We recently had a visitor here, named Mike, to the Tattoo Removal Creams Guide site write and ask us about Dermasal tattoo removal.  He had a tattoo that he’d gotten on his forearm when he was younger that he wanted to cheaply remove. But is there such a thing as cheap tattoo removal he wanted to know?  A few minutes into a google search, Mike found himself at the Dermasal website, reading about a product that claims to remove tattoos in as little as 3 months. Which then brought up the question on his mind – and everyone elses who also wants to remove a cheap tattoo – does this Dermasal tattoo cream really work?

While the company makes the bold claim that their product will work on any tattoo with any color or shape, the truth is a little different. While the process used here for Dermasal, much like that of it’s more popular counterpart, Wrecking Balm, works in the same way with all tattoo ink insofar as the behind the scnes process that makes it work, people buying tattoo removal creams are going to see the most success when they have a tattoo that meets the following criteria:

• The smaller the tattoo, the easier it’ll be to work with Dermasal (or any other OTC tattoo balm.) The reason for this is simple – it’s simply less to work with!
• The older the tattoo, the better. This is because it’s highly likely that the tattoo has seen some natural fading over time already, which means there’s less ink in the skin to dissolve or remove.
• If the tattoo was done by an amateur, it’ll likely be easier to remove with Dermasal, too. This is because if an amateur did the tattoo, the depth of the ink is likely to be closer to the surface of the skin, thus making its removal all that much easier.

So what if your tattoo is big, new, and was done professionally? A product like Dermasal is still going to fade the ink but it’ll be a slow and expensive process. It’s worth considering upgrading to a more efficient method such as laser tattoo removal in these cases. However, that may very well cost a lot more money – as in, a couple thousand dollars more, over any of the relatively cheap tattoo removal cream products on the market. Because Dermasal carries a money back guarantee, you might want to consider trying out their product first to see what results you’ll get on your tattoo before moving on to more expensive removal options.
