Remove Unwanted Tattoos Via The Tca Tattoo Removal Process

Removing tattoos can be a long, sometimes painful process. One option to consider before seeking laser removal is tca tattoo removal. TCA (trichloroacetic acid) is a skin-peeling chemical (available without prescription) frequently used by dermatologists, health spas, and private individuals. (In addition to tca tattoo removal, the agent is useful to remove fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars on the face.)

TCA tattoo removal reviews have been published in peer-reviewed, scientific journals including the British Journal of Plastic Surgery and the South African Medical Journal. In both studies, tca was found to be a safe, simple, and effective tattoo removal agent with an 85% success rate. Therefore, the tca peel for tattoo removal is recommended by scientists and professionals. Of interest, tca tattoo removal was first suggested as a safe means for tattoo removal as far back as 1928 in the highly respected Journal of the American Medical Association.

TCA peel for tattoo removal is the only non-prescription product to remove tattoos completely.

TCA tattoo removal works by creating an inflammation of the skin. This irritation causes the tattoo ink to break down and rise into the upper layers of the skin. Eventually, a person using tca tattoo removal will shed these upper layers of skin, hence losing the tattoo. TCA peel for tattoo removal takes multiple applications and the length of time to completely remove a tattoo varies.

TCA is applied, at home, with a q-tip and is not a cream. Some skin redness may linger for weeks or months following application. TCA is applied once every six weeks because after application it takes about two weeks for the skin to peel off its layers. Then, the skin needs to rest before starting the next peel. TCA peel for tattoo removal works on all tattoo colors, but newer tattoos are easier to remove than older tattoos.

There have not been any studies regarding whether the use of tca tattoo removal is safe in pregnant or breast-feeding women. Despite the fact that the agent has been available for more than 100 years, it is still recommended that pregnant and nursing women delay tca peel for tattoo removal.
