Tattoo Removal Laser vs. Cream What’s the Best Method?
There are various methods today for tattoo removal. Laser tattoo removal and tattoo removal creams are the most popular. There seems to be quite a debate and a lot of misunderstanding on how effective these methods are for removing tattoos.
Which is the best method? It really depends on what you are looking for. It seems that having the laser treatments done produce the best results, but at what cost? This type of tattoo removal is painful, will require several visits over several months and is not cheap.
On the other hand the tattoo removal creams seem to have more dubious results, but they have their upside also. The tattoo cream products are a lot less costly than laser treatments. There is no pain associated with their use. They can be done in the privacy of your home. Some people claim that the tattoo removal cream products work quite well. A lot, it seems, depends on the person’s skin type, the color of ink in the tattoo, the age of the tattoo and how deeply into the skin the tattoo ink has penetrated.
Laser treatments used pulsed light of high intensity to penetrate the skin and break up the ink pigment while the cream products are applied over the top of the tattoo and fade away the art work with repeated applications.
The tattoo removal creams have attracted a lot of attention these days. Many people are thinking “I can always go with laser removal if the creams don’t work.” The attraction of the lower cost and being painless is a real draw for the creams.
So which direction do you go if you are looking for the best tattoo removal solution today? Our recommendation is to seek out professional tattoo removal specialists in your community. Visit a few places and ask lots of questions. Be sure to observe the cleanliness and overall look of the facilities you visit. Ask about cost to remove your tattoo and how many visits it might take. Ask what the risks might be for, say, scarring or infection and how painful. There should be no charge to make visits like these and have your questions asked and receive an estimate of cost.
After you have done this you will be in a position to make the best decision. After you know the answers to your questions and see what is available for you locally you will be in a good position to decide if you want to try laser or creams.
If you decide to try the cream removal two of the more popular companies that we have heard good results coming from are: Wrecking Balm and Tat B Gone.
There are other methods we have not discussed that involve the use of acids, sanding and even surgery. But these are more drastic and seem to yield very questionable results.
