When you start thinking about options for getting your tattoo removed, you may be wondering about how you could go about it safely. At 1 Health edical Centre, we specialize in effective and safe laser tattoo removal, with experts guiding you throughout the entire process.
Do Tattoos Boost Confidence?
You may have enjoyed a nice confidence boost when you first got your tattoo and also felt a sense of pride in the message your tattoo portrayed. Perhaps you may have even gone out of your way to show it off whenever possible. According to research conducted with more than 2000 college students in 2015, researchers actually found a correlation between self-esteem and tattoos. Especially, people who had more than three tattoos reported having higher self-esteem when compared to people with fewer or no tattoos.
Are Tattoos a Sign of Low Self-Esteem?
Over time, your beliefs and attitudes may have changed. You might feel differently now even if you once loved your tattoo(s). The tattoo that you once flaunted proudly, may now be a source of embarrassment for you. Although just having tattoos is far from a sign of self-confidence or low self-esteem, the reality is that a “dated” tattoo or a poorly done tattoo which a person regrets getting done can definitely impact their confidence.
Can Permanent Tattoos Be Removed?
Contrary to what the term implies, Yes, permanent tattoos can be removed. However, the removal method you choose is crucial as this should be considered keeping your tattoo, skin type, and your lifestyle in mind.
Some of the most common tattoo removal options are; The first utilizes a laser for hair removal, short bursts of high-intensity laser energy break through the skin and start absorbing the pigment of the tattoo until it’s no longer visible. Most of the time to achieve the best results, laser tattoo removal must be done in several sessions - but this could vary depending on the complexity of the case.
Another tattoo removal option is microdermabrasion, which generally involves removing the top layers of skin that contain the pigment. A method known as excision may also be considered for smaller tattoos. This process involves cutting the tattooed skin away literally and stitching the skin back together.
Can You Remove a Tattoo at Home?
If you’ve been researching about tattoo removal, you may have been targeted by ads for at-home removal options in the form of lotions or creams. However, none of these have been cleared or reviewed by the health authorities - so there is no guarantee that they are safe or if they even work. So it's better to keep distance from any at-home tattoo removal products, which could cause burning, scarring, skin rashes, and other undesired side effects. If you’ve made up your mind to get your tattoo removed, have it done by a professional.
