Do tattoo removal creams really work?

Answer by  Kelmaz (339)

Tattoo removal creams do not work only surgery works such as laser removal surgery and even in these instances it takes several treatments to fully remove a tattoo, there may be creams that fade the ink but time will also achieve this result.

No, they don't. Laser is the only known way to remove tattoos and even they are not 100% effective, so you will be wasting your money if you buy a cream. The tattoo ink is well underneath the skin and getting it out without damaging the skin is not so easy.

Because tattoo ink is embedded in the middle layer of the skin, once a tattoo has healed, and a layer of skin has formed over it, it is unlikely that a tattoo removal cream will be effective. Certainly it will not produce uniform lightning of the tattoo ink. A very new tattoo may be faded with these creams.

Tattoo Removal creams work a little bit, but are nowhere near as effective as getting it lazered off. I suggest getting it lazered off because some lazer specialists are so good it doesn't even look like the tattoo was even there.
