HOW LASER TATTOO REMOVAL WORKS:

​

1. Consultation: The process begins with a consultation with our trained laser technician. During this consultation, the specialist will examine the tattoo, assess its size, colors, and location, and evaluate your skin type to determine the most appropriate laser treatment plan for you. They will also discuss the expected outcomes, potential risks, and any necessary precautions.
    

2. Preparation: On the day of the procedure, the area to be treated will be cleaned, and the specialist may apply a topical anesthetic cream to numb the skin and minimize discomfort during the treatment. They will also provide you with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light.
    

3. Laser treatment: The specialist will use a handheld laser device that emits high-intensity laser beams targeted at the tattooed area. The laser emits light energy in short pulses, which is selectively absorbed by the tattoo pigments. 
    

4. Tattoo pigment breakdown: When the laser light reaches the tattoo ink, it heats up and breaks the pigment into smaller fragments. The light energy is absorbed by the ink particles, causing them to shatter into tiny fragments while leaving the surrounding skin largely unaffected. The body's immune system then recognizes these smaller ink particles as foreign substances and gradually eliminates them over time.
    

5. Multiple sessions: Tattoo removal typically requires multiple treatment sessions to achieve the best results. The number of sessions needed depends on various factors, including the size, color, depth, and age of the tattoo, as well as individual factors such as skin type and the body's response to the treatment. Sessions are usually scheduled several weeks apart to allow the skin to heal between treatments.
    

6. Post-treatment care: After each session, the treated area may be sensitive, swollen, and slightly blistered. The specialist will provide instructions on how to care for the treated area, which may include applying antibiotic ointment, keeping the area clean, avoiding direct sunlight, and avoiding activities that may irritate the skin.
    

It's important to note that laser tattoo removal may cause some discomfort, and the sensation can vary depending on individual pain tolerance and the location of the tattoo. Some people compare it to the feeling of a rubber band being snapped against the skin. The use of numbing creams and cooling techniques can help minimize discomfort during the procedure.
 

Additionally, it's worth mentioning that complete tattoo removal may not always be possible, particularly for certain ink colors, such as light pastels or fluorescent dyes, which may be more challenging to remove. The effectiveness of laser tattoo removal also depends on factors like the quality of the tattoo ink and the depth at which it was injected into the skin.
 

Overall, laser tattoo removal is a widely used and effective method for gradually fading and removing unwanted tattoos. However, it's essential to consult with a qualified professional to assess your specific situation and determine the best approach for you.
