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.

Are TCA Tattoo Removal Methods Successful?

According to a six-year medical study (performed from 1979 to 1984), approximately 85% of patients using TCA for tattoo removal were pleased with their results!

The tattoo removal medical study used a solution of TCA and distilled water to remove tattoos on 670 patients. The entire tattoo removal process and results were published in the study "The treatment of tattoos with TCA: experience with 670 patients" in the March 1988 issue of British Journal of Plastic Surgery.

TCA is the active agent in Nuviderm, an at-home fade and tattoo removal, making it an effective at-home tattoo removal treatment that is also affordable. Find out more about how Nuviderm removes tattoos.
