A Canadian student developed a new method to remove the tattoo without feeling pain.
The method allows for those who wish to remove a tattoo just by using some sort of cream.
Reporting from the CBC, the developed method was different from the method of removing tattoos using a laser that requires a lot of costs, even in certain cases cause burns, abrasions.
"We have designed a drug that does not have much effect," said Alec Falkenham.
The method, according to 27-year-old student targeting skin cells to normal, so there would be no inflammation.
In fact, based on a proven process that has done no side effects such as inflammation.
When the tattoo, the ink is injected into the skin, essentially causing the immune response and the cells moved to the area 'macrophages' then becomes the color of the ink.
Simply put, some of the ink into the gland body, but others remain stranded in your skin, forming a tattoo.
Cream was called Falkenham able to make new microphages then 'consume' the old ink, it causes the tattoo process to be landless but surely fading.
Not only is it safer method than laser, but it should be much cheaper.
Shark tattoo below into evidence shown by Alec, cream produces.
Color amid long faded into the original color of the skin tattoos owners. The process took place gradually.
Falkenham not know how many applications will be required (the cream is still in the testing phase), but he expects four cents per square centimeter, or about $ 4.50 or £ 3 to 10 centimeters by 10 centimeters wide.
"He (alec) coming to ILI with the idea, associated with his graduate studies, which can be applied in real life," said Andrea McCormick, manager of health and life sciences at Falkenham's Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.
"Research has shown initial good results and the next phase of the research will develop the technology into a product that can eventually be brought to the market," he said.
