What's laser tattoo removal?
Is the ink easy to remove? Removing tattoos is a procedure done to try to remove an unwanted tattoo. Common tattoo removal methods include:
- Laser removal
- Surgical removal
- Dermabrasion
The ink to the tattoo is located below the top layer of the skin. It makes removing tattoos more complicated — and expensive — more than the original tattoo.
Tattoo removal works, but some tattoos are much harder to remove than others. Old tattoos tattooed through a “stick-a-bamboo” (tattoo method performed by using a ink-dipped needle in ink to place one point at a time) are harder to remove than newer, for example.
Some colors are easier to remove than others. These include:
- Black
- Brown
- Dark blue
- Green
Larger, more colorful tattoos take up more time and expensive to remove than smaller, lighter, and less colorful tattoos.
Due to the risk of side effects, tattoos may be harder to remove if you have:
- Darker skin
- Bad skin condition, like eczema
- A state of health that affects the skin, such as herpes
However, it doesn’t mean you can’t remove your tattoo if all this applies to you. It just means that it might take a little longer to find the best removal option for you, don’t try to remove the tattoo yourself and other home treatments are not expected to be effective and can cause skin irritation or other reactions. Therefore, consult your “TEKUYE CLINIC” before removing and select the best options for you.
What are the reasons for removing tattoos
You can consider removing a tattoo if you regret a tattoo or if you’re unhappy with the look of your tattoo. Maybe the tattoo is blurry or faded over time, or you decide the tattoo doesn’t match your current appearance.
Tattoo removal can be important even if you develop an allergic reaction to a tattoo or other complications, such as infection.
If you’re considering removing tattoos, consult a dermatologist. You can get an explanation of the options for removing tattoos and help you choose the method that will most likely be effective for your tattoo.
For example, some tattoo colors respond more to laser treatment than others. Also, small tattoos may be good candidates for surgical removal, while others are simply too large for simple removal.
What’s important to know
Most experts consider laser removal the most successful and economical way to remove tattoos. Lasers often don’t completely remove a tattoo. Instead, they make it significantly clear or daze it so it’s much less noticeable.
Today, most tattoos are laser-removed with Q-switch, which sends energy in one strong pulse. This pulse of energy warms the ink in your skin to the level that the Hellfire melts it. You’ll need to get some laser treatments for a few weeks or more to get your tattoo removed. Older or less complex tattoos will require fewer sessions, while newer or more complex tattoos will require more.
In general, it takes about 7 to 10 sessions to remove a tattoo with laser treatment. So it’s important to get to counseling as soon as possible to get the best care.
After each meeting, follow all the treatment instructions that are normally given to you, this will include the smell of antibacterial cream on your skin for a few days. The ointment will help heal your skin and reduce the risk of infection. Change the wound dressing every time you apply the ointment.
At least in the next two weeks for treatment:
-
Keep the area clean and dry.
-
Avoid wearing tight clothes.
-
Avoid exposing the area to direct sunlight.
-
Don’t touch any wounds or blisters that form.
Removal of laser tattoos usually carries a lower risk of scarring than other removal options, only make sure not to mess with the area while it recuperates, because it can increase the risk of scarring.
