If you’re stuck with an unpleasant tattoo, you won’t be disappointed if you pick laser tattoo removal the first time. An educated choice is the best choice. As a result, we have put together this laser tattoo removal guide so that you will be fully informed. We’ll discuss the following topics:
- How laser tattoo removal works.
- Whether laser therapy hurts.
- What to expect after laser tattoo removal sessions.
- How long a laser removal procedure takes.
WORKINGS OF LASER TATTOO REMOVAL
The dermal layer of the skin, where the ink particles are located, is deeply penetrated by light energy used in the laser tattoo removal technique.
Because topical medications can’t penetrate the skin’s surface to the tattoo particles, laser therapy is more effective than using an ointment or lotion to remove tattoos. Because the tattoo ink particles are too big for the body’s immune system to clear away, a tattoo cannot be removed. These particles are reduced in size with each laser treatment session until they can be removed from the body by white blood cells. When the tattoo pigment particles have been sufficiently broken up by the laser light that every one of them is expelled, the undesirable tattoo has been completely removed. At the Tattoo Removal Institute, our laser tattoo removal technology comprises the only device in the world that supports various wavelengths, combining the Q-switched lasers into one. The epidermal layer of the skin receives brief bursts of light radiation from the Q-switched laser. These heat the pigment particles in the tattoo, causing them to quickly expand and break apart into tiny pieces. During the laser tattoo removal procedure, three groups of tattoo ink colours will be treated with various Q-switched laser wavelengths. One billionth of a metre, or nanometers, are used to measure them. • 532 nanometers red, orange, pink, yellow, and white ink Dark blue, purple, and black ink has a wavelength of 1064 nanometers, while bright blue and green have a wavelength of 694 nanometers.
IS LASER TREATMENT PAINFUL?
It’s a frequent misperception that the laser tattoo removal procedure burns the tattoo off the skin because it includes heat. On the other hand, laser therapy has absolutely nothing to do with burnt skin. Some have compared the sensation of having a tattoo removed to breaking a rubber band on your skin, scratching a sunburn, smearing bacon grease, and having a cat lick your flesh with its scaly, raspy tongue. Various factors affect how painful the laser therapy will be. For instance, tattoos near the bone, like those on the shin, will hurt more to remove than tattoos on areas of the body with more flesh. The amount of pain you can tolerate will also greatly impact how painful it feels to you. You should be able to handle having the tattoo erased if you could handle having it done in the first place. The Koolio Optimal Air Cooling System is employed at the Tattoo Removal Institute to lessen the possibility of thermal harm resulting in oedema. This device can produce air as cold as -40°C and blows it onto the skin’s surface while the laser operates.
WHEN I HAVE A LASER TATTOO RELEASED, WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
The frosting is a side effect of laser removal that you’ll experience during and after. The ink particles release bubbles of carbon dioxide that appear white and frosted when they climb to the top layer of skin (like cake frosting.) This demonstrates that healing has started. Your laser technician will apply a bandage and laser assistance gel to the treated region. They will then go over your role in patient aftercare with you. You should use a cold compress and, if you can, elevate the region for the first three days.
Additionally, you should frequently apply antibacterial cream to the region and maintain it clean and fresh. Blisters may develop during tattoo removal; this is normal. Blisters are a normal part of the healing process, so resist the urge to pop them yourself and take care not to accidentally do so. Avoid scratching the blisters; they will dry out and form a scab independently. You can apply vitamin E oil to the skin around the affected area to reduce itching. Additionally, you should be careful not to pick the scab as this can lead to the formation of scar tissue; avoid direct sunlight exposure on the laser-treated area; avoid direct contact with high-pressure water; limit your physical activity or any activity that causes you to sweat; avoid applying makeup or shaving the treated area.
HOW LONG DOES THE WHOLE PROCEDURE FOR TATTOO REMOVAL TAKE?
Everyone’s tattoo and level of skin sensitivity are distinct, so everyone’s laser tattoo removal treatment method appears different. Typically, it takes ten laser treatments to completely remove a tattoo, with each session requiring a six- to the twelve-week recovery period. You might need extra tattoo removal procedures if one or more of the following apply to you to get rid of undesirable tattoos. These variables impede the procedure and could increase the number of Q switched laser therapy sessions you require: Large, multicoloured tattoos, cover-up tattoos, tattoos on the extremities, freshly inked tattoos, darker skin tones with dark blue and green inks, a weakened immune system, smoking, and having a lot of tattoos. Remember that your body must be fully recovered before getting your next laser hair removal treatment. In order to guarantee prompt healing, it’s crucial to maintain your aftercare practice.
