Dermabrasion Tattoo

Dermabrasion For Tattoo Removal

What's Involved?

With dermabrasion, a surgeon applies a local anesthetic to numb the area of your tattoo. Your doctor will apply the anesthetic as well as ice packs to numb the skin and make it firm. A spray will also be used to freeze the skin in that area.

The top areas of your skin over your tattoo are removed with a special abrasive instrument. Your surgeon removes the skin with a rotary instrument with an abrasive brush specially designed to peel away layers of skin.

Antibiotic ointment and clean gauze is placed over the affected area. Immediately after your dermabrasion procedure, the area where your tattoo was will look severely brush burned and will be bleeding.

The affected area will need to be cleaned gently several times a day and ointment and gauze reapplied for approximately five to eight days until skin has regrown.  Follow up appointments with your doctor ensure the healing process is progressing normally and that your skin is ready to be exposed.

Tattoos Removing

Quick summary on ways to remove tottoos:

Laser Removal
Today, lasers are the most common method of tattoo removal. They work by targeting the ink with pulses of highly concentrated light that break the ink into tiny fragments, which are then cleared away the your own immune system. However, this isn’t all done with just one treatment. The more treatments you have, the more the laser can penetrate to destroy the ink. But, the more treatments you have, the more damage you do to your skin, causing painful blisters and scabs that can eventually lead to scarring. Experts in removal therapy say that technology has advanced to the point where scarring is minimal, sometimes non-existant, but this can vary depending on the situation.

Intense Pulsed Light Therapy
Intense Pulsed Light Therapy, or IPL, is a dermal enhancer currently being used in some spas. Instead of laser light, it uses high intensity light in pretty much the same manner. A gel is applied to the skin and then a wand is used to emit pulses of light onto the skin area being treated. This method is said to be less painful than laser therapy, and more effective, resulting in less total treatment sessions.

Other Medical Methods
There are other methods of tattoo removal include dermabrasion (which actually "sands" away the top layer of skin through abrasive friction), excision (where the tattoo is cut away and the skin sewn back together), and various at-home cream removal methods (causing tattoo fading over time).
