5 Of The Most Effective Tattoo Removal Methods
1. Laser treatment
In this tattoo removal method, intense light pulses are directed towards the tattoo, which results in the breaking down of the pigments in your dermis layer.

It is widely opted for by celebrities, even Zoë Kravitz is using this method.
2. Skin Excision
This is when you get the tattooed skin surgically removed by a surgeon. However, it results in bruising and scarring. Therefore this method can and should only be used for smaller tattoos. It is somewhat difficult or impossible for larger tattoos.
3. Cryosurgery
In this method, the medical professional will literally freeze out your skin to remove the tattoo. They will spray or rub a cold liquid of around −196 degrees celsius to cause the skin to tear apart. In some procedures, cryo needles can also be used.
4. Dermabrasion
This process seems a bit scary, it requires spraying a numbing solution and then sanding away the top layers of your tattooed skin to reveal the unblemished skin layers underneath the tattoo. After which a rotating abrasion brush is used to sand away the skin. This method may lead to some bruises and bleeding. It will lighten the tattoo but might not completely remove it.
5. Tattoo Removal Cream
These are quite popular because of their low cost and perceived ease of use. They might be able to fade away your tattoo over time but it will be difficult for the cream to remove the tattoo completely from your skin.
