Laser Tattoo Removal FAQs FaceBook Twitter Youtube
Will the tattoo completely disappear?
Yes. Greater than 95% fading of the tattoo may be accomplished. However, it is important to know that there are many types of tattoo inks in use worldwide today, none of which are regulated by the FDA. Not knowing which tattoo ink was used, or how deeply it was applied, makes it impossible of us to predict the degree of removal on any given tattoo.
What type of post-treatment care is necessary?
Occasionally, there will be pinpoint bleeding associated with the treatment. The treated area should be kept clean. A shower can be taken the next day, although the treatment area should never be scrubbed. If a scab forms it is vital that you do not pick it or scratch it.
How many treatments will it take to remove a tattoo?
On average, professional tattoos require 4-8 treatments, while amateur tattoos require 2-4 treatments, all spaced approximately 6-8 weeks apart. The number of treatments depends on the amount and type of ink used as well as the depth of the ink in the skin.
Do all colors of ink disappear as well?
Dark (blue, black) and red inks will resolve the best. Oranges and purples usually fade as well. Green and yellow inks are the most difficult to remove, and additional treatments are needed to produce significant fading.
Is the process painful?
The laser emits light in very short pulses. The impact of the energy from the powerful pulse of light is similar to the snap of a small rubber band on the skin. The majority of patients do not require anesthesia.
How far apart are the treatments?
This is a slow process. A minimum of 6 weeks is necessary between each treatment. Your body needs times to break down the tattoo ink pigments after each laser treatment.
Does tattoo removal leave scars?
The type of laser used at Skintology is Med-Light C6 leaves virtually no scars, however, those with scarring disorders may have an increased risk of forming a scar.
What will happen after the treatment?
After the treatment, you may feel a slight sunburn sensation for a few days and have some redness for a few weeks. It is necessary to use anti-bacterial ointment and bandaging the treated area. Avoid the sun, as your skin will be extra sensitive to sun damage.
What is the cost of laser tattoo removal?
Laser tattoo removal costs typically range between $350 and $850. If the out-of-pocket cost is too much for you, please do ask for payment plan options.
