How Many Laser Tattoo Removal Sessions Will I Need?

Sometimes you get a tattoo that you end up regretting. Laser tattoo removal can help fade a tattoo or even erase it from the skin. But you may be wondering about how many laser tattoo removal sessions you will need for the best results. What is Laser Tattoo Removal?  We use the Q-switched Alexandrite laser for laser tattoo removal to target your tattoo’s ink pigments. The laser breaks apart the ink pigments without harming the skin. Because the laser does not directly harm the skin, it is uncommon for any scarring to occur.  How Many Laser Tattoo Removal Sessions Will I Need?  On average, the amount of laser tattoo removal sessions you will need is between six to eight sessions. The exact amount of sessions total will depend on how old your tattoo is, the size of the tattoo, and what color the ink pigment of the tattoo is.

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

Tattoo regret happens to many people. Whether your tattoo no longer expresses who you are, or you just do not like having a tattoo anymore, laser tattoo removal can fade or even erase the results of that fateful tattoo decision.  *Individual results may vary How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work? When removing a tattoo, we use a laser that does not harm the skin but passes through and makes contact with the ink pigments in your tattoo. These pigments absorb energy from the laser and break apart into smaller fragments that the body can easily remove. The laser targets the colors in ink pigment, not the skin, and can remove some tattoos in just a few sessions.  Most tattoo pigments have been designed so the body will not remove them. The laser breaks up the pigment particles because the pigments, especially darker ones, absorb this energy, which damages them and causes them to break apart. The body’s lymphatic system will filter out these smaller particles.  How Many Sessions Will [...]

Is Laser Tattoo Removal Permanent?

Laser tattoo removal works by focusing light energy on ink particles under the skin, breaking them up so that they’re small enough for the immune system to scavenge and eliminate.  Provided the laser treatment is successful, tattoo removal is permanent. The ink can never return.  *Individual results may vary About Laser Tattoo Removal Laser tattoo removal is a treatment that gets rid of unwanted tattoos using laser technology. The procedure is entirely non-invasive. A specialist at the Laser Skin Care Center directs a Q-switch laser at your skin, breaking down blobs of tattoo ink into smaller chunks. With sufficient exposure, the particles become small enough for white blood cells to transport to other areas of the body for disposal.  Interestingly, you won’t notice much difference in the appearance of your tattoo immediately following treatment. However, as immune cells clear errant ink particles over the coming days and weeks, the ink will start to fade. With sufficient treatments and the correct protocol, the tattoo should disappear entirely.  How long removal [...]
