Who can afford to shell out ten grand for laser tattoo fading? Maybe Angelina Jolie. (The tabloids say she has tat regret.)
Don't think a tattoo removal cream is a second-rate option. It works. Give it time. Make a game of it. Race Angelina or a buddy. Chances are you'll get there first.
Choose your tat cream carefully. Watch out for serious side effects and complications from skin peelers. TCA (Trichloracetic Acid) is an acid skin peeler. Obviously, burning off skin hurts. It is so painful that dermatologists use anesthetic when using it on acne scars or wrinkles. A tattoo removal cream is gentle. It draws ink to the surface with the help of an exfoliating device/pad, where it is naturally shed. Acid is not gentle. Docs use it on wrinkles but not generally on tats. Patients aren't satisfied with the fading. They end up with permanently messed up skin.
There are two huge differences between a tattoo removal cream and TCA fading.
1. Pain
2. Scar and complications
1. Pain
• A removal cream does not hurt. The ingredients do not break the skin.
• TCA cracks the skin. (By the way, lasers damage skin, too. Ten grand for a nice scar.)
2. Risk of scars and complications
A removal cream does not scar. A complication, if you can even call it that, is that at first the tat looks brighter. This doesn't last long. It shows the product is working.
• Trichloracetic acid leaves a scar. Skin is fragile. When wounded it always scars.
• Severe burns happen if you use the stuff around your eyes, mouth, and lips. Even the websites selling TCA products warn you not to use it on your face.
• It can be used ONLY on Caucasian skin. It really messes up black, brown and Asian skin.
A good cream is safe, painless, works over time on any skin color, and doesn't attack your skin.
