If you decide that for whatever reason you do not want your tattoo any longer, and you are going through your options of tattoo removal, remember that the more popular and conventional method is with laser tattoo removal. Although, you can attempt fading your tattoo with at home tattoo removal creams, the better and more efficient option is to visit your dermatologist for laser tattoo removal treatments.
Although, the laser removal is more expensive and more painful than the creams, you will find that after your sessions have been completed your tattoo will be completely gone versus just faded.
The number of laser treatments will vary on several factors to include the size of the tattoo, the color, and the placement of the tattoo. Larger tattoos will take more treatments than smaller tattoos, and tattoos with more black ink, will take longer to remove than tattoos with lighter colors. It’s actually pretty common sense, if you think about it.
The actual treatments will be much more painful and much more expensive than the original tattoo, which is why you really should think your tattoo choices out very carefully. And remember that the more treatments that you have to have, the more you will end up paying; laser tattoo removal treatments can range anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars in the end.
Some people just experience slight discomfort, but many experience immense pain. The overall rapid pulse of laser beams penetrating your still will vary in feeling per person. Many doctores recommend that you take a Tylonal a few hours before your treatments, but never take blood thinners or pain medicines.
How Does It Work?
When the lasers penetrate the skin, it breaks up the ink particles of the tattoo. The ink particles are then carried away and disposed of as bodily waste. Depending on the color of the ink that is in the tattoo, the doctor will use lasers of different frequencies during the treatments.
If you want, you can have the laser tattoo removal treatments performed under a topical anesthetic, but typically that is all in the patient’s choice.
You will find that with modern technology, the number of treatments before the tattoo is fully removed has lessened since laser tattoo removal first came on the scene, but you will still need several treatments in order to fully remove the tattoo.
The actuall success of the laser treatmesn will depend on the size, placement, application, age, and color of the tattoo. Your health will also play a facter. Remember that newer tattoos are harder to remove than older tattoos, as tattoos do fade with age.
Complications of Laser Tattoo Removal
With any treatment, you need ton consider the possible side effects. With laser tattoo removal, the possible side effects can include hyperpigmentation (excesive coloring) or hypopigmintation (excessive fading).
You may also experience infection and permanent scarring.
For a few months, the area may even appear suburned, but eventually this will pass.
You will also notice blistering at the site after the treatments. Just remember to leave the blisters alone.
