Is Laser Tattoo Removal Right for Me?

By Christie Carlson


That adorable Tasmanian Devil tattoo may have been the perfect act of teenage rebellion, but your affection for that crazy animal most likely faded faster than the ink with which he was drawn. Or, maybe your wedding tattoo outlasted your marriage. Not to worry: there is a cure for such "permanent" skin decorations: Laser Tattoo Removal at a Medical Spa.

Around ten percent of Americans have reported to have ink of some sort. Of that ten percent, about half of that population wishes they didn't have tattoos. With the use of laser technology, high-intensity light beams can zap away those unwanted pigments and restore your pristine birthday suit.

Each tattoo is unique as the person wearing it; therefore, laser removal therapy must be tailored to suit each individual case. Black and blue ink is most easily removed, but other colors can be erased with proper treatment.

Usually laser tattoo removal is not the first tattoo removal method that individuals have tried. Laser tattoo removal can still be successful if you've tried other methods, provided the scarring from previous attempts is not significant.

Clients can expect a minimum of two laser tattoo removal sessions, but most need more for complete removal. During the session, technicians place a hand piece on the tattoo and activate the laser.

Once the treatment begins, he sci-fi-like lasers break up the ink. The sensation of the laser tattoo removal treatment has been described as feeling like the snap of a grease splatter on your skin. If you are sensitive to pain, discuss anesthesia options with the technician prior to your treatment. Keep in mind that after you have your tattoo removal session, you will need to keep the site clean and covered for several days.

Your mother warned that you would tire of them, but those dragons seemed so cool on the wall of the tattoo parlor. If you now wish your permanent adornment was a little less than permanent, contact a medical spa today to schedule a laser tattoo removal consultation. (We promise not to tell your mom that she was right!)
