Laser Tattoo removal and fading creams?

Question

I've had roughly 5 laser treatments for my tattoo. It is fading, but I'm curious as to whether putting a skin lightening cream in conjunction with my treatments will help fade it faster? This would be of course just to spare myself added surgery (expenses) as well as pain (the tattoo is on my back and the surgery feels worse every time).

Just wondering if anyone has done this/recommends this?
If not, is there anything else I can do to move it along?

Answer 1

The creams and liquids don't work and
may include something that will cause
infection in the wound.
The laser treatment will leave you with
a scar and there are some colors that
will still be there...green is one.

The idea is not to rush it. Tattoo laser centers do removals FAR too close together. You are going to have to wait it out to get it done correctly.

If you wait three months in between each session you will need less treatments. It will take longer of course, but it will be cheaper for you in the long run and much better for your skin.

ALL lasers are not created equally. IF you have multiple colors, you will need different lasers. Quality laser centers understand this. The Medlite laser, for instance, can handle four different spectrums.

DON'T mess with any creams of any kind for removal - ESPECIALLY since you are in laser therapy.

sorry, when they say a tattoo is permanent, they mean it. laser is the sole way of removing a tattoo, and it takes MANY treatments, and is not 100% successful in all cases. be patient. a cream will only work on top layer of skin, the tattoo is in the next layer, which is why it is permanent.
