I was wondering what everyone else thought about dermasal? I have done some research and found that Dermasal'sparent company, Selmedica Healthcare, has a VERY bad reputation with the Better Business Bureau. You can look at the complaints yourself:

Dermasal is also a salt abrasion rub. Does this work??? Is that not the same thing as a skin peel? I know that doctors use the same thing to treat acne, but how many layers of skin to you have to go down to remove a tattoo? My tattoo was done very poorly in the first place, and still is flares up once in a while. I think this dermasal will just cause a lot more irritation. What do you think?

Thanks.

Dermasal is basicalloy a rip off. I sed it for a while and never saw any change and after that they would not give me my money back

Bishop are you the sales manager or just the copy writer for Dermasal and selmedica.com? To think you almost had me. When I went to your web site to buy (I really want to get rid of my Celtic) I happened to go find my way to selmedica.com

And what a range of hokey products you sell (How do you live with yourselves):

1 Breast Enlargement pill - yeah ah -hah

2 Penis Enlargement pill-yeah ah -hah

3 Penis Stiffener pill- yeah ah -hah

4 All natural Get Pregnant Now pill - yeah ah -hah

5 The best a pill for vaginal odor - I am still laughing

After finding this out I went back to the Dermasal site and looked hard. It was then I figured out you were selling SALT AND WATER. You want us to believe rubbing salt on a Tattoo will make it go away. Researching salt abrasion I found out it is recommended for Acne. What do acne and tattoo removal have in common?

But what really got me and made me take the time to write this is when I found your posting on the internet. Writing ads and posting them like they are from customers.

HOW STUPID DO YOU THINK WE ARE? YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!

Sacha, all i can tell you is that tattoo-off worked for me. At first my boyfriend used dermasal, but it really just made his skin inflamed, there were no results. Since my skin is sensitive, and i don't have the money for laser i tried tattoo -ff. it has been about 4 months now and all my friends can see a difference.

Most of these companies promise results but do not offer a money back guarantee.  Does this stuff really works?

Thanks for this site. I was about to purchase dermasal and was excited that I wouldn't have to go through laser surgery. But Thanks for sharing your experiences and opening my eyes to a con. I guess I will schedule laser surgery- good thing my tattoo is mostly black ink...

Yea, thanks for the heads up on Dermasal. I have a tat on my shoulder and want to have it removed but can't afford laser surgery at the moment. How does Tat Off work and is it pretty expensive?
