What is tattoo removal?
Do you have a tattoo that you have regretted? Have no fear, there are now many ways in which you can have tattoos removed, or covered up. The most common way of removing tattoos completely is by laser tattoo removal procedures.
How is laser tattoo removal done?
Laser tattoo removal works by using a laser to break up the pigments of colour within the tattoo with a high-intensity laser beam. It is always important to have a consultation with a trained professional, who will be able to recommend how many sessions are needed, and who can also recommend the best treatment for your personal situation.
A high-intensity laser beam will pulse light on to the unwanted tattoo, as stated above this breaks up the pigments of the tattoo and in time removes it completely. Most patients describe the feeling of the laser as if little elastic bands were being pinged against the skin.
After the laser removal session an ice pack will be applied to the area of skin where the laser had been pulsing. This cools off the skin, an antibiotic lotion is then applied and finally the area is dressed in a bandage to allow it to heal.
It can take as little as two sessions for a small tattoo to be removed completely, but larger tattoos can take considerably longer. It is always best to speak with the professional doing the treatment go gauge how many sessions will be needed for your particular situation.
