Tat-Med Review: Can it Fade and Help Erase Tattoos?

The business of tattoo removal continues to grow each year. This is because many of those that have tattoos are now beginning to regret them and or are not allowed to have visible tattoos at their place of employment. However, if one wants to get rid of their tattoo, what options do they have? Laser Treatments? Surgery? Topical Treatments?

The first option most people think of is to use a high-powered laser to directly target the pigments in the tattoo until the tattoo is removed. Unfortunately this process is extremely expensive as well as painful. When you try to remove a tattoo via laser treatments, it will require multiple visits depending on the size of the tattoo. These treatments can easily run into the thousands of dollars sometimes costing upwards of $10,000 to thoroughly remove an intricate tattoo. Additionally, most people that use a laser treatment to remove a tattoo complain that it was more painful than having the original tattoo done in the first place.

Another option to have a tattoo removed is having it surgically removed through Dermabrasion techniques. This process is essentially having the skin removed via sand paper until the new skin eventually replaces the tattooed skin. As with laser treatments, this process is expensive and obviously extremely painful which is why it is not recommended and not used by many people.

Finally, there is the alternative option of using a topical tattoo remover like Tat-Med. For the purposes of this article, I will examine both the strengths as well as the weaknesses of Tat-Med.

To begin, it is important to examine the ingredients used in TatMed. The most obvious ingredients are Alpha Arbutin and Kojic Acid. Alpha Arbutin is arguably the most important ingredient used today in skin lightening treatments such as tattoo removal gels. This is because this specific ingredient has been proven to be effective while at the same time remaining safe to use on the skin. In addition, Kojic Acid has also been proven to be effective and is not as harsh as the name makes it sound.

In fact, Kojic Acid is so safe it is also used on fruits to prevent them from changing color once they are cut. These are the two most important ingredients used in TatMed and are also what help distinguish it from the rest of the other tattoo removal products available. This is because although a few other treatments do rely on these ingredients some tattoo removal products use the potentially harmful TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid). While TCA is recommended by some skin care professionals, there are risks of using a chemical peel at home. If something were to go wrong, you would be extremely limited in terms of receiving immediate medical care.

On the negative side, the ingredients used in tattoo removal creams and gels like Tat-Med may take longer to see results than using a laser to remove the unwanted tattoo.

In conclusion, based on the effectiveness of the ingredients used in Tat-Med, I believe that Tat-Med can fade and help erase unwanted tattoos without risking one's health.
