Skip to content Laser Tattoo Removal is a reliable method for diminishing or eliminating unwanted tattoos, showing the best results on black and red ink colors. The treatment uses specialized lasers that emit short pulses of intense light, targeting the ink particles without harming the surrounding skin. These light pulses break down the ink into smaller fragments, which the body processes and removes naturally. Suitable for various tattoo sizes and ink densities, the treatment is adaptable, although more extensive or more complex tattoos may require more sessions.
Candidates include individuals looking to erase tattoos for personal or professional reasons. Since the complete removal process typically requires 8-10 sessions, patients should prepare for a commitment to multiple treatments, with sessions spaced approximately 6-8 weeks apart to allow for healing and ink absorption. The effectiveness of the treatment ensures that once the tattoo is removed, it does not reappear. Visiting Serenity Med Spa can provide additional guidance and a personalized treatment plan for those interested in exploring this service in Astoria, OR. Consider scheduling a consultation today to begin the journey to clear, ink-free skin.
(Varies depending on size)
Good candidates for Laser Tattoo Removal are individuals looking to remove unwanted tattoos with realistic expectations about the number of sessions required. It is suitable for various skin types and tattoo placements.
Initial lightening is often visible after the first few treatments; however, the full results of Laser Tattoo Removal become more apparent after multiple sessions, as the skin needs time to eliminate the broken-down ink particles.
Laser Tattoo Removal has a permanent effect. Once the tattoo ink is broken down and absorbed by the body, it is permanently removed from the skin.
Most clients experience minimal downtime. Redness, swelling, and tenderness are common side effects around the treated area, but these typically subside within a few days.
Before Laser Tattoo Removal, it’s important to avoid tanning and keep the tattoo area free of lotions or perfumes. Post-treatment, keep the area clean, avoid exposing it to sunlight, and follow all aftercare instructions provided by your specialist.
During Laser Tattoo Removal, clients may experience snapping sensations similar to rubber bands. Cooling or topical numbing agents are often used to enhance comfort. Each session lasts a few minutes to an hour, depending on the tattoo’s size and complexity.
