Commonly used methods to remove tattoo patterns are:

1, chemical corrosion method: generally, dilute weak acid solution is used to cause superficial skin burn, so that the pigment falls off with the necrotic tissue.

2. Laser cauterization: It is a method of cauterizing skin surface tissue with laser to remove pigment.

3. Liquid nitrogen freezing method: liquid nitrogen freezing method is used to make superficial skin tissue necrosis and fall off, thus removing tattoo tissue.

4. Dermable method: it is a mechanical method to remove the surface layer of skin in order to remove the internal pigment.

The above method is characterized by being suitable for removing shallow tattoo patterns. Don't treat it too deeply at a time. If it is not completely removed, it can be repeated. Depending on the depth of skin excision, it takes 1 ~ 2 weeks for each recovery, and the interval between treatments is 1 ~ 3 months. The disadvantage is that the skin may be pigmented or depilated after operation. It is difficult to completely remove the deep pigment when removing the scar left when the skin is too deep.

5, excision suture method and excision skin grafting method:

For deep tattoo patterns (reaching deep dermis or even subcutaneous tissue), the above methods are difficult to work, and surgery can be considered to remove the full skin of the affected area. If the wound is narrow, it can be sutured directly. Because of certain tension, obvious scars will be left after operation. If the wound is difficult to suture, thin skin (cross-sectional skin grafting) should be taken from other parts of the body, such as the thigh. The disadvantage is that the color and texture of the skin graft area are poor after operation.

6, laser tattoo removal:

The principle is that the laser is applied to the affected area, and the pigment particles are crushed into tiny particles without causing skin burns, 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.

In short, if the tattooer needs to remove the tattoo pattern, the plastic surgeon should put forward the best plan according to the specific situation in order to achieve good results.

At present, the commonly used methods to remove tattoos are: chemical corrosion, laser cauterization, liquid nitrogen freezing, skin grinding, stitches removal and skin grafting. The characteristics of these methods are suitable for removing shallow tattoo patterns, but the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the skin may be pigmentation or loss after operation, and the skin will leave scars if it is too deep, and it is difficult to completely remove the deeper pigments. Skin grafting is suitable for removing deep tattoo patterns, but obvious scars remain after operation, and the color and texture of skin grafting area are poor after operation.

Expert introduction: At present, the best way to treat tattoos can be said to be laser tattoo removal. The price of this treatment method is generally 400 ~ 800 yuan /cm2. The laser can enter the focus smoothly. During the treatment, the dye is gasified and crushed under the powerful laser, so that the color of the tattoo will fade, and this fading effect will be seen at that time.

Generally speaking, superficial treatment is effective once, or even completely eliminated, but most of them need multiple treatments. Because the therapeutic effect has a great relationship with the nature of the dye used in tattoo, and the dye particles used in eyebrow tattoo eyeliner are fine and the dye components are relatively pure, the therapeutic effect is remarkable.
