Considering getting some ink removed? There are several ways to approach tattoo removal:

  • 激光删除
  • 手术切除
  • 皮德拉斯州

Tattoo removal generally works, but some tattoos are much harder to remove than others. Older tattoos as well as stick-and-poke tattoos are easier to remove than newer ones, for example.

某些颜色也比其他颜色更容易移除。这些包括:

  • black
  • 棕色的
  • 深蓝
  • 绿色

Larger, more colorful tattoos are typically more time-consuming and expensive to remove than smaller, lighter, and less colorful ones.

由于副作用的风险,如果有的话,可以更难以去除纹身:

  • 暗皮肤
  • 像湿疹一样预先存在的皮肤状况
  • a health condition that affects the skin, such as herpes

但是,如果其中任何一个适用于您,这并不意味着您无法删除纹身。这只是意味着您可能需要更多时间来找到最佳的删除选项。

When thinking about tattoo removal options, you’ll want to consider several factors, including:

  • 成本
  • 疤痕风险
  • 效力
  • 时间承诺

同样,这些因素主要取决于纹身的大小,复杂性和条件,以及您的皮肤。

以下是快速查看不同类型的纹身删除与彼此相比如何,然后深入了解每个。

激光删除

大多数专家都考虑激光删除成为最成功和成本效益的纹身的方法。通常,激光没有完全地remove a tattoo. Instead, they significantly lighten or fade it so it’s much less noticeable.

Today, most tattoos are removed with a Q-switched laser, which sends out energy in one strong pulse. This pulse of energy heats up the ink in your skin to dissolve it. You’ll need to receive a number of laser treatments over several weeks or longer to remove your tattoo. Older or less complex tattoos will require fewer sessions, while newer or more complex tattoos will require more.

如果您有较暗的皮肤,您可能希望考虑Q-Switched Nd:YAG激光处理,这不太可能改变暗皮肤的颜色而不是传统的Q开关激光器。

一般来说,它需要 7到10个会议 用激光处理去除纹身。您必须在会议之间等待6到8周以获得最佳效果。

在每个会话之后,您需要遵循您给出的任何追踪说明。通常,这将涉及将抗菌软膏施加到您的皮肤上几天。软膏会有助于治愈你的皮肤并降低感染的风险。每次应用软膏时都会改变伤口敷料。

至少接下来的2周:

  • 保持处理过的区域清洁干燥。
  • Avoid wearing tight clothing.
  • 避免将处理过的区域暴露在阳光下。
  • Don’t pick at any scabs or blisters that form.

激光纹身拆卸通常具有较低的疤痕的风险,而不是其他清除选项,只要肯定不会在它愈合时挑选区域,因为这可以增加疤痕的风险。

手术切除

手术切除, also called excision tattoo removal, involves cutting off tattooed skin and stitching remaining skin back together. It’s the most invasive method of tattoo removal, but also the only guaranteed way to completely remove a tattoo.

它通常比激光去除昂贵,但它将永远留下疤痕。结果,通常只在较小的纹身上完成。

手术切除通常在整形外科办公室进行。在外科医生使用锋利的刀片的仪器之前,您将获得局部麻醉剂,称为手术刀刀片以切断纹身皮肤。然后,他们将剩下的皮肤缝合在一起。根据纹身的大小,程序本身可以花几个小时。

治疗过程将持续数周。在此期间,您将想要申请规定或推荐的软膏,以帮助治愈您的皮肤并避免感染风险。保持该网站清洁和从太阳中脱离2周,并遵循外科医生的后保险明说明。

皮德拉斯州

皮德拉斯州involves using a sanding device to remove layers of skin to allow ink to leach out. Its effectiveness varies widely from person to person, making it a less popular option.

如果您有非常敏感的皮肤或皮肤状况,您将想要跳过Dermabrasion湿疹。如果您缩短血液,您还可能在程序后体验出血,瘀伤和肤色变化的风险。皮肤较深的人也可能具有更大的皮肤色素变化的风险。

During a typical dermabrasion session, a clinician will administer a local anesthetic to reduce any pain. They’ll use a high speed rotating abrasive device that sands off the top layers of the skin to let tattoo ink escape.

通常,这是在化妆品外科医生办公室的一个程序中完成的。程序所取的时间长度取决于纹身的大小和颜色。较大的纹身有许多颜色可能需要一个以上的时间来治疗。

The treated area will likely feel painful and raw for several days after the procedure

完全恢复可能需要2到3周。治疗区域的粉红色或变色通常在8至12周内淡化。

随着您恢复,您的临床医生可以建议您:

  • 涂抹软膏以防止感染。
  • 在程序后避免直射阳光3至6个月。
  • 每次在外面都会涂抹防晒霜到网站。
  • Avoid wearing tight clothing on the site until it heals.
  • Avoid soaking the site in water as it heals.

Some people experience scarring from dermabrasion treatments. You can reduce scarring by:

  • 使用规定的药膏
  • 穿防晒霜
  • 避开太阳
  • 使用抗疤痕油和乳膏,治疗部位完全愈合后

治疗后,Dermabrasion可能导致:

  • 肤色的变化,如淡化,变暗或斑点
  • 感染
  • 发红或变色,肿胀和出血
  • 疤痕

为防止这些并发症,请务必遵循您的临床医生的追踪说明。确保临床医生也有适当的许可和良好的评论(更稍后在这)

Tattoo removal creams和chemical peels are the most widely available and least expensive option. There’s a reason why: There’s no solid evidence that they work.

根据轶事报告,它们可能会略显淡化纹身。最糟糕的是,他们可能会导致严重的 化学燃烧

Due to the high risk of skin irritation and allergic reaction, experts don’t recommend using DIY tattoo removal creams to get rid of your tattoo.

If you aren’t trying to go tattoo-free, it might also be worth considering getting a cover-up tattoo.

掩盖可以是伪装您已经拥有的纹身的成本效益,快速选择。如果您不喜欢纹身的设计,但不介意另一个纹身,这种方法是一个很好的选择。

当你要求纹身艺术家做一个掩饰时,他们会与你一起设计一个可以用来隐藏你已经拥有的纹身。

This may involve creating a design with heavier lines, more shading, or unique shapes. Many tattoo artists are quite skilled at creating new designs to hide unwanted tattoos.

在您同意设计之后,您的纹身艺术家就会像原来的纹身一样申请掩护。

Regardless of the tattoo removal method you choose, finding a qualified specialist is key for both safety and effectiveness.

最好开始与持牌皮肤科医生交谈,理想情况下是专门从事美容程序的人。他们可以指导您实现您的情况的最佳选择。如果需要,他们也可以将您推荐给能够执行程序的外科医生或其他医学专业人员。
