Unthink Inc. we use the latest laser technology, the PicoWay laser to remove your tattoo, that way you don’t have to worry about using at-home methods that will not be as effective in removing your unwanted ink.

Tattoo Removal Cream

There are many tattoo removal creams out there, and some might say they are a fairly effective, ‘cheaper’ option. When looking more closely to the details of this method and the costs associated, a bottle of tattoo removal cream goes for about $100+ a bottle, and it may take a number of bottles before you see any results. The amount of time and money that it might take you to remove your tattoo with cream will never be enough, since the ink of a tattoo is located in the dermis, making it nearly impossible to ever completely remove it.

Natural Methods

With any process or procedure, there is always a natural option, or way of doing things. When it comes to tattoo removal, the natural method is an option, but not necessarily an effective one. Aloe vera combined with Vitamin E and Paederia Tomentosa is a commonly used natural application method that helps diminish the appearance of tattoos. The process starts with these three ingredients, which are rubbed together on the tattoo that is being removed, and is washed off with warm water. This process can be repeated almost everyday until the tattoo eventually fades.

Another natural combination is lemon juice and salt, as salt is used as an abrasive material to help exfoliate and penetrate the layers of the skin, fading the ink colours and removing the tinted layers. The lemon helps to lighten the colour of the skin with its natural detergent that can help remove the inks pigment.

Chemical Peel

Chemical peels are another way that tattoos can be removed, by rubbing a chemical onto the tattooed area the burning of the affected area will create a scab that can be peeled off, along with the unwanted ink. As time goes on, and the chemical peel process is done numerous times the pigmented skin will begin to fade as the skin rejuvenates each time. Although this method is a more oftenly used process for tattoo removal, it can take months to see any progress, especially if your tattoo is large and has multiple colours.

All of the above methods of tattoo removal, do just that, remove your tattoo. The differences between the PicoWay tattoo removal laser and the techniques mentioned are extreme. Laser tattoo removal with the PicoWay laser will ensure the safest removal of your tattoo, will leave you will the most effective results out of all of the other options and will remove ink in fewer treatments with less discomfort.
