The solution should be left on long enough to frost but washed off immediately with cold water if the burning sensation becomes too intense. A shower afterwards is recommended to wash off the rest of the solution especially if it has been used on a large area.
Controlled inflammation of the tattooed area occurs, causing the ink particles underneath the skin to break apart. The skin that holds these particles will peel off, fading the tattoo gradually and revealing new skin. The area has to be protected against the sunlight and dust to avoid any infections. You may use antibacterial cream to protect the area.
As A Pre Laser Treatment

Chemical peels also work best in removing ‘bad tattoos’. These tattoos are usually inked by amateurs. As highlighted above, professionally inked tattoos are often deeper since professional tattoo artists use special equipment and often better quality inks. This is why professionally done tattoos are usually deeper and darker. TCA is very suitable in fading and completely removing amateurishly inked tattoos.
On the other hand, brightly colored body art can also be easily removed using TCA unlike black tattoos. Color pigments fade away completely when you use it but dark black tattoos may require several TCA applications. Therefore making some of the most ideal candidates for TCA tattoo removal brightly colored tattoos.
How It Works
What TCA can do is to gently peel the upper layer of the skin to reveal new and healthier skin beneath it. The tattooed area where the solution is applied will slowly peel away the skin holding the ink. However, when the ink sits deeper than what the solution can reach, TCA can only fade the tattoo. If you are not comfortable with or can’t afford undergoing laser treatments, you have to be patient in applying and reapplying the TCA Tattoo Removal solution until you are satisfied with the results. Some body art may take 7-8 applications to remove. Also, if TCA Tattoo Removal proves to be very effective in removing the tattoo then there will be no need for laser treatments.
