How Does Nuviderm Work?
NuvidermTCA is a self regulating acid which typically stops working in 5-8 minutes. Nuviderm fade and tattoo removal works on the same principle as Laser tattoo removal, which is, by controlled inflammation. NuvidermTCA creates a controlled chemical inflammation and Laser Surgery* creates a controlled heat generated inflammation. Both methods work. The inflammation causes the ink to rise to the surface and slowly fade away with each treatment cycle. Nuviderm causes a stinging sensation which doesn’t hurt nearly as much as getting the tattoo. The simple act of blowing air on the site relieves the sting or it can be immediately neutralized with a baking soda and water mixture. Visit our Tattoo Removal Process page to learn more.
