The use of a tattoo removal cream sounds like the cheap alternative to laser therapy or surgical excision. The market has recently been flooded by a huge number of topical products that claim to remove tattoos, but their efficiency is truly limited. The tattoo pigment is usually located below the superficial skin layer which prevents it from wearing off with the exfoliation of the dead skin cells. Yet, this is not the case, and most tattoos are made at the level of the deep dermal layers where they become permanent.
A tattoo removal cream exposes the skin to an advanced level of chemical exfoliation, meaning that it interacts with the skin structure in the attempt to break up the tattoo ink. Side effects and discomforts sometimes accompany the use of a tattoo removal cream, since topical removal products rely on acid as a main ingredient. Itching and tingling are normal in the area where you apply the tattoo removal cream, but symptoms alleviation is possible by the application of a soothing balm.
If the tattoo removal cream comes with a kit, it will most certainly contain a massager or some small item to help you spread the ointment evenly. As compared to finger-rubbing the cream, the application with a massager is considered superior. Results usually become visible within six weeks from the beginning of the treatment, but for advanced removal you need to apply the tattoo removal cream for at least six months.
As for efficiency ratings, lots of products are reviewed as completely useless. By efficiency, most products in fact mean that the tattoo slightly wears off. FDA certification is another issue concerning the safety of the products applied to the skin. Deep tissue damage, allergies, rashes and even scars could follow the irrational use of some topical tattoo removal cream.
Some tattoo removal creams are advertised as natural, meaning that they also contain some organic herbal extracts. Rosemary leaf, aloe vera and orange peel extract are common examples of natural ingredients used by some manufacturers. Such a tattoo removal cream will have very few side effects and a lower toxicity.
