Hypo Pigmentation: An Effective Solution For Lightening Your Tattoos

Are you considering of getting laser lightening treatment to improve your looks? Before you proceed with any surgical procedures consult a plastic surgeon or dermatologist for consultation. They will review your medical history and other factors such as your lifestyle and diet to determine if laser lightening is appropriate for you. If you undergo laser treatments for any facial blemishes or want a removal for unwanted body hair consult a specialist. These experts can assist you in knowing if this is the right treatment for your skin type and desired results.

Many people ask how to get rid of body art using li-ft solution or another safe alternative. Li-It is a safe, effective and hygienic solution to remove body art safely. It is also hypoallergenic and does not contain acids. li-ft solution can be used on all facial skin areas (side and area) such as chin, upper lip, cheeks, neck, chest, back, buttocks, upper eyelid and cheeks.

Sterile water, test tubes and applicator are needed for every application. Prepare for treatment by cleaning the skin with warm water and mild soap to remove oil. Prepare for treatment by filling a small plastic container with sterile water and pouring in a quarter teaspoon of each: lemon seed extract, orange seed extract and Castor oil. Lightening products are available at your local pharmacy; make sure to ask for a product specifically formulated to lighten face or area tattoos.

After preparing thoroughly and fully applying the solution, wait at least fifteen minutes before removing the applicator. This gives the solution time to absorb into the skin and work its way deep into the follicle. For best results, wait until after at least thirty minutes to allow maximum absorption. You can also use your hands for effective application: place one cotton ball or swab over each area for maximum coverage and lightening.

For maximum results, follow up with a good quality exfoliation and mask. This will help remove dead skin cells, open up pores and speed up the healing process. The first step to using li-ft or its alternative product is to determine if you are a candidate for laser treatment to remove unwanted facial tattoos, decorative tattoos or body art. If you are, your next step is to schedule your cosmetic tattoos removal consultation to start your li-ft or other safe alternative lightening procedure. The American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery recommends that all patients who want to have cosmetic tattoos procedures performed before seeking the advice of a doctor should schedule six to eight weeks in advance.

Once scheduled for treatment, it’s wise to plan ahead for when you’ll have access to a salon. Li-ft lightening can only be performed in the office setting as the lasers used are extremely powerful and require a specially trained staff to safely perform the procedure. A cosmetic tattoos removal treatment can take anywhere from two to four hours depending on the depth of the ink and other variables. As you begin healing process, remember to stay out of direct sunlight, avoid direct contact with the sun and always wear sunscreen.

If you choose to have li-ft or an alternative tattoo removal method performed, be aware of other methods that can produce the same results. While orange seed oil has been touted as the most effective alternative to li-ft, it is also the strongest and the most expensive. A better choice might be a natural vitamin E oil such as grape seed oil, but the results won’t be nearly as dramatic.

When you have finished your tattoo lightening procedures, be sure to follow your pre-procedure test and aftercare instructions provided by your artist. The pre-procedure test is designed to evaluate the skin type and sensitivity to light to help prevent unwanted complications during your treatment. It is highly recommended that your artist give you a follow-up visit approximately one week after your last session to make sure the pigmentation has cleared up and that the area is healing. Your aftercare instructions will include avoiding contact with the treated area and strictly limiting sun exposure.
