In the past few years,Tat-Med's ingredients have been shown to diminish small to medium tattoos as well as to pre-fade large tattoos prior to laser treatments.

But isn’t that whatALLtopical tattoo removers claim to do?

Sure. This review will focus on how they do it.

TatMed was born of a new generation of thinking about tattoo removal products.  It had to happen. A number of ingredients in older tattoo removers turned out to be risky at best and unsafe at worst. Several countries placed outright bans on skin products containing one common chemical, hydroquinone. Unfortunately, it can still be found in some tattoo removers marketed in the US, in spite of a link to cancer.

The challenge was to create a tattoo remover that avoided dangerous chemicals.  TatMed developers found an answer in Alpha Arbutin, and Kojic acid.  Both ingredients have been found safe for use on the skin.  Tat-Med's ingredients do not damage skin: avoiding the pain, blistering and cracking strong chemicals can cause.

The ingredients in TatMed work differently than other tattoo removers. Many tatoo removal products depend on TCA (Trichloroacetic acid). TCA is a skin peeling acid, and that tells the story. Tattoo removers using TCA and hydroquinone work by burning off layers of tattooed skin, causing them to peel. It was once thought to be the only way to fade a tattoo.

The TatMed formula works to draw inked layers of skin to the surface, where the body replaces skin constantly. Use of an exfoliating pad is necessary for this process to work. There is a tradeoff: it takes time, and repeated applications, for Tat-Med to work. However, for the amount of money and pain one can save, many of those with unwanted tattoos are now using topical tattoo removal creams and gels more than ever.
