How to clean and remove tattoos on your body
Tattoo washing, also known as tattoo removal, is to remove the original tattoo on the body through certain technical means. With the rapid development of science and technology, there are more tattoo washing methods, such as freezing to remove pigment, acupuncture to remove heat, high-frequency electronic watch needle to wash tattoos, traditional Chinese medicine to wash tattoos, laser to wash tattoos and so on. Let me introduce various cleaning methods in detail for you.

There are eight ways to remove tattoos and clean them. The first method is to remove tattoos with traditional Chinese medicine. Many people mistakenly believe that Chinese medicine does not corrode or burn, so tattoos cannot be washed away. In fact, tattoos can be removed by Chinese medicine, but only if you go to some regular plastic surgery hospitals and use safe and effective Chinese medicine products. Tattoos washed with traditional Chinese medicine may not be removed once, depending on the depth of skin, but they can be completely removed after washing for about three times. The interval is about three months. Just a reminder, when washing tattoos, green and red are difficult to wash and can only be diluted. It is best for experts to work out the best treatment plan before tattooing, so as to ensure safety and reliability. The second method: Taiwan Province agent A+ agent B removes tattoos. This method has been used in the beauty industry for a long time. It corrodes the skin with diluted sulfuric acid. There is nothing wrong with the epidermis, but the principle of dermis is chemical cauterization, so it will leave scars.

The third method: salt rubbing to remove tattoos. This method is to remove pigment with saline solution, sometimes combined with skin grinding, which is rarely used now.

The fourth method: remove the tattoo by freezing. Use-169℃ liquid nitrogen, made of? Liquid? Change? Gaseous? When it evaporates, it takes away some moisture in the skin, causing the skin to die and renew its weight. Its disadvantage is that liquid nitrogen ejects gas, the area is difficult to control, and it is easy to blister, infect and leave scars after freezing.

The fifth method: scratch method to remove tattoos. It is a method of cleaning tattoos with acidic solution. The bad thing is that it will form scars in the original place.

The sixth method: the needle removes heat to tattoo. Choose metal needles of different sizes and shapes and put them on the skin after heating with fire. Use the residual heat of metal to burn the skin, make it peel off and take away the color. Its disadvantage is that it is difficult to control the temperature, time and depth. Overheating can cause burns and scalds, and dermal injuries can leave scars, which are prone to blisters and infections. The seventh method: skin transplantation. Skin transplantation is to transplant the skin without tattoo to the skin with tattoo. This method is not suitable for tattoos with large area and deep pigment. There are obvious scars left after operation, and the color and texture of skin graft area are poor after operation.

The eighth method: laser treatment to tattoo. Laser tattoo removal is based on the principle of selective photothermal action and complementary color, and pigments of various colors are extracted by using different wavelengths and pulse widths. Part of the pigment is crushed and excreted, and part of it is swallowed by phagocytes and excreted with blood circulation. Generally speaking, the treatment is to apply anesthetic, but it still hurts a little. Compared with traditional methods, laser tattoo removal has made more progress and improvement, and the effect is more ideal. Laser tattoo removal will not harm the skin, and the process is comfortable. It is an ideal method, praised by patients and beauty experts, and is also the most popular tattoo removal method at present.

Precautions after tattoo removal Correct cleaning method

Be sure to wash after tattooing, and wash frequently before scabbing. This is because tattoo itself is a kind of wound. After the skin is damaged, blood and tissue fluid will ooze out. If it is not cleaned, the tissue fluid will seep out and air dry, and accumulate layer by layer to form a thick scab. The thick scab falls off, which will affect the effect of tattoo pattern and fade easily. Use warm water when cleaning, do not rub the skin on the tattoo, do not use irritating bath and soap, so as not to stimulate the wound, and the bath time should not be too long. Once the tattoo wound becomes hard, wash it as little as possible to keep the skin dry. If you wash it too much, it will affect the color and effect of the restored pattern.

Tattoo wound care is usually just finished, and the tattoo artist will wrap plastic wrap around the tattoo to prevent the tissue fluid from leaking out and drying so quickly. Of course, plastic wrap can't be wrapped all the time. It's best to go home and clean it within three to four hours. Otherwise, if the plastic wrap is wrapped for too long, the tattoo wound will fester because it is airtight, and the consequences will be more serious. Wash it every three to four hours and apply the tattoo ointment for about 2 days until the tattooed skin begins to harden. If the skin is too dry, you can moisturize it with a little tattoo cream. It is normal that the tattoo will itch, peel off and form a thin scab during the recovery process, but don't scratch the tattoo with your hands, otherwise it will affect the color of the tattoo.

Avoid exposure to the sun. Before the tattoo is fully recovered, it is necessary to pay attention to avoid sun exposure to avoid skin discomfort. At the same time, be careful not to take a bath, take a bath, swim, sauna, etc. And keep the skin dry, which can make the restored pattern fuller. If your skin is too dry, you can apply some gentle hand cream and body lotion to moisturize your skin.

Dietary taboos Try not to drink alcohol or eat seafood or spicy food until the tattoo is fully recovered, because these will lead to redness, itching and even allergies in the tattoo area. During this period, if men are allergic to certain foods, they should pay more attention.

Principle 1 of laser tattoo removal: under the condition of not causing skin burns, the pigment particles are crushed into tiny particles by laser acting on the affected area, and are gradually discharged from the urinary system through blood circulation. This method does not destroy skin living tissue, leaving no scar after operation, and the effect is good. It is the best choice to treat tattoos at present. But it's expensive.

Principle 2: Laser cleaning tattoo is to apply laser to the affected area, break the pigment particles into tiny pieces, and discharge them through skin scabbing, or discharge them through blood circulation and phagocytosis to complete pigment metabolism. This method will not affect normal skin tissue, leaving almost no scar after operation, and it is the first choice for tattoo removal at present.
