Tattoo removal

Factors affecting laser tattoo removal

Factors affecting laser tattoo removal are:

  • its age (the older the better);
  • its depth (the amateur tattoo is easier to remove, because it is more superficial),
  • its color (monochrome blacks behave better in erasing).

Tattoo removal is usually done for cosmetic reasons.

Tattoo Removal Methods

There are several ways to remove a tattoo.

The most common are:

  • surgical removal (in one or more surgical times),
  • skin scraping (1 to 3 sessions),
  • Q switched laser that erases almost all tattoo colors.

Surgical removal requires surgery under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of the tattoo. It also leaves scars, most often large ones.

Dermabrasion creates a deep burn with slow healing (possibility of creating a deformed scar, pigmentation, etc.)

Q switched lasers are the best choice for tattoo removal (painless, without recovery and wound changes).

4 – 6 sessions are needed at intervals of 20 days – 1 month.

Side effects after the laser

Possible side effects include temporary skin discoloration (normal skin color returns quickly).

With Q switched, the tattoo fades 95 – 100%. That is, it is likely to leave a shadow that most of the time is not visible.

Conclusion

Laser tattoo removal is painless and leaves no marks or scars.

It is not time-consuming to apply, nor do they need wound changes for later.

It is safe and the best solution for tattoo removal.

Q switched lasers are specialized lasers with unique applications for erasing tattoos and removing skin spots or moles.

 

Reconstruction

The results of each session are added together with the results of the previous ones.

After the Laser Fractional treatment, sunscreen protection is recommended.

In order for the results to last, maintenance is needed with 1-2 sessions a year.

The newest Lasers that we use for regeneration are of Erbium Fractional technology, that is, they affect the surface of the skin in sections, leaving passages of intact skin that help in quick healing and recovery.

The creation of zones of high heat between the intact zones prompts the skin to produce collagen and elastin.

Thus the skin is regenerated, fine wrinkles disappear, scars and stretch marks improve.

The results become visible gradually over time (continuous improvement up to 3-6 months).

The immediate results are a slight swelling of the area that lasts 1-2 days and gives the impression of immediate improvement.

Then all the healing processes begin, resulting in the creation of new collagen.

3 – 4 sessions are needed with an interval of 1 month.

Permanent Hair Removal

The intervals between hair removal sessions vary depending on the area, but also on the appearance of hair growth.

It is recommended that the session take place during the time when the hair is growing, and not after.

The results of hair removal after the end of the sessions are permanent when there is no hormonal disturbance.

Laser hair removal is the safest method recommended for permanent hair removal.

Laser hair removal areas are all areas that show hair growth.

Laser hair removal is for women and men of all ages.

General Information on Laser Hair Removal

It usually takes 6 – 8 sessions per area for permanent hair removal, spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart.

Laser energy is absorbed selectively and only by the hair follicle, and not by the skin. Because it is attracted to the melanin of the hair (hair pigment or the dark color of the hair), it is preferable that the adjacent skin is not tanned. So all the energy of the Laser is absorbed exclusively by the hair follicle.

Laser hair removal is allowed during the summer months, provided that you avoid the sun shortly before hair removal and that you use sunscreen afterwards.
