Removing tattoos at home
Today, methods of removing tattoos are known, which are used not in medical, but at home. They are popular because of their simplicity, but at the same time have unpredictable effect and can greatly damage health.
Iodine tattoo removal
This method is not safe. It is absolutely contraindicated to people with thyroid gland diseases.
- Using 5% iodine, lubricate the area of the skin with a tattoo. On the first day iodine tattoos need to be treated 3 times.
- The next day the drawing should be wound with a cotton swab soaked in iodine several times. Since iodine burns the skin, it will gradually become crusty, and fall off along with the paint.
- If after 14 days the picture remains, you should resort to another method of removing the tattoo.
In order for the skin to regenerate faster, use the actovegin ointment daily for the night.
Removing a tattoo with cream is a biochemical method
Rejuvi Tattoo Remover is a tattoo removal cream. His method is based on the chemical interaction of coloring elements of tattoo with substances entering the cream - inorganic compounds of metals are rejected by the skin under the influence of the cream, and therefore soon the pattern disappears.
The advantages of the method are as follows:
- the least traumatic method;
- inexpensive;
- during 2 procedures from the tattoo can be disposed of forever.
The cream is used in 4 stages:
