Hello!

So I have a tattoo on my arm that I'm trying to laser off... I've had a couple of sessions (different removal company) but I have hyperpigmentation (Asian skin) and some discoloration. The new removal technician said she wouldn't touch it unless I used a melanin blocker for two weeks prior to my session with her. She only told me about a discontinued product that is no longer sold to the public and gave me no other options. Could someone recommend a cream or ointment that contains melanin blockers? I keep searching online and I'm not sure what the active ingredient is that I should be looking for.

Any help is appreciated!
 
Hello oahctrec:
I suffer from the same problem as you, and have started laser treatment. In addition to that, I got glutathione IV-drip, which I have read can help control the melanin production on the skin. Just had one session of both laser and glutathione so still early to judge the results. But keeping the faith it will help.
Good luck !!!
