Is dermabrasion efficient for old tattoo removal? my right shoulder tattoo is about 5 inches in diameter and was made 10 years ago when i was about 20. it has significantly faded. i am a healthy male and i don't have any medical conditions that i am aware

Dermabrasion : Dermabrasion is not a standard tattoo removal treatment these days. It generally leaves a scar worse than the tattoo you're removing. There are several types of lasers available to remove tattoos of various color. I would find a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has the appropriate laser available to address your tattoo.

It : It can be but may leave a scar that is as ugly as the tattoo. The current preferred method of tattoo removal is by laser treatment. There should be plastic surgeons or dermatologists in your area that do this.Check the link below to start a search. Good luck!
