Do the tattoo removal creams work?
Hi, I work for a chain of laser tattoo removal clinics called Dr. TATTOFF. You might have seen us on TV – we’ve been on “LA Ink” and “Dr. 90210” a few times this year. Speaking only from personal experience, we’ve seen more than a few people come into our clinics who have used any number of tattoo removal creams, and I have yet to see a good result. In nearly all cases, there has been no fading, and in many cases the creams have caused scarring. I highly recommend speaking with a dermatologist before trying one of these creams out. There’s also plenty of information on the Dr. TATTOFF website (www.drtattoff.com), as well as our Medical Director, Dr. Will Kirby’s blog (http://rethinkyourink.blogspot.com). He’s a board certified dermatologist, an expert on tattoo removal, and he generally responds to questions and comments left on his blog within a day. Hope this helps!
