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. And laser tattooing is commonly used.

Laser therapy 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 does not destroy the rest of the skin tissue, leaving no scars after operation. It is the first choice for tattoo treatment, but the cost is slightly more expensive.

Chemical corrosion method is to cauterize superficial skin with diluted weak acid solution, so that the pigment falls off with necrotic tissue.

Dermable method is to remove the surface layer of skin with a special high-speed rotating grinding wheel to achieve the purpose of removing pigment.

Surgical removal, for deep tattoo patterns, the above methods are often ineffective, and only surgical removal and suture can be considered, but it may leave scars.

When laser, chemical etching and grinding are used for treatment, each treatment should not be too deep. If the first cleaning is not clean, the second treatment can be carried out, and the interval between each treatment should be 1-3 months. If the cleaning area is not too deep each time, there will generally be no scars left.

Matters needing attention

First, it is forbidden to eat spicy, pigmented and irritating food for one to two weeks after each tattoo wash, and it is forbidden to touch water for the first three days.

Second, keep your skin dry after each tattoo wash, and don't apply any medicine to avoid skin inflammation. Pay attention to cleanliness. If there are blisters, it is a normal reaction and cannot be scratched.

Third, after the first tattoo wash, the second tattoo wash can only be carried out at an interval of 75-90 days (the interval depends on everyone's skin tissue), and the third tattoo wash is about 90- 120 days (and so on).

Fourth, customers who wash tattoos should pay attention to their own maintenance, and the process of skin scabbing and itching should not be scratched.

5. If the blisters on the skin after tattoo can't be punctured at will, they should be allowed to fade by themselves.

6. If in doubt, please consult a professional, and don't handle it yourself.
