What home remedies help with tattoo removal?
There are no household remedies that you can use to get a tattoo from your body at home. At least no methods that do not involve a significant health risk. A tattoo should always be removed by a trained professional or a doctor.
But there are ways to support the healing of the skin during a tattoo removal with simple means. Firstly, it helps to cool the skin with ice after the treatment. Water and heat in excess should be avoided.
A short shower after one or two days is fine but bathing in a tub or swimming pool is not good for the healing of the skin. Direct sunlight and sauna visits should also be avoided. Fresh air and an antibacterial cream from the pharmacy are helpful against the crust formation. Crusts, as soon as they develop, should not be scraped off under any circumstances, because this will promote scarring. Otherwise, care should be taken to ensure that the skin is not irritated by tight-fitting clothing or even movement and sweat and can heal in peace.
Summary
With all methods of tattoo removal, miracles should not be expected. An attempt with a laser treatment is almost always recommended before deciding on a surgical procedure.Nevertheless, even with laser tattoo removal, significant pigmentation disorders of the skin can remain in the form of the tattoo and scars can develop. Even after many laser sessions, the tattoo can still be clearly visible, depending on the tattooed pigments, the laser device, … and and and and.
In addition, beware of the “experts” who shoot up like mushrooms from the ground! The competence of each one should be questioned, as well as the duration of the training, the duration of experience and the technique (number of available lasers; at least 3 are necessary). Tattoo removal is not an easy business without risk.
