Getting a tattoo is a very serious decision as the tattoo will more than likely remain on your body forever. However, choosing to remove a tattoo is even more serious as it is typically both more painful and much more expensive than getting the tattoo in the first place. In addition, while your tattoo probably took a few hours to put on, it will probably take weeks or months to remove it.
While there are options including laser treatments and surgery to help get rid of your tattoos, one of the most popular and certainly the least expensive methods is to use a topical tattoo removal treatment such as Tat Med. Topical Tattoo Removers have become more and more popular each year and are now beginning to catch up with laser treatment in terms of usage. The main reason more and more people are deciding to use tattoo removal creams and gel is very simple: cost.
The reality is that while laser treatments are effective, they are also very expensive and almost never covered by existing health insurance plans. This is because unless removing the tattoo is medically necessary, insurance companies view the procedure as cosmetic/elective and therefore force those that want their tattoos removed to pay for the treatment out of pocket.
When you add up the final cost of having your tattoo removed via laser you could easily spend thousands and thousands of dollars. On the other hand, using a topical option like TatMed is much more affordable. This is because topical solutions cost a fraction of the price of laser treatments and while it will take multiple bottles to produce visible results, it will still be much less expensive not to mention less painful than having your tattoo removed via laser or surgery.
However, it should be noted again, that while using a topical tattoo remover such as Tat Med is effective and safe, it will take longer to see results. This is because the process used to fade and help erase a tattoo using a topical solution involves removing layers of skin until the final layer of tattooed skin is revealed and removed. Basically, topical tattoo removers help speed up the natural exfoliating process by effectively removing old layers of skin and allowing new ones to appear. This is also why old tattoos look faded and dull. When used in conjunction with an exfoliating pad, the process is even further sped up and will fade and help erase the tattoo even more efficiently.
It should also be noted that a few weeks into using Tat Med, the unwanted tattoo will appear brighter than before. This is due to the fact that the ink is getting closer to the surface of the skin and that the process is working.
Regarding safety, using a topical tattoo removal cream or gel like Tat Med is the safest way to get rid of a tattoo. However, some topical tattoo removal products do use TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid), which is a skin peeling agent. These kinds of products are much more risky than using TatMed which relies on proven and safe ingredients like Alpha Arbutin.
