Names of ex-partners and outdated trends: these are the tattoos that are most often removed

“What does tattoo removal involve? What types of tattoos are most easily removed? Is it painful? Is it effective? How much does it cost? We spoke with experts to answer the most frequently asked questions.”

A tattoo is forever… Or is it? Not so many years ago, those who decided to get a tattoo did so with the idea of keeping it on their skin forever. However, there are also those who regret having done it, whether because of the area where it's done, because the tattoo itself has a meaning they don't want to keep remembering, or simply because they've changed their minds for aesthetic reasons. Nowadays, fortunately, The technique of tattoo removal is very advanced and is already considered a safe method, And it's becoming increasingly affordable to remove those drawings that we no longer want on our bodies.

How should it be treated?

As he explained Dr. Javier Pérez Diez, from Clínica Premium Marbella, "Certain care steps must be taken after a tattoo removal session, such as applying the antiseptic and anti-inflammatory cream prescribed by the specialist, washing the area with neutral soap, and not touching or scratching any blisters or scabs." It is true that if these precautions are not followed, as Isabel Estévez confirms, scarring or marks may remain.

Does it hurt to remove a tattoo?

All experts agree that it is uncomfortable but local anesthesia is not necessary. Javier Pérez assures that using an EMLA-type anesthetic cream is sufficient if we want to reduce the discomfort of the procedure., “"It's not painless, it's similar to having a laser hair removal session, but let's not forget that whoever removes a tattoo, got it first, and that's also a painful act.".
