LASER TATTOO REMOVAL
WHAT IS LASER TATTOO REMOVAL?
Whether it brings up painful memories, no longer represents who you are, or you simply don’t like how it looks anymore, there are numerous reasons why you may want to have a tattoo removed. Regardless of why, advancements in tattoo removal equipment have helped make it feasible to lighten and potentially eliminate the undesired tattoo in its entirety.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LASER TATTOO REMOVAL?
At Eluma Laser and Aesthetics, laser tattoo removal procedures can help patients who desire to eliminate unwanted, aged, or botched tattoos by providing multiple advantages from treatment, including:
- Fades embarrassing, unfashionable, or undesirable tattoos from your body
- Preserves untouched skin from injury or scars
- Effective, safe treatment
- Performed in quick, efficient sessions spaced apart
HOW DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL WORK?
Following your consultation and skin exam (scheduled prior to your first appointment) we’ll begin by cleaning the tattoo and surrounding skin before applying a topical anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable during your treatment. Once your skin is ready, one of our providers will go to work with the handpiece, treating the inked skin with different wavelengths of light to remove shades of color. By using specific wavelengths and high-intensity light, the Pico Laser can break down the particles of ink without damaging your skin, resulting in a gentler treatment with less chance of scarring.
The length of time needed to remove your tattoo will depend on its size, how dark it is, and other factors. Some tattoos may need multiple sessions to attain noticeable results. Most patients will need at least six treatments.
DOES LASER TATTOO REMOVAL HAVE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
The side effects of laser tattoo removal are usually mild and often include redness, inflammation, sensitivity, scabbing, itching, and warmth around the treatment area. Many patients would compare the feeling to a minor sunburn that goes away in time. When you visit for your initial appointment, our provider will go over your tattoo removal plan and what you can expect in the way of side effects.
