The best way not to regret getting a body tattoo is to not get it at all. But if the tattoo was still filled, and for some reason it is desired to reduce it, then you need to understand some important points. Which ones, the doctor will tell VOICE.
Modern technologies and tools in the hands of a dermatologist can work wonders. However, the tattoo reduction process should be treated the same as any other medical manipulation. Here are 10 things you need to know if you decide to remove an unloved pattern from your skin.
Not everyone can remove a tattoo
Can any tattoo be removed? It is better to rephrase this question as follows: “Can anyone remove a tattoo?” “. Unfortunately no. Contraindications are diseases of the cardiovascular system, some skin diseases, oncology, pregnancy and lactation, diabetes mellitus.
If scars or scars subsequently appeared near the drawing on the skin or on the drawing itself, this drawing cannot be reduced. If your doctor asks you questions about your health before removing your tattoo, answer them honestly. If the specialist is not interested in anything and speaks immediately ready to get to work, do not hesitate to leave the office.
Only one way out
There is no choice as to how to get rid of a tattoo as such, as there is only one method that is both effective and safe. It is a laser effect on the skin. The most reliable way to perform this procedure is not in a tattoo parlor, but in a dermatologist’s office.
Preparation is important
Before removing the tattoo, the skin should be free of sunburn. Therefore, 2-3 weeks before the procedure, you should limit the exposure of the skin to UV rays. If hair grows in place of the drawing, it must be removed immediately before the procedure.

It will hurt
Yes, the procedure to remove a tattoo is painful, but in a doctor’s office it is performed under local anesthesia. After exposure to the laser, the skin is cooled, which reduces the degree of pain.
Be patient
For a complete reduction of the table, several procedures spaced 2 to 3 months apart will be necessary. Sometimes the whole process takes several years. The tattoo is gradually reduced: it clears up from intervention to intervention. Therefore, if you plan to bring a “tattoo”, plan in advance a schedule of visits to the doctor for at least a year.
“Anna got a quick tattoo, I want it too”
No, no and no. There can be no “like Anya” in this case. An individual approach is always applied to any image on the skin. The speed of convergence depends on the age of the drawing, the type of skin and the color of the tattoo.
Possible side effects
After each procedure, skin discomfort, swelling, crusts and itching may occur. The doctor will tell you what kind of care you need at home to minimize side effects.
Think about the complications
When removing a tattoo from the skin with a laser, you may develop scarring. In this case, you will have to stop mixing.
EMERGENCY EXIT
You cannot remove the tattoo, but simply fill it with a new pattern. But it should be understood that in the future it will be even more difficult, more expensive and longer to remove a “tattoo on another tattoo”.
It will touch your pocket
Removing an old tattoo is quite expensive: from 500 rubles per square centimeter in one session. At the same time, it is absolutely impossible to go for a low price if you are not sure of the high quality and medical control of the procedure.
Also consider the additional costs – these are mostly home skin care products. You may also need to spend money on new clothes, as not all items and materials can come into contact with irritated skin.
