Recently there's been a large increase in the amount of and hype for whats known as tattoo removal creams. These tattoo removal products are sold without any interference from a doctor or medical professional. In fact, the whole premise of their marketing is that you can buy them without a prescription and simply apply the creams in the comfort of your own home to remove an unwanted tattoo.
However, what about their safety? Is it safe to use these creams without a doctor? And do they actually even work - will it really remove an unwanted tattoo from your body? If you are considering buying Wrecking Balm or Tat B Gone, two of the most popular tattoo removal lotions and creams out there, you'd be wise to find these answers before opening your wallet. In this article, we will address these answers. Let's start with the question of safety.
Are removal creams harmful? No, they are not. At least not according to the FDA. While the ingredients together for a specific product aren't tested exclusively, the ingredients used fall under the umbrella term, from the FDA, as "generally recognized as safe." This means you shouldn't have to worry about their harmful effects, or lack thereof.
There are lots of different tattoo removal lotions and whatnot out there, but for the most part, anything sold over the counter works the same way. You'll be told to put on the first layer which prepares your skin for treatment. The second lotion is what actually effects the ink, fading it from the body, and the third lotion is applied to seal the second and help it works its magic. Over time, the idea is that repeated applications eventually fade the ink into oblivion.
But does it work like this in reality? For older tattoos, the answer is yes. For newer tattoos, the answer is a weak yes! It does work but it can take many tries to get the tattoo gone. For this reason, it can make more sense to spend the money on a different yet more effective method, such as rejuvi or laser tattoo removal.
