What are the five steps in achieving complete laser tattoo removal?
When unwanted tattoos remain on the skin, many clients believe they cannot have them removed, and they are permanent reminders of past mistakes. Fortunately, with continued advances in the field of aesthetics, laser tattoo removal services have become a reliable way of fading away an unwanted tattoo. Using the Candela Picoway laser, our experts at Laser Center of Orlando can almost always help clients in reaching their goals of complete tattoo removal. Below, our team discusses the five steps required for the Candela Picoway laser tattoo removal treatment.
What are the five steps needed to achieve full laser tattoo removal?
- Step 1: Consultation and skin assessment. The very first step in laser tattoo removal is to schedule a consultation with one of our reputable laser specialists at Laser Center of Orlando. During this appointment, we will assess your skin type and the tattoo’s color and location on your body. We will also discusses the process with you and answers any questions or concerns you may have.
- Step 2: Preparing for treatment. Properly preparing the skin before each laser session is essential to ensure the best results and minimize potential risks. This includes avoiding sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for at least six weeks before treatment and keeping the area clean and moisturized.
- Step 3: The actual laser treatment. During the laser tattoo removal session, an intense beam of light with a photo-acoustic effect (sound waves) is directed at the tattooed area, breaking up the ink pigments into smaller particles that are then naturally absorbed by the body’s immune system. This process can be uncomfortable, but most clients describe it as a sensation similar to being snapped with a rubber band. We offer a SubZ chiller air cooler if the client desires ultra cold air blown on the area at the time of treatment. This makes for a nice distraction and more comfortable session.
- Step 4: Aftercare and healing. Following each session, the treated area may be mildly pink and swollen, and in some rare instances blistered for a few days. It is critical that you follow post-treatment instructions carefully, including keeping the area clean and dry and avoiding any specific activities that could cause friction or irritation.
- Step 5: Repeat treatments as needed. Laser tattoo removal is a gradual process, and multiple sessions are typically required to achieve full removal. The number of treatment sessions will depend on several factors, including the specific size, color, and location of the unwanted tattoo, as well as your skin type and overall health.
