What is the procedure for removal of tattoo?

Patient's Query

Hello, I want to know the complete procedure of tattoo removal and cost too. Tattoo was made 5 years ago. Please guide.

Answered by Samruddhi Bhartiya

In our knowledge, there are 4 treatments to help with the aforesaid issue; laser removal, surgical removal, dermabrasion, and creams.
Local anesthesia is used in laser treatment which is spread over 6 to 8 sessions, sometimes more. The pigment colors of tattoos are broken with high intensity light beam.
In surgical removal or excision tattoo removal, your tattooed skin would be cut and replaced with the bare skin tissues from other organs. It's effective as well as less expensive.
Dermabrasion involves removing layers of your skin to allow ink to leach out. Efficacy varies, in some cases you are able to get rid of most of the tattoo using this method.
Creams can lighten the tattoo at the best but their efficacy is debated however.
There's a risk of scarring in all treatments above except that of creams, and therefore it's advised that post these treatments you avoid tight clothes, exposure to sun, and picking on scabs. The cost varies from 1500-6000 INR per session. We have an updated list of Dermatologists in India, you can refer and connect with experts to get more information

how are doing my name is nene an from Rwanda i want to ask about skincare because my face looks like 30 years old but I am 20 years?

Female | 20

There are many reasons why your skin may appear older than you’d like. Some of the most common include excessive sun exposure, smoking, and dehydration. Additionally, stress and genetics can also contribute to this issue. To improve the condition of your skin, it is advisable to apply sunscreen every day, drink plenty of water, eat a balanced diet, and quit smoking. Using mild cleansers along with moisturizers can help maintain a healthy complexion.

Montelukast sodium and fexofenadine hydrochloride is this tablet for skin allergy

Female | 45

Yes, Montelukast sodium and fexofenadine hydrochloride are two of the medications used to cure skin allergies. Skin allergy patients usually get symptoms like itching, redness, and rashes. They perform this role by impeding the action of those substances on the parasympathetic nervous system. Consult an allergist before starting these medications for your skin allergies.

Hello. Roughly one month ago I purchased a home wart removal kit to remove what appeared to be a benign wart on the back of my knee. The nozzle on this device broke during use, spraying an area roughly two inches in diameter on my skin with dimethyl ether. This caused a small superficial frostbite/burn, but didn't take care of the wart so I used another kit afterwards which used a swab rather than a nozzle. After using both of these, the area blistered. This blister quickly popped and fell off on its own after just a day, leaving an area of incredibly raw and bloody skin. I applied neosporin to this area regularly and kept it clean allowing it to heal. It's been a month now and while this area isn't entirely healed, it has protective skin on it now. My issue here is the area has a blotchy dark coloration now, looking almost like bruising. This seems odd to me given that it's been a month now, should I be worried about this coloration? There is no pain at the site, though the skin there is quite thin and rough.

Its natural to experience discoloration in skin especially after a blister or wound has occurred. color changes during the healing process. It could be due to hyperpigmentation which is the increased production of melanin in that area. This can result in a bruise-like appearance.
