Wash tattoos

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

The laser acts on the affected area, so that the pigment particles are broken into tiny pieces, which are discharged through skin scabbing, or blood circulation discharge and cell 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 etching method

Is to use diluted weak acid solution to cause superficial skin burns, so that the pigment falls off with necrotic tissue.

Grinding method

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

Surgical excision

For deep tattoo patterns, the above methods are often ineffective, and only surgical resection and suture can be considered, but scars may be left.

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 condition), 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 blister on the skin after tattoo cannot be punctured at will, it should be allowed to subside by itself.

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

Laser tattoo removal

superiority

⑴. Laser tattoo washing can selectively use lasers with different wavelengths without damaging the skin.

This method of tattoo washing is to inject light into the dermis, turn pigment particles into powder, increase the high jump between them, and then be absorbed and removed by macrophages. If the tattoo pattern is dark, it can be repeated many times, constantly changing the wavelength of light. Experts admit that laser tattoo will leave deep or shallow spots on the treatment site, but it is better than leaving scars and tumors. This tumor is a trace left by surgery or carbon dioxide laser tattoo. Traditional laser tattoo washing is very harmful to the skin.

⑵. Laser tattooing can remove patterns with large area and heavy color.

In any case, the final effect of this tattoo washing depends on the size, location and pigment used. If the pattern is small, the tattoo can be removed by surgery. If you sew well, you can hardly see it. Patterns tattooed on the neck, arms (especially deltoid, scapula, clavicle, upper humerus) and other parts with poor skin elasticity will leave scars. Tattoos can remove large areas and strong colors by using the most advanced technology.

⑶. The most obvious advantage is that laser tattoo washing does not require knife cutting or polishing, and in most cases, tattoo washing will not leave obvious scars. Of course, the way to wash tattoos is not a magic eraser.

(4) tattoo washing does not require local anesthesia, which is another advantage of laser scar removal and other scar removal operations.

disadvantaged

⑴. Longer time: Generally speaking, a shallow tattoo can get obvious therapeutic effect or even disappear completely after one treatment, but for a deeper tattoo, it is difficult to completely eliminate it after one treatment, and it usually needs multiple treatments.

(2) Higher cost: The imported laser equipment is expensive, so the tattoo removal price is also high.

(3) Color tattoos are more difficult to remove than monochrome tattoos. Dyes used in tattoos also affect the difficulty of tattoo removal. Monochrome tattoos are relatively easy to wash, while colored tattoos, such as blue and green, are more difficult to wash.
