What You Might Not Know about Laser Tattoo Removal
- Tattoo removal is a process – A laser tattoo removal session kickstarts a biological reaction. The laser targets ink particles within your skin. Laser energy shatters ink droplets, breaking them up into manageable pieces. These smaller particles are then removed from the area by white blood cells intent on protecting your skin and eliminating foreign elements. But this takes time, with the ink droplets requiring repeat treatments to assist the healing process. Your first laser tattoo removal session is the first of several – we’ll let you know how many sessions you can expect at your consultation.*
- The number of expected treatments may change – There’s a great deal of planning we can do before beginning treatment, but unknown factors can always pop up and alter the course. Depending on the type of tattoo ink, the depth of the ink, ink color, tattoo placement, and more, you’ll require a certain number of laser sessions to remove your tattoo. If your tattoo doesn’t respond as well as expected, we’ll update you and let you know that additional sessions might be necessary for ideal results.*
- The treated tattoo will continually change – Your tattoo will change colors as it’s treated, and may initially look darker or more noticeable. Don’t worry – this will fade, and continued sessions will gradually improve the tattoo.*
- Tattoo removal will be worth it – Erasing unwanted or unsightly tattoos is so important that the LA Sheriff’s Department recently began offering free laser removal to inmates hoping to start a new life. When you can find freedom from a bad tattoo, you can become a new person.*
