Tattoo Removal Methods: 1500 Years in the Making

Did you know that people first created processes to remove their unwanted tattoos as many as 1500 years ago?

During the past 1500 years, various methods of tattoo removal have been created, tested and (many) rejected for lack of successful results. Of the more successful tattoo removal methods, one common thread is evident: the use of chemical peeling agents.

For more information about the history of tattoo removal, read this study.

If you've been thinking about tattoo removal options, don't forget to consider chemical tattoo removal. Unlike laser tattoo removal, chemical tattoo removal is much more affordable and when using products like Nuviderm, treatments can be done at home.

Tattoo Removal Creams: Same as Nuviderm?

So you may be wondering if tattoo removal creams are the same as Nuviderm at-home fade and tattoo removal. The answer is NO!

Tattoo removal creams commonly contain hydroquinone, which is a carcinogenic that has been banned from many European and Asian countries. This harmful ingredient can lead to darkening of the skin in the treated area, which is the exact opposite result wanted when trying to remove a tattoo!

Nuviderm is not a cream and does not contain hydroquinone. Nuviderm at-home fade and tattoo removal contains TCA, which is a common skin peeling agent used by dermatologists, health spas and cosmetic surgeons. Nuviderm is a liquid solution that when mixed with distilled water, effectively allows you to fade and remove your tattoo at home.

Can a Tattoo Really Be Removed? I Thought They Were Permanent...

If you've ever gotten--or thought about getting--a tattoo, you've probably heard the warnings from your friends and family. "A tattoo? Are you sure? They're permanent!"

A tattoo is made by inserting ink into the layers of the skin. This process is used so that your inked design stays on your body forever. Because of the permanency of the process, tattoos are a great way to show your interests, love and personality off without any day-to-day upkeep.

But what if years from now, you change your mind about your inked design? Can you remove a tattoo?

Luckily, there are various forms of tattoo removal. One tattoo removal option is using TCA, or trichloroacetic acid, which is a common skin peeling agent used by doctors, health spas and private individuals to remove fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars on the face. Nuviderm fade and tattoo removal uses TCA as its main ingredient and is effective in fading away tattoos with proper treatment.

Nuviderm is affordable (considerably less expensive than other tattoo removal methods like laser treatment) and treatment can be done in the privacy of your own home. Read more about the tattoo removal process, and then find out about more about the Nuviderm products and kits available.

Tattoos: A Love/Hate Relationship

At the time, you thought it was a good idea to get that tattoo of your boyfriend's name on your shoulder. The relationship was meant to be; it was supposed to last a lifetime--just like the ink on your body. Now you're getting married--to a different guy--and don't want to walk down the aisle with someone else's name on your shoulder.

At the time, you loved the tattoo of your band's name scripted across all ten of your knuckles. Unfortunately, a prospective employer doesn't feel the same and you're worried you've decreased your chances of getting hired.

Sometimes, that tattoo of a cartoon character you loved and thought you'd always want just isn't your style anymore.

Fortunately, there are methods available to remove tattoos including laser, dermabrasion and removal creams. These tattoo removal methods range in price, length of treatment and ease of use.

Nuviderm is cost-effective, quick and easy-to-use treatment for tattoo removal. Nuviderm's fade and tattoo removal is made with TCA, or trichloroacetic acid, which is commonly used by doctors, health spas and private individuals to remove fine lines and wrinkles.
