WreckingBalm® Tattoo Fading Questions
Q1: How does WreckingBalm® System fade tattoos so effectively?
Doc Sez:Wrecking Balm® uses a proprietary formulation of combination tattoo fade treatments to gradually fade away tattoos. It uses 3 technologies so gentle you can fade your tattoo in the privacy of your own home, without an appointment and without a prescription. The uniqueness of this system is the combination of a microdermabrasion tattoo fade device for mechanical tissue deconstruction, and solvents and botanical chemical peels.
Q2: How long will WreckingBalm® System take to fade my tattoo?
Doc Sez:Doc Sez: Wrecking Balm® is devastating in-home tattoo fade system. There are many factors that determine the length of use including depth, ink density, color, and surface size of tattoo. When used as directed, it could take as little as 2 months if it is an amateur tattoo, or longer depending on your variables. Faithfully using WreckingBalm® is your key to faster tattoo fading. Remember: Tattoos are made to be permanent markings deep in the 2nd and sometimes 3rd layer of skin, using ink pigments made of chemicals, metal, plastics, cotton, India ink, pen ink, and/or vegetable matter. They are lodged in your skin tissue so they can hold a rich color and appearance. After many weeks of consistently using WreckingBalm® your body’s own activation of surface cell renewal becomes more efficient and regenerating skin will shorten thus speeding up the appearance of tattoo fading.
Q4: Why do some colors take longer to fade than others?
Doc Sez:Tattoos with reds and mixed yellows (mercury, cadmium) appear to fade quicker than greens (chromium) and blues (cobalt) because of their concentration and metal/plastic chemical pigment base. Homemade or amateur tattoos made of pen or India inks seem to fade quicker due the chemical makeup and concentration of ink pigment, along with the depth in skin.
Q5: Will WreckingBalm® System irritate my skin?
Doc Sez:Wrecking Balm® System is designed to be a powerful tattoo fade solution, without the pain and inconvenience of other tattoo fade methods. When used as directed, WreckingBalm® System is so gentle it has been approved for in-home tattoo fading . However, depending on the area of your body being treated you may experience a mild burning or irritation.

See warnings before use.
Q10: Are there clinical studies on the use of WreckingBalm® System?
Doc Sez: We have invested many years with independent labs to properly formulate the Wrecking Balm® System to meet the standards of Doc Wilson’s efficacy and safety. The ongoing research and testing results of the Wrecking Balm® System are proprietary and cannot be released at this time. Unfortunately, this is part of the agreement Doc Wilson’s WreckingBalm® System has with his scientists and labs. Additionally, every now and then we come across proprietary ink pigments that are new and homemade by certain tattoo parlors and we are constantly updating our formulation to fade these new ink pigments.
Q11: What is the Branding Butter™?
Doc Sez: We have included a high quality, color-matching concealer to instantly cover any unwanted tattoo for that special occasion. Keep it covered your while it fades. It's easy to apply, water-resistant, smudge-proof and stain-proof. What distinguishes the Branding Butter from expensive department store brands is the highly concentrated compounds that conceal dark to bright tattoos so well.
Q12: My tattoo looks like it is getting brighter. Why?
Doc Sez: In some cases a tattoo may appear to get brighter before it starts to fade. WreckingBalm® is designed to remove the upper layers of your skin above your tattoo pigments. The more skin you are removing above your tattoo the brighter your tattoo may appear. In fact your tattoo is getting closer to the skin’s surface with every application. Depending on your skin’s density in the tattooed area some tattoos may appear brighter sooner than others. For example, a tattoo on the back of the hand may not appear to be getting brighter while a tattoo on the arm may appear to get brighter because it is removing more skin layers in the epidermis.
