Removal of Tattoos Using Laser Devices
Unwanted tattoos on the face or body can happen, no matter how sure we are when we get them. Whatever your reason for removing it, the team at Cassie Lane Aesthetics in Richmond, Virginia, can help by performing laser tattoo removal, including microbladed eyebrows!
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Laser tattoo removal is a specialized medical procedure that uses a laser to remove tattoos. The laser sends short, concentrated light pulses at the tattoo, breaking the ink into tiny pieces. These little pieces are then absorbed by the body and eliminated. Our device is also less likely to result in unwanted pigment or scarring!
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
The number of treatments needed for successful tattoo removal depends on several factors, such as the size, location, and color of the tattoo. Most tattoos will require four to six treatments for complete removal. However, some colors may require more treatments than others. For example, black ink is typically the easiest to remove, while green and yellow ink can be more difficult.
What Can I Expect from My Laser Tattoo Removal Services?
When you arrive for your appointment, the area to be treated will be cleansed with an antiseptic solution. During the treatment, we will utilize a cooling device over the site, to help minimize discomfort. We then pass the laser beam over the skin multiple times, delivering short light pulses. Each pulse will last only a fraction of a second, but you may feel a snapping or stinging sensation.
After treatment, the area will be cleansed again, and an ice pack may be applied to help reduce swelling. Most people return to normal activities immediately after treatment. However, it is crucial to avoid sun exposure, wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher outdoors, and avoid rubbing the area.
How Long Will It Take to See the Results of Laser Tattoo Removal?
You may start to see results after just one treatment, but it typically takes several sessions for complete tattoo removal. Results will also depend on the size, location, and color of the tattoo.
