How to get rid of a tattoo?

When there is a desire to get a tattoo, few people think about how to remove the tattoo in the future. But over time, fashion trends change, I want changes in appearance, style, and a tattoo may not fit into these desires. Therefore, before getting a tattoo, it is worth finding out if there are ways to get rid of the tattoo in the future.

Modern methods of tattooing depend on the purpose for which the tattoo is made: decorate the skin with a pattern, camouflage skin defects, and visually correct facial features. Depending on the purpose of tattooing, the duration of its existence on the skin also differs. Tattoos that correct the contours of eyebrows, eyes, lips are short-lived due to the fact that the staining occurs in the surface layer, and the dye will fade over time (it loses image clarity), and the surface layer of the stained epidermal cells gradually dies off naturally and sloughs off.

Another thing is tattoos for decorating and camouflaging defects. When this type of tattoo is applied to the skin, the deeper layers of the skin are involved in coloring, which gives the tattoo its stability.

There are several ways to remove a tattoo, most of which are traumatic and have side effects (scars, scars):

Coagulation - burning of stained skin cells with an electric current;
Removing a tattoo by chemical action on colored skin cells with solutions of acids and alkalis;
Dermabrasion - exfoliation of the surface layer of the epidermis in the area of the skin with a tattoo and removal of the paint under it;
Skin flap transplant is convenient only in areas of short length;
Laser removal - allows you to destroy the coloring pigment in the skin cells with minimal trauma, but requires a certain number of procedures to gradually remove the dye.

Due to the fact that tattoo removal is an interference with the natural course of physiological processes in the skin, there are a number of contraindications to tattoo removal:

Pregnancy,
Skin diseases (dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, acne, furunculosis, pyoderma and others),
Viral infections (including respiratory infections),
Oncological diseases,
Epilepsy,
Cardiovascular and vegetative-vascular diseases.

You can remove a tattoo in cosmetology clinics and tattoo parlors licensed to carry out cosmetic tattoo removal operations. Complex tattoo removal with peeling or flap replacement requires surgical intervention, therefore it is carried out in clinics and beauty salons licensed by a medical institution.
