What Concerns Does Laser Tattoo Removal Address?

A High-Tech Solution for Unwanted Ink

Laser tattoo removal works by delivering ultra-short pulses of high-powered laser energy into the skin. This energy is absorbed by the tattoo ink particles, causing them to shatter into tiny fragments. Once shattered, the body’s natural immune system can then flush these microscopic particles away. Over a series of treatments, the tattoo becomes progressively lighter until it is no longer visible.

  • Professional and amateur tattoos
  • Black, blue, and dark-colored inks
  • Red, orange, and warmer-colored inks
  • Full tattoo removal
  • Fading a tattoo to prepare for a cover-up

The best part? Our advanced laser can remove tattoos more effectively and in fewer sessions than older laser technologies.

What to Expect During Your Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment

Personalized, Professional, and Effective

Your laser tattoo removal session at Advanced Aesthetics is a quick and straightforward process.

  1. Before Treatment

    The treatment area will be cleansed, and protective eyewear will be provided. A topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.

  2. During Treatment

    The provider will trace the tattoo with the laser handpiece. You will hear a snapping sound as the laser fires and feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin.

  3. After Treatment

    The treated area will be red, swollen, and may have a “frosty” white appearance, which is a normal reaction. An ointment and bandage will be applied.

  4. When Will I See Results?

    Fading is a gradual process. You will notice the tattoo getting lighter after each session. Multiple sessions are required for complete removal.

  5. Additional Benefits

    • Highly effective on a wide range of ink colors
    • Minimal risk of scarring with proper aftercare
    • Non-invasive procedure
    • Allows for a clean slate or a new cover-up tattoo
    • Quick treatment sessions (5-20 minutes)

Combining Tattoo Removal with Other Treatments

Maximize Your Results

Laser tattoo removal is a standalone treatment. Once your skin is clear, you can focus on other aesthetic goals for the area, such as skin rejuvenation or laser hair removal.

Pre-Care & Aftercare

Simple Steps for Best Results

Proper aftercare is crucial for preventing infection and ensuring the best possible result. Just follow these guidelines to optimize healing:

Do

  • Keep the treated area clean and dry for the first 24-48 hours.
  • Apply the recommended antibiotic ointment and keep the area bandaged for the first few days.
  • Apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and discomfort.

Avoid

  • Avoid sun exposure on the treated area throughout the entire removal process.
  • Do not pick, scratch, or pop any blisters that may form.
  • Avoid swimming, hot tubs, and saunas until the skin is fully healed.

Your Post-Treatment Journey

  • Week 1: The initial redness, swelling, and blistering will subside. The skin will begin to heal.
  • Weeks 2-6: The body’s immune system works to flush away the shattered ink particles. The tattoo will gradually fade.
  • Weeks 6-8: The skin is typically healed, and you are ready for your next treatment session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Tattoo Removal Questions, Answered

How many treatments will it take to remove my tattoo?

The number of treatments needed depends on many factors, including the tattoo’s age, size, color, location, and your skin type. Most professional tattoos require 8-12 sessions, while amateur tattoos may require fewer.

Does tattoo removal hurt?

The sensation is often compared to getting the tattoo itself. We use a skin cooling device and can provide topical numbing cream to make the process as comfortable as possible.

Will it leave a scar?

The risk of scarring is very low with modern lasers and proper aftercare. The most common cause of scarring is picking at scabs or blisters during the healing process.

Can all colors be removed?

Black and dark blue inks are the easiest to remove. Greens, reds, and oranges can also be removed effectively. Lighter colors like white and yellow are the most difficult to treat.

How long do I have to wait between treatments?

We recommend waiting 6-8 weeks between sessions. This gives your body enough time to flush away the shattered ink particles and for your skin to fully heal.

Can I just fade my tattoo for a cover-up?

Yes. Just a few laser sessions can significantly lighten an old tattoo, giving your tattoo artist a much better canvas to work with for a new cover-up design.
