What is the best tattoo removal available (PicoSure is the Best for Tattoo Removal 2020)

What is the best tattoo removal. Are you searching for the best tattoo removal method. If you are having tattoo regret you’re not alone. So how do you achieve the best tattoo removal possible for that artwork you no longer love. Let’s talk about the best tattoo removal creams and the best tattoo removal lasers or tattoo removal machines. You may be considering trying a tattoo removal cream. Well these creams have been available for years, their effectiveness remains very limited. These products work by either bleaching or exfoliating the skin or both. Using tattoo removal creams put you at risk for infection, allergic reaction, pigment changes and scarring as either excessive abrasion or irritating chemicals are often used. None of these products are FDA approved and results will be limited to minimal fading. Why is that. Because when you get a tattoo needles are used to place ink into the dermis the living deeper skin layer which is covered and protected by the epidermis the outer layer. It would take a third degree burn where the dermis is destroyed to eliminate the ink. In addition the particles of the pigment or ink are too large to be removed from the body by white blood cells through the lymphatic system like other debris or dead cells because they’re too large for white blood cells to capture. So the ink cannot be removed by the body or reached through the skin. So since tattoo removal creams don’t work. What is one to do. Your best option is to receive treatment by an expert with a tattoo removal laser. These lasers have been used medically for the past 25 years. Today there are two common types in use the Q switched and PicoSure lasers. Let’s talk about which is the best tattoo removal machine. First of all lasers work to remove unwanted tattoos by gradually breaking the large ink particle into smaller pieces which the body can then clear out by being carried by the white blood cells to the lymphatic system. You should be aware that there are so-called tattoo removal lasers being sold online. None of these are FDA approved for safety or effectiveness and should be avoided. TheQ-switch lasers have been in use the longest and are the most common version of laser tattoo removal. The pico second lasers such as PicoSure are the newest technology and have been introduced within the past seven years. There are two main differences between these lasers their wavelength and the speed of delivery of the laser light. The wavelength will determine which colors will respond as certain wavelengths are absorbed by different colors. The speed of light is a billionth of a second for Q switch and a trillionth of a second for PicoSure. The faster light delivery of Pico Shaw translates into less heating of the ink and surrounding tissue meaning less pain and less risk of scarring. The mechanical impact of PicoSure increased speed also leads to more effective breakup of the ink for faster clearance. Both lasers are effective for black ink while the PicoSure is more effective on blues, greens and some purples. The red ink requires a wavelength of 532 and white, yellow, and orange do not absorb either lasers very effectively so may be more difficult to remove. The number of treatments will depend on the ink used the color, density and depth of placement as well as the location of the tattoo. The Age and overall health of the individual, the type of laser and experience of the clinician. No two tattoos are alike, so providing an accurate estimate of the number of treatments is very difficult if not impossible. The range can be as few as 4 to up to 20 sessions, sometimes even more. Treatments are usually six to eight weeks apart to allow the body to do its job clearing out the ink particles. Treatment is uncomfortable to painful and so topical numbing and cold air can be used for comfort. After care includes protective ointment and a bandage for seven to 14 days. Some blistering is expected and scrapping can be seen with a q switch laser. Risks include lots of normal background skin pigment and scarring. Cost will vary based on the laser used, the size of the tattoo, the practice setting and experience of the clinician and can range from one hundred to five hundred per session. As with any medical laser that are comes result with more experienced practitioners. Insurance does not cover laser tattoo removal.
