Removing a tattoo through the use of rejuvi cream is one of the more interesting and novel developments to come about relatively recently in the world of tattoo removal. The technique is considered reliable and safe, and there is little doubt that it’s a valid method for removing a tattoo.
An important note on terminology: Although rejuvi is often described as a cream or lotion, it is not a tattoo removal method that should be confused with over the counter products sold as “tattoo removal creams”. While the cream itself can be purchased without a prescription, the application of it for tattoo removal is NOT a “do it yourself” or at home tattoo removal method. Rejuvi tattoo removal is a medical procedure that requires admistration via a trained medical professional.
The rejuvi method for tattoo removal works like this:
Using equipment strikingly similar to a tattoo gun, a trained medical professional administers the injection of rejuvi cream into the skin above the tattooed area. The rejuvi cream passes into the epidermis and connects with the pigments skin cells of the tattoo. The rejuvi cream then bonds with these pigmented cells. In other words, the cream and the ink merge together at a microscopic level. The body sees the rejuvi cream as an outside threat, and the immune system works to remove or expel it from the body. Because rejuvi bonds itself to the tattoo ink, it is then able to remove a bit of the tattoo when the body forces the newly bonded rejuvi/tattoo ink to the surface the skin. This will come out as a crust or scab. Over repeated treatments, rejuvi will remove all parts of the tattoo with each new crust formation.
Rejuvi tattoo removal services are usually offered at clinics that typically offer other cosmetic, aesthetic, and surgical procedures, such as hair removal or laser tattoo removal services. A person with a medium sized tattoo (say for example, 3 inches by 4 inches) can expect to need 3-7 rejuvi treatments to remove the tattoo. Treatments must be spaced a part by a few weeks in order for the technique to have time to work it’s magic. It’s important to confirm any dietary changes that need to be made before treatments; some doctors may ask patients to avoid drinking alcohol before treatments, for example.
The treatment itself does create a considerable amount of pain; however, it’s not as bad as the pain of getting a tattoo itself, and the time it takes to administer is much shorter than that of receiving a tattoo. Anyone who was able to withstand the pain of getting a tattoo will be OK dealing with the discomfort of removing it via rejuvi. Additionally, clinics often offer pain medication and/or numbing agents to relieve this discomfort.
One other important thing to note is that rejuvi can be used for the removal of permanent make up, also called cosmetic tattoo makeup. While it’s not safe for the removing any tattooed eyeliner, rejuvi can be used to remove permanent makeup such as that done to the eyebrows or as a lip liner.
