There are many tips on the internet on how to remove permanent eyebrow, lip or art tattoo on any part of the body. Which of them really work, and which are useless or can harm - the dermatologist comments.
1. Salt
Salt is often recommended as a treatment for fresh tattoos. It is supposed to be used as a scrub, rubbing into the place of the tattoo.
Salt irritates and loosens the skin, its hypertonic solution draws liquid from the skin, it is possible to partially remove the pigment, but no one has yet been able to completely remove it. Cons: long-term healing, subsequent scarring and risk of infection, redness and swelling.

2. Bath
It is believed that if you got an unsuccessful tattoo, then going to the bathhouse and increased sweating will save you and the tattoo will disappear. The logic is simple: if the master prohibits the bath immediately after the procedure, then, acting on the opposite, you can get rid of the picture.
Baths are prohibited, first of all, because thermal procedures stimulate lymph drainage and increase blood circulation. The tattoo will remain, but the pronounced tissue edema, which will disrupt the vital activity of skin cells, can last up to a month.

3. Potassium permanganate
Internet users recommend removing tattoos with potassium permanganate. But they immediately warn that this leaves scars and crusts.
Dangerous way! Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidizing agent. It burns the skin. As a result, we get a chemical burn with risks of scarring and hyperpigmentation.

4. Iodine
It is believed that if tattoos are smeared with 5% iodine, then gradually they will fade.
Iodine can give some lightening of the pigment, but complete removal will not work, since the pigment lies in the dermis, and we apply iodine to the surface of the skin, from where it evaporates easily. I suppose that there will immediately be those who want to inject iodine deep into the skin, but in this case, a chemical burn and a scar are provided for you.

5. Hydrogen peroxide
The advisers say that if you rub the tattoo with 3% hydrogen peroxide, it will fade over time.
Hydrogen peroxide has a disinfecting and loosening effect, but it cannot remove the pigment. A harmless way, but also useless.

6. Body pigment
Many people recommend putting another tattoo on the tattoo, but this time in a flesh color. Experts warn in advance that tattoos on delicate areas and with a large area cannot be removed in this way.
This method is quite effective, but you need to be aware that after a while the body pigment changes its color. Then the question will arise about the removal of the already complex combined pigment.

7. Cold
Cryosurgery. The ink is burned out with liquid nitrogen. As a result, the skin becomes covered with blisters, which come off, removing some of the pigment.
An effective but very traumatic method. There are risks of scarring and hypopigmentation.

8. Electrocoagulation
Users warn that the procedure is quite painful and requires local anesthesia. First, a scab forms at the site of the tattoo, which disappears in 7-10 days, but the scar will remain and a long recovery period will be required.
In this case, the pigment is crushed by an electric discharge, but it remains in the skin. The method is painful and ineffective.

9. Laser
The most expensive and advertised method of treatment. During the procedure, laser flashes lighten the tattoo. Used in conjunction with a cooling anesthetic.
An effective but painful method. The disadvantage of a laser is that it is difficult to remove light pigments.
Tatiana Kleiman
10. Remover
Remover is a special brightening liquid that is used both in the correction of microblading and tattooing, and for the removal of artistic tattoos. First, it is injected, like a pigment, under the skin, and then this place is treated with a certain composition to consolidate the action.
Now there are many offers on the market of removers, some are good for removing organic pigments, others for inorganic pigments, and still others work with both. A definitely effective method. However, you need to follow the recommendations and apply the remover at home for a long time.
