- What is tattoo removal?
Tattoo removal is removing unwanted tattoos from the body parts. Tattoo removal can be achieved in a number of ways, ranging from laser treatments, chemical peels, dermabrasion, and surgical excision.
- How does laser tattoo removal work?
Lasers are the most common method of tattoo removal performed today. Tattoos consist of thousands of particles of tattoo ink suspended in the skin. The normal human immune system typically removes small foreign particles from the skin. Tattoo ink particles are too big to be removed by this system and are thus considered permanent. The use of lasers helps to break up these particles into smaller pieces that can be removed by the immune system.
Laser treatments work by targeting the ink particles in the skin with highly concentrated light waves that heat up the ink particles and cause them to fragment into smaller particles that are able to be cleared away by the body’s immune system.
- What is the best method of tattoo removal?
Laser tattoo removal is the only safe and effective method to remove a tattoo without damaging the outer layer of the skin. Laser light energy penetrates the skin to reach the tattoo pigments. Different wavelengths of light will target different tattoo colors.
- Can tattoos be 100% removed?
Yes, a tattoo can be removed completely. Each patient’s tattoo removal experience is different, as many variables can come into play during this process.
- Is laser tattoo removal completed in one treatment?
Complete removal of a tattoo is usually not accomplished in one laser treatment session. Laser tattoo removal typically requires more than one treatment to reduce the size of the ink particles and make it easier for them to be dispersed by the immune system.
- How did laser sessions require tattoo removal?
Depending on the tattoo design, size, and color, it may take several laser sessions to remove the ink. Some colors of ink are harder to remove than others and may not be able to be completely removed. There should be a six-week time period between each laser session to allow the wounds to heal and the body to absorb as much of the ink as possible.
- Is laser tattoo removal painful?
Most of the time laser tattoo removal is tolerated very well. Laser tattoo removal is somewhat painful. Many patients describe it as having a heavy rubber band snapped against the skin repeatedly. Topical skin-numbing medications can be used.
- Is tattoo removal safe?
Yes, tattoo removal is safe if you get your tattoo removed by a licensed or certified doctor who specializes in tattoo removal.
At ASPEN Clinic after thorough examination and analysis of tattoos, the treatment procedure is customized.
- What is the care post laser tattoo removal?
After the procedure, the patient will have an open wound that will need to be taken care of. Typical post-procedure care of the wound includes cleaning it with soap and water daily, applying antibiotic ointment to the wound, and then keeping it covered with some type of dressing until it is healed.
- How long does it take to heal post-laser tattoo removal?
The patient will have an open wound that will need to be taken care of.
Typically, healing is complete around five days after the procedure is done.
- What are the other options for tattoo removal?
Other methods of tattoo removal are more invasive than laser removal and are therefore less commonly performed today. These methods include dermabrasion, chemical peels, and surgical excision of the tattoo.
