FAQ's
What is the removal process?
Tattoo removal is different for each person. There are various factors that go into the removal process such as:
- Depth level of the tattoo.
- Size of the tattoo.
- Skin type
Will laser tattoo removal completely remove my tattoo?
Tattoo removal varies significantly among individuals, with outcomes ranging from complete removal to partial fading. While some procedures, particularly laser treatments, can effectively eliminate tattoos, others may leave traces due to factors such as ink color and depth of pigment. Darker colors like blue and black tend to respond more favorably to laser removal, as they absorb light more efficiently, whereas certain hues may resist removal due to their chemical composition or because the pigment is situated too deeply within the skin for the laser to effectively target.
How do I take care of my skin after tattoo removal?
Your aesthetician will give you instructions for taking care of the area after treatment. However, in general, immediately after treatment, apply an ice pack to the treated area to reduce swelling and discomfort. It may be necessary to use a topical antibiotic cream or ointment to prevent infection, and a bandage should be used to protect the site. You can shower the following day, but avoid scrubbing the affected area to prevent irritation. When going outdoors, cover the treated area with sunscreen to shield it from UV exposure. Refrain from picking at the skin post-treatment, as this can increase the risk of scarring.
Is it safe?
Yes! Thanks to technology, the treatment of tattoos with laser systems has become much more effective, with a lower risk of scarring.
