Used by dermatologists as well as at health spas, TCA is a safe skin peeling method employed to remove or fade ink. In fact, TCA has proven especially effective in removing colors such as blues, oranges, greens and yellows, which often prove more resistant to lasers. It has also been said to have better results removing “bracelet” tattoos around the ankles for some reason.

It has also been used to successfully reduce and remove wrinkles and other fine lines, as well as stretch marks and acne scaring, as well as getting rid of moles and calluses with out the need for prescriptions.

In order to remove a tattoo, a controlled inflammation is generated on the skin to force the break-up of the ink a allow new cells to form on the surface of epidermis through repeated treatments, performed once every month and a half to allow the skin to recuperate a bit in between. Actually peeling, however, can take up to two weeks to commence, with another week after that to shed all the dead skin cells.

While many people may experience a stinging sensation during the process, TCA is considered one of the mildest forms of tattoo removal, and is applied with a Q-tip. In fact, TCA tattoo removal cost ranging anywhere from $39-$59 can be purchased for home use.
