Why get tattoo laser surgery?
Do you have a tattoo and want to have it lasered away? It may be that you have a tattoo and after some time you no longer like it. Or that you got it wrong and you are not happy with the end result. A failed tattoo can be very disturbing and may even make you feel insecure. Fortunately, you can get rid of an unwanted tattoo in an easy and safe way through laser treatment. In this article, we'll tell you more about laser tattoo removal.
How does laser tattooing work?
Having a tattoo lasered away can be done safely these days without leaving scars. During a laser treatment, the laser focuses fast and short pulses of light on your tattoo. These pulses of light are absorbed by the ink, which causes the ink to break down into small particles. This allows the ink to be more easily transported through your body as waste products.
Does laser treatment hurt?
It is often thought that getting a tattoo lasered is very painful. Fortunately, this is not so the case. At New Skin Laserclinic, we use the Zimmer Cool Device. This numbs the skin with ice cold air making the treatment 75% less painful. You can compare a laser treatment with small rubber bands that shoot against your skin.
How many treatments are needed?
Several treatments are required to completely laser away a tattoo. Often between 4-10 treatments are needed, and there are 8 to 12 weeks between treatments to recover. The number of treatments needed depend on several factors such as the depth of the tattoo, the color of the ink and your skin type. The treatment itself often only takes a short time, this of course depends on the size but can sometimes be a few minutes.
