Many dermatologists and spa centers rely on the use of TCA tattoo removal products as an alternative to surgery or laser interventions. The main ingredient is a peeling agent, an acid, with a very intense impact at the skin level. Although the skin sensation is pretty soft, as it just feels like water, careless application can lead to serious tissue damage. Yet, it is simple to perform any TCA tattoo removal by closely following the instructions.

A controlled inflammation takes place at the skin level. In reaction, the skin over the tattoo will start peeling in about a week after the application. This is the first stage of the TCA tattoo removal, because you will have to apply the peeling agent once every six weeks until the skin gets clean. As the acid agent continues to peel off the skin, the pigment eventually breaks and is eliminated naturally. Afterwards, new skin grows and no trace of the tattoo remains. It is important to carefully clean the skin portion over the tattoo so that it may rejuvenate without any risk of infection or scarring.

Even if the manufacturer claims a high efficiency level for TCA tattoo removal, it is impossible to predict how long it will take before you get the much hoped for results. The age of the tattoo, its size, the number of colors used and the skin pigment, all have an influence in the removal process. Moreover, nobody can tell how one is going to respond to the treatment. Don't forget to check the usage list for side effects.

Sometimes the repeated application of TCA products may affect the tissues more seriously than you can expect. Cease TCA tattoo removal if you experience very serious discomfort or pain at the skin level. Moreover, it is important to talk to your health care provider and eventually ask for guidance during the period of the treatment. Visit your doctor before applying the product to check your health. Such a precaution measure is not exaggerated if we think about the potential threats.
