REMOVE YOUR TATOOO PAINLESSLY

A  Researcher   in   Canada   has  developed   a  skin   cream   that   allows   people  to   painlessly  remove   their   tattoos.
Alec  Falkenham,   a PhD  student  in  Dalhousie  University's  pathology  department , has  come    up  with  approach  that  make  use  of  natural  healing  process  our  skin  activates  after  it  is  tattooed.   
When    we   get    the tattoo  the   pigment   from  the   . ink   deposits    into   the    skin    where    it    is   consumed    by    white   blood  cells  named  "Macrophages".
"Macrophages   known    as    the   big    eater     of  the immune   system  .They   eat   foreign   materials, like     tattoo  pigment,to  protect   the  surrounding    tissues,"Said  Falkenham.In   the   case   of   tattoos  ,two  population  of   macrophages   react   to    the   Ink   in   different   ways.One   set  transports   some   of   the  pigment   to   the   draining  lymph  nodes  ,removing  it    from   the  area.
The     other   population    that   has    "eaten"the  pigment    goes   deeper   into    the   skin,become  inactive   and   forms   the  visible  tattoo.
Falkenham's  technology,Bisphosphonate   Liposomal    tattoo  removal  (BLTR)  targets  the
macrophages  that  contain  the   pigments.
"BLTR   is   a  cream   that   you   put   on   your   skin,"he  said, adding   that  it  uses  a  lipid-vesicle  or  leposome,that    his  team  created.The  technology   is  a  safer   alternative  to   lasers.
By   acting   as   a  "Trojan  horse"in   their  drug delivery,liposomes    target   cells that   can   consume  them,specifically   those  that   contain   pigment.This   limits  potential   side effects  to  surrounding  cells   too.
