Tattoo Removal: What It Is and How To Remove Yours

Tattoos are permanent markings that we make on our bodies, and while many people see them as a way of expressing themselves, they can also create problems for the future. Tattoos often last forever (unless you get laser tattoo removal), and if you change your mind about what your tattoos say or stand for in the future, then it is not something that can be undone.

Tattoo removal is possible with some time, money, and effort. The process will vary depending on what type of ink was used to create the tattoo, but there are multiple ways to remove a tattoo from your body without having to live with it any longer than necessary!
This blog post will discuss tattoo removal, how it works, where you can go if you would like to get one removed, and more!

What is a Tattoo

A tattoo is a permanent marking made on the skin by inserting ink, dyes, and pigments into various dermis layers. Tattoos can be created with many different methods, but all have one thing in common: they will never go away unless you take action to remove them! 

There are two types of tattoos that people commonly get today; traditional tattoos, where an artist uses needles and creates artful designs based on their talents, and freehand drawings, which utilize any object or surface (buildings, sidewalks) as a canvas for someone's creative expression.

The Process Behind Tattoo Removal

Tattoo removal has been around since 1898, when it was first used for medical reasons - removing people's body markings so that doctors could identify what type of skin graft they would need to put on. Tattoo removal usually takes place in one of two ways: by exfoliating the tattoo ink from the surface or through laser treatment (in which a beam shoots light at and breaks up the pigment).

How It Works

Tattoos are created with a needle that injects ink into your dermis layer, so removing them is just about finding an alternate way to remove this ink out of your body. This process can be done with laser treatments where lasers break up pigments, topical creams that dissolve tattoos over time, and even chemical peels! These all work because they will either peel away layers of skin exposing new ones, or find another way for cells to turn over faster - meaning that tattoos can quickly be removed.

Tattoo Removal Timeline

Depending on where it is placed (on someone's arm, leg, etc.) and how big, the design usually ranges anywhere from $100-$3000+ for laser treatments. In-home remedies typically take six months to see any results - but one should keep in mind that these are much more budget-friendly options than the professional treatment but would cost you more in future in terms of your health!

Where You Can Get Tattoos Removed

If you want your tattoos removed, there are many different options for both professionals and in-home treatments!

Professional Options

Ogden Skin Care specializes in tattoo removal using the supervision of our Medical Doctor. We take pride in making our clients feeling confident and happy to make the transition from a tattoo that no longer fits them. ​

Home Options

Many in-home treatments are available to remove tattoos - although these may not be as effective or efficient as professional laser treatment sessions! Some options for home use include a topical cream that is used twice daily and costs $25-$35 per month; this usually takes about six months before seeing any results. 
Another option is an OTC machine called Tattoo Removal Lotion (which can be found on Amazon) which uses light therapy technology to break up pigment, with each session costing around $500+.

Why should you go for a professional option?

Less painA professional option will be less painful compared to a home option.
Effective treatmentChoosing a professional option means that the treatment will be most effective, and, in some cases, it may even get rid of your tattoo quicker than at-home treatments.
Get the ink out faster.Many people also find professional laser sessions to work better because they employ an expert who knows what works best for removing tattoos, which ultimately gets faster results!
Risks Associated With Laser Treatments/Home Remedies
  • In-home remedies have their risks as well, depending on what you're choosing to use for the removal process - like the cream that could cause allergic reactions in some people or skin irritation and redness with Lotion Machines.

  • Another risk associated with laser treatments is an infection, which can be prevented by always using sterile medical instruments.

  • Pain: The most painful part of tattoo removal sessions will usually come from areas with lots of ink under their skin - but this varies per person, so it's best to consult a professional before investing time/money into any treatment(s).

Benefits of a Tattoo removal

No regrets Tattoo removal will be very beneficial for those who have regrets about their ink. It's important to note that it cannot return once a tattoo is removed - only fade away over time with age!
Save Money in the Long Run Although laser treatments and other home remedies may not last as long as professionally applied methods, they're still cheaper than surgery or dermabrasion sessions which can cost between $1000-$5000+. Supporters of at-home options also claim that one can save money by removing tattoos alone without going through any appointments - make sure you do your research before attempting anything on your own!
No Surgery Laser tattoo removal is an excellent alternative for those not up for surgery, as there's no need to go under the knife. This makes it perfect for people with sensitive skin and allergies!
Scar less Treatment Process There should be little scarring when removing tattoos using professional methods - which is what makes them so popular among celebrities like Selena Gomez & Demi Lovato, whose ink has been removed by professionals like Ogden Skin Care Center before they made their big comebacks on social media. Laser sessions also heal quicker than at-home remedies so that you can resume your everyday life in just one or two days after treatment(s).
Improve Self-EsteemRemoving tattoos can be a great way to improve one's self-esteem as they will no longer have any regrets about the ink that was once there. It'll also make you feel like you're starting fresh and are in control of your body - which is what this Tattoo Removal Blog Post has been trying to explain!
Boost Confidence (at work, school)A tattoo removal session may not remove all traces of ink on your skin, but it will help lower the chances of anyone else being able to see remnants left behind from previous sessions. This could potentially give someone an edge when applying for jobs or going back to school - especially if their attire doesn't cover up most areas with heavy amounts of ink.

Feel More Comfortable with Yourself Removing tattoos can be a great way to feel more confident in oneself as it will remove any ink that is no longer wanted or needed - and make one's skin look cleaner! This could provide someone the opportunity to find new hobbies, jobs, friends, etc., which they may not have been able to do before their tattoo removal session(s). Tattoo removals are also beneficial for those who want to remove scars from old tattoos; this method lets them cover up any marks left behind without going through surgery again.

Conclusion

Tattoo removal is a serious process that could be costly depending on the type of ink, size, and thickness. It is recommended that you visit a professional tattoo remover like Ogden Skin Care Center to ensure your health is not at risk and you get the results you are looking for.
