There are several methods for lightning or removing a tattoo. Tattoos are intended to be permanent and therefore any removal or lightening is optimistic. The different methods of tattoo removal are effective in their own ways. Some are better for certain types of tattoos or certain types or areas of skin. The client should be well researched prior to contemplating removal and understand the laws in their state for each type of removal. Although the client should be well researched when selecting a practitioner, it is in the client’s interest to adhere to the professional practitioners recommendations regarding their treatment. 
It is important that the practitioner has as much information about the tattoo you want removed or lightened as possible. Different pigments and techniques used by the original artist can greatly affect the removal outcome. The age of the tattoo is imperative to the practitioner. Overall client health information may also be relevant to the practitioner. The practitioner may ask for the name of the original artist and contact information to get an idea of how to proceed in your treatment. It is also important to share how many times the tattoo has been retouched, or if it was previously covered by another tattoo. 
The processes of the removal methods we offer are all pretty similar. A Magnesium and Titanium Dioxide solution, or saline and salt solution, or Benzoic Acid solution is tattooed into the skin to bond with the tattoo pigments under the skin. A crust will form and harden protecting the bond underneath. After 5-14 days the crust will detach from the skin taking most of the pigment with it. The pigment can be seen in the crust when it falls off. The new skin will appear somewhat red / pink for a few weeks but will resume to normal when the dermis is fully healed. It is a very successful treatment and about 90% removal is seen in most new tattoos. This treatment may have to be repeated several times for older tattoos or ones that have had a few retouches. This treatment can be repeated 6-8 weeks after the initial treatment. 
Most individuals say that it feels much like the original tattoo. In many cases clients say they don’t feel much discomfort. This is most likely because tiny needle groupings are used in the removal opposed to the actual tattoo process. 
While the crust remains on the skin a waterproof bandage must be worn only during water contact. The bandage should be removed during regular activities. Loose clothing is best for the removal area. Once the crusting has fallen off a healing cream such as “After Inked or H2Ocean Healing Cream” should be worn twice daily for the next week and a sunscreen as well.
