Tattoo or body art is a very common fascination among the youngsters and elders, both alike. Tattoos are always capable of creating the first impression, helping the tattooed stand out in a crowd. Even though tattooing has its benefits, it comes with certain risk elements. This opens the roads to tattoo removal thoughts. Within the methods offered in this regard, laser tattoo removal is considered to be the most successful one.

The first and foremost benefit of a tattoo is its ability to boost self-confidence. An expressive, meaningful tattoo represents a unique aspect of the person’s character. In many industries such as fashion, an expressive tattoo might open infinite opportunities towards bagging your dream career.

Are you allergic to tattoo inks? You will never know until you get inked! This also has risen to be one of the major concerns that make individuals rethink regarding getting inked. In addition to this, the disease transmission risks from the tattoo needle keep the process of tattooing in the grey zone. Also getting the wrong design as well as the expectations not being met can push one to think about removing the body art.

Furthermore, most of the tattoos have an emotional background that might change over time. In such cases, one of the major questions that you might have to deal with is the tattoo you have on your body and the realization that it is incapable of shapeshifting!

What is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Usually, people consider removing their current tattoo to get a new one. Tattoo removal is performed by experts using various methods like dermabrasion, cryosurgery, TCA (Trichloroacetic acid), and excision. But the most effective method among all these options is the laser tattoo removal method, in which laser waves are used to break down the ink particles. Tattoos mainly consist of thousands of tattoo pigments suspended in the skin. This makes the natural growth and healing mechanism of the body incapable of removing it as it cannot break down the tattoo pigments. The laser beams make this job easier for the body by taking over the particle breakdown process into smaller ones, which helps the body to run its course of natural healing and growth.

Laser Tattoo Removal Steps

1. Application of the anesthetic cream/numbing cream on the treatment area for 45 minutes.
2. Target laser on the tattoo
3. The laser heats up and shatters the ink that it reaches first within the skin.
4. The minimum gap between sittings is generally 4- 12 weeks, with longer gaps aiding in the natural removal process of the body. On average 5-10 sittings may be required for very good reduction. Amateur tattoos require around 2-3 sittings and professional inks require more !!

Advantages of Laser Tattoo Removal

1. Simple and trouble-free
2. Improves the appearance of the tattooed area
3. Improves employability
4. The individual can get another tattoo in the same area.

Disadvantages of Laser Tattoo Removal

1. Complete removal can sometimes be difficult depending upon the skin type, texture, skin sensitivity, complexion and so on.
2. If not taken good care after the procedure, it may cause infection.
3. Sometimes we need a series of appointments for the complete removal.

Is Laser Tattoo Removal Painful?

Though the idea of pain is subjective, the anesthetic cream or numbing cream ensures the procedure is less painful to not painful at all. If the tattooed area is on any sensitive part of the body, then the removal can be slightly painful. In most cases, when it comes to tattoo removal, the laser removal procedure is identified as one of the least painful procedures. This is the same reason why it is popular over the other treatment methods.
