Tattoo Removal History
Tattoos have been gracing the bodies of humans for over five thousand of years. For almost as long people have tried to remove them. With advancement in laser technology it easier than ever before to remove tattoos.
While the results vary from person to person and no laser removal is 100% guaranteed, the latest advancements have created processes in reducing pain and damage to the skin. Our clients at ERASE have reported great stories after treatment with the Asclepion TattooStar Effect Laser featured in the photo above. This amazing laser has advanced technology that allows us to remove tattoo's more efficiently and more effectively for our clients.
Tattoo history is extensive and have been found in many cultures around the world going as far back as 300 BC. Some of evidence includes a discovery in Eurasian near the Alps on "Otzi the Iceman". Other ethnic groups including those of German and Celtic origins had tattoos as far as 2nd millennium BC.
Tattoo removal has always been something people around the world have attempted to do but not until now have they been truly successful at doing so. In the past people tried often-extreme processes to remove unwanted tattoos. This included dermabrasion, TCA, which removes the top layer of skin through the use of chemical acid, and lastly Sal abrasion, which is the process of removing the top layer of skin with salt. All of these past tattoo removal processes were extremely painful and did not create enough results for many people to continue.
Often people who had tattoo regret or bad tattoos were forced to live with them for the rest of their lives. With this came home remedies and creams that some still try to use to this day. The most popular of those included a mixture of garlic, lime and wine and some even attempted to remove tattoos with pigeon excrement. Again, these did not truly remove the tattoo. Home remedies, cremes and balms can not go deep enough into the skin to break up the ink particles of the tattoo and often misrepresent results. There are now many products which claim to remove tattoos but unfortunately there is only one medical lotion that is FDA approved. This cream needs to be prescribed by a doctor and is not often recommend.
In the 90's the Q-switched laser began introducing people to professional laser tattoo removal. From then on the technology only kept advancing and improving results of laser treatments.
The treatment amounts and length of sessions continues to get shorter. This allows people to experience less pain and get faster results. While technology has advanced it is important to mention a major reason in success of tattoo removal is not only based on the laser but also the person. Good overall health and immune system is critical in successful tattoo removal.
