What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
We all have regrets, but if yours are in the form of an unwanted tattoo, our RN nurse experts have got you covered with our laser tattoo removal services. Laser tattoo removal is a gradual process in which a technician uses a laser to remove pigment from the tattooed area. It is a gradual process that may take several sessions depending on the location, ink color, depth, etc. of the tattoo being removed.
Why get Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser Tattoo Removal is often chosen because it is quick, easy, and noninvasive thanks to our advanced laser technology. It targets only the ink while leaving the surrounded areas untouched. It leaves your skin looking natural after it heals, it is non-invasive, non-surgical and it works on all skin types. Compared to other versions of tattoo removal, like saline tattoo removal, it removes tattoos quicker and in fewer sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Tattoo Removal
The amount of sessions it will take to remove a tattoo with laser removal can vary depending on the color, type of ink used, depth of the tattoo etc. This will be discussed with you before your first treatment, and we will make an estimate of how long the process will take for you.
Laser tattoo removal can remove most tattoos safely and effectively, so almost anyone with a tattoo they want removed is a good candidate. In general, older tattoos that have darker pigments tend to be easier to remove than newer ones with brighter pigments. Patients who don’t smoke and have a healthy diet/exercise regimen tend to achieve the best results.
While it can be uncomfortable, laser tattoo removal generally doesn’t hurt as much as getting the tattoo, so it won’t be worse than what you’ve already sat through to get it! The best part? Removal sessions are fairly fast, and we offer ice packs to help minimize any discomfort.
No, it is very rare for patients to scar after having a tattoo laser-removed. Although, if the tattoo includes pre-existing scarring, that will remain after the tattoo is removed.
You may experience redness, swelling, blistering, minor bruising or pinpoint bleeding for a few days following treatment. Over the next week or so, you may note that it feels a bit tender to touch.
