Nuviderm At Home Tattoo Removal – What You Need To Know

At home tattoo removal is a relatively new option and Nuviderm is leading the way with quality products, unsurpassed live consultation and an iron clad money back 6 month guarantee.

Tattoo removal is a lengthy process, don’t believe anyone who says otherwise. How could something meant to be permanent be easily removed? Even state of the art Lasers require several expensive and painful sessions with no guarantee of satisfaction which is why Laser clinics offer no money back guarantees.

Tattoo removal creams, on the other hand, offer a simple, pain free form of tattoo removal except for one thing – tattoo removal creams don’t work. They contain nothing more than a variety of skin pigment lightening products that may actually lighten the top layer of skin covering the tattoo by removing or inhibiting the production of melanin, the chemical in the skin that determines a persons skin color, but they don’t lighten or remove tattoo ink.

Skin lightening chemicals most commonly found in tattoo removal creams include hydroquinone, a suspected carcinogen banned in many Asian and European countries, alpha arbutin, kojic acid and bearberry extract. There is absolutely no medical evidence that any of these skin tone lightening chemicals have any effect whatsoever on tattoo ink. The best proof that they don’t work is the fact that not one tattoo removal cream manufacturer offers any kind of money back guarantee except for one, and they only accept returns within 30 days that have not been opened, require a Return Authorization number that can never be acquired and require that the returned package be insured by the sender. Fail to meet any of these stringent requirements and they keep your money. For all intents and purposes their so called “guarantee” is just a marketing ploy to try and reassure potential buyers of a risk free purchase when in reality no money will ever be returned.

The truth is, removing a tattoo is a lengthy process that requires patience, care and determination.The main difference in tattoo removal methods that actually work is the cost. One $39.95 ounce of Nuviderm contains the tattoo removal power of about $750.00 worth of Laser treatments and requires about the same amount of time. Put another way, Laser removal costs about 20 times what Nuviderm costs for an equivalent size tattoo. Nuviderm, if applied as directed, will also be much less painful than the laser procedure.

One weakness of laser removal of tattoos is the color of ink used in the tattoo. Laser destruction of tattoo pigment is limited by the wavelength of the laser in use. Many bright colors of tattoo ink such as white, yellow, pink, light blue and light green are simply not easily treatable by laser.

In fact, using Nuviderm will aid the process of laser removal, if used first, because it will fade the tattoo making the job of the Laser much easier and less painful – less tattoo pigment means fewer Laser treatments and less pain because the faded tattoo pigment results in a less harsh effect on the skin by the Laser beam. Or, you could just finish the job with Nuviderm and not even to go near a Laser clinic saving you the time, hassle and the expense of driving to and from a probably inconvenient Laser clinic location.

Tattoo Removal

The removal of a tattoo is often thought of as being a very painful process.  Although the process may have been very painful in the past, the technology of today offers methods of removing tattoos.  Currently, there are two options to remove tattoos that are rapidly becoming more and more popular – laser technology and light based technology.

Both surgeries used light energy to destroy the ink in the tattoo.  The ink in the tattoo will absorb the energy of the light, breaking it up.  Once the ink starts to break up, it can easily be passed through and out of your body through filtering.  In most cases this is extremely safe, as the ink is broken down into micro size to where it can easily pass through the body with no complications.

The process is actually similar to the surgery in which hair is removed.  The surgeon or doctor who performs the surgery will hold a wand to the skin that is being treated.  As he does this, the pulses of light are aimed at the tattoo, breaking up the ink.  The wand is normally held right up against the tattoo, as this makes the pulses of light much more effective.

Normally, the feeling that you’ll experience is best described as an elastic or rubber band flicking constantly against your skin.  If the tattoo is big, the pain could certainly be a bit more intense.  The area where the tattoo is at is also important, as sensitive areas may cause you quite a bit of pain and discomfort.  If the area in which you have the tattoo doesn’t have a lot of muscle or tissue, you’ll more than likely want to be numbed as much as possible before starting the procedure.

Both laser and light based treatments are somewhat similar.  With both tattoo removal procedures, the doctor that is doing the procedure will always apply a cooling gel to the tattoo area that is being treated to cool the skin and conduct the energy of the light.  This cooling gel helps to draw the light, and at the same time protect your skin.  The gel will feel cool to the touch, although it will help your skin when the light pulses start to break the ink apart.

If you’ve been thinking about having a tattoo removed you should consider both light and laser based procedures.  Keep in mind that they are both expensive, and both impose risks.  Depending on how big your tattoo is and what the procedure involves, you may need to spend a night or two in the hospital.  Even though both procedures do offer ways to have your tattoo removed, you’ll need to think long and hard before you make a final decision.

Laser Tattoo Removal A Second Chance

Justin asked:


Many people do things that they regret at some point in their life, especially when they are young.  Decisions can seem like a great idea one day and after the action has been taken on the decision, it can seem like a terrible decision down the road.  If you have made a decision that you have regretted, hopefully steps have been taken to reverse the decision you have made, which is sometimes possible and other times is not possible.

One decision that you may have made but now regret may be getting a tattoo.  Many people gets tattoos that they think are great when they are young but as they grow older they begin to think differently about the tattoo and start to dislike it, or even become embarrassed of it.  Thankfully, you now have the option of laser tattoo removal if you are one of the those many people that wishes that had never gotten their tattoo.  This option is also much more effective than other treatments that claim to remove tattoos as well.

When you decide that it is time to get rid of your tattoo and are thinking about using laser tattoo removal as the option to get this done, you will probably have many questions that you want to ask your specialist before deciding to move forward with the option.  With this, it is a good idea to make a preliminary appointment with the specialist to learn about the risks and the benefits of the treatment before scheduling the appointment to have your tattoo removed.

Some of the questions that will likely be running through your mind before you make an appointment with a laser tattoo removal specialist are if the procedure will hurt, how long it will take, how much it will cost, if there are any side effects, or if you will have a scar form the treatment.  These are all questions that will likely be addressed by the specialist and be sure to ask them if you have any more questions that have not been answered.  It is always a good idea to have all of your questions answered as they come up instead of worrying about them if they are left unanswered.  You will likely find that there are many more benefits to having this procedure done than there are risks because you can finally be rid of the tattoo that you have grown to dislike and can reveal that part of your body that you were likely covering up due to embarrassment.

Tattoo Removal Options

Tattoos have become the most important part in today’s fashion world. Those who like fashions would go for tattooing their body. Even there has been a lot of Guinness world record holder for tattooing almost all parts of their body.

Tattooing can be either permanent or temporary. Temporary tattoos won’t lasts. Their validity could be some 2-3 months. Permanent tattoos are fixed using machines in our body. They last for ages. But although they are considered permanent, there are some ways you could remove from their body. Either editing (partially remove) or completely removing is possible.

The best possible method that we have today is laser treatments. When laser is directed directly to the tattoo, it reacts with the ink and it breaks down which are then absorbed by the body and they disappear almost completely. The basic principle behind this is that every tattoo pigments have specific light absorption spectra. The laser light belonging to this spectra are subjected to the tattoo. Q-switched lasers are widely used now.

There are various Q-switched laser equipments like Q-switched Ruby, Q-switched Alexandrite etc. They actually defer according the laser used (in nanometers). Actually the tattoos may be subjected to laser treatment sessions not only once may be more. They are determined by the factors like size, color, type of ink used and the whether the tattoo is new or old. Some tattoos require between 15 to 20 treatments before they are completely removed. One such example is the Turquoise tattoos because there isn’t a laser that targets the color effectively.

There are a number of clinics specially designed for tattoo removing all over the world. There are other tattoo removal treatments available other than laser treatment. Some of them are IPL (Intense Pulse Light) which emits pulses of light directly onto the tattoo. They are considered efficient less pain laser treatment. Other methods are surgical excision and Dermabrasion where the tattoo is cut off and the skin is sewn back together. They are not generally preferred by people because it leaves a scar back.

There are various creams and lotions designed to make the tattoo to become less visible. They are home treatments where the consumer uses it according to his/her needs. Although the above methods are used, laser treatments are preferred widely for tattoo removal even though they are more painful than tattooing because it never leaves any scars or scraps.

The average laser tattoo removal cost ranges from 200 USD to 500 USD per treatment session. The price is not a fixed one and can be varied according to the factors like size, color etc. So the average cost may be between 1000 USD to 10,000 USD. So think twice before going for a tattooing because removing is more expensive and painful than fixing it and try not to go for a full body tattooing. Always consult a skin specialist or a cosmetic dermatologist before removing the tattoo.
