"Hey Dorian,
When you talk about natural tattoo removal, how does it work
exactly? I get that you're using body-safe, natural ingredients, but I don't
understand how they act on the body to remove tattoos."
I've been getting a lot of questions about this. It seems a lot of
people appreciate the safety aspects of natural removal (compared to laser),
but don't quite understand how natural removal works.
Accelerated exfoliation
Did you know that your skin exfoliates on its own, without you
doing anything?
It's true, in fact the layers of skin that you see are actually
dead. That's why you can rub a fingernail against your skin and not even feel
anything. But if you push deep or use the sharpened end of a pair of scissors –
different story. You're going to feel it, and it's not going to be pleasant. In
fact you may see some red. You didn't strike oil, but you did strike living
skin cells.
Accelerated exfoliation gets to that layer. It does so by doing
something the body normally doesn't do on its own -- it increases the rate at
which living skin cells die and rise to the surface.
Now this may sound like a bad thing, but the other side to the
exfoliation process is that young skin cells mature to take the place of the
ones on the layer above them that much quicker as well. So there's no harm, and
you get the added benefit of bringing up the deep subcutaneous skin layers that
normally don't exfoliate at all.
These are exactly the layers that tattoo artists target as they
embed ink. This is why tattoos hold for a long time even when the top layers of
your skin do not.
You can see where this is going. To remove the tattoo, we then
need to exfoliate deeper layers than normal. Here’s how: First we use various
ingredients to enhance skin exfoliation. Then these deeper layers come to the
top. The ink trapped alongside the deep layers comes up as well and wipes off
with the brush of a towel.
Of course all of this is an abbreviated explanation and it's not
going to happen that quickly, in fact it takes weeks. But when you compare that
to the much slower “vaporize, scar, heal, and vaporize again” laser approach to
ink removal, who in their right mind would choose laser?
Now you know why I say that the only people who choose laser
removal either don't understand or have never heard about natural deep
exfoliation. It's just plain a better method for tattoo removal.
Thankfully you don't have to make that mistake. If you don't
already have a copy of the Laserless Tattoo Removal Guide, everything we talked
about is in there, including the details on how to get it done with skin safe
ingredients from your grocery store: [link]
