Most people who are thinking about removing an unwanted
tattoo have a number of questions about the process. They may have had a friend
who successfully removed a tattoo and they want to know how it would work in
their own unique case. Or, they may have thought about tattoo removal many
years ago and they want to learn what technology is being used now by tattoo
removal clinics to make it easier and less expensive.
Tattoo removal experts who have completed thousand of laser
treatments have heard almost every question you can imagine about tattoo
removal. Here is a list of the top ten most common questions about laser tattoo
removal:
10) Can my tattoo be removed? A large majority of tattoos
can be removed. Black ink tattoos are the most common that are removed in, and
they are also among the easiest to remove. A wide range of other colors can be
removed as well - red, orange, yellow, darker green, blue, brown, purple, and
colors in between. The most difficult colors to remove are light green and
blue/green or teal or turquoise. These colors can be faded, but it is difficult
to remove them completely. Call a clinic specializing in tattoo removal in
Dallas to learn more about what colors are easy or hard to remove.
9) Is the tattoo removal laser dangerous? The medical laser
used for tattoo removal should be used just for tattoo removal. Avoid clinics
where they use one laser for a wide variety of procedures - like many things,
specialists have the most experience and have the most appropriate equipment.
With proper safety equipment (goggles to protect the eyes), tattoo removal
lasers are very safe for use when used by a medical professional. The
manufacturers of these tools pass through a rigorous FDA approval process. The
radiation emitted by a tattoo removal laser is non-ionizing and carries no risk
of cancer or other abnormal cell growth
8) What kind of laser is used for tattoo removal? Dallas
tattoo removal clinics use Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers for effective and safe
removal of tattoos. A leading brand is the Cynosure Affinity QS laser, which
uses two wavelengths of light to break down the ink in a tattoo.
7) Will the tattoo removal procedure scar my skin? No, not
if used by an experienced professional. The laser doesn't create a scarring
response by the skin when used by a competent nurse practitioner, physician
assistant, or physician. Be wary of clinics that use laser technicians who
don't have advanced medical training.
6) How long between tattoo removal sessions? For most
patients, 4 weeks is sufficient time between sessions. For some patients with
very bright, colorful tattoos 6 weeks is needed. During your consultation with
a tattoo removal facility you'll find out what would work best in your unique
situation.
5) What possible side effects will I experience? For
patients with black or dark ink tattoos, some swelling and redness are the most
common side effects. These will normally subside within a week. For patients
with colored tattoos, some blistering may occur - this is part of the normal
healing process and the skin will heal nicely afterwards.
4) How does the laser break up the ink in my tattoo? The
laser uses two methods to break up the ink - the pigment absorbs the energy
from the laser and is shattered; the very fast (6 nanosecond) pulse and high
intensity of the laser will cause the pigment in the tattoo to break apart.
3) Is the laser treatment painful? Most patients compare the
discomfort as similar to getting a tattoo in the first place, but much quicker.
Your session may take 5-30 minutes and leading tattoo removal clinics use a
variety of methods to help patients limit the pain they experience.
2) How many tattoo removal sessions will I need? Most
patients will need between 3 and 10 sessions. The number depends on the age of
the tattoo, the coloration, and the amount of ink in the tattoo. Call a tattoo
removal specialist to find out what you are going to need to remove your
tattoo.
1) What does each session of tattoo removal cost? The price
varies with the size of the tattoo. Of course smaller tattoos will be less
expensive than removing an entire sleeve. The price is one of a number of considerations,
though. The quality of the medical staff will play an important role - a nurse
practitioner with years of experience and lots of concern in helping your
remove your tattoo will be able to remove it much more quickly than someone who
is looking to spend the least amount of time as possible.
For more information about these and other questions,
