Tattoo Removal Process

what is permanent tattoo and how is it done?

A permanent tattoo is a design etched onto your skin by inserting colored ink particles into the dermis, the second layer of your skin. This ink stays there, though colors may fade slightly over time. Here's how it's typically done:

1. Design and Preparation: You'll choose your desired tattoo and work with a professional artist to finalize the design and size. The artist will then ensure your skin is clean and prepped for the procedure.

2. Tattoo Machine: The artist uses a handheld machine with needles that rapidly puncture the skin. With each puncture, tiny ink droplets are deposited into the dermis.

3. Ink Placement: Black and gray tattoos use single needles, while colored tattoos might use multiple needles grouped together. The artist strategically injects ink to create the design.

4. Healing and Aftercare: After the tattoo is complete, the artist will bandage the area. Proper aftercare is crucial for healing and preventing infection. This involves keeping the area clean, applying ointment, and avoiding scratching or picking.

Remember, tattoos are permanent. While laser removal exists, it's a separate process requiring multiple sessions and can be expensive. So, careful consideration and choosing a reputable artist are essential.

Tattoo removal procedure

Tattoo removal aims to break down tattoo ink particles so your body can eliminate them.

There are a few different approaches:

• Laser Tattoo Removal: This is the most common method. It uses high-powered lasers that emit short bursts of light. The light shatters the ink particles, which are then carried away by your immune system. Multiple sessions are typically required, and the effectiveness depends on various factors like tattoo size, colors, and your skin type.

• Surgical Excision: This is a more invasive option where the tattooed skin is cut out and stitched back together. It's usually only recommended for smaller tattoos and will leave a scar.

• Dermabrasion: This technique involves sanding down the top layers of skin to remove the ink. It's not as common nowadays due to a higher risk of scarring.

• Chemical Peels: Similar to dermabrasion, chemical peels use strong acids to remove the skin's outer layers containing the ink. Again, this method carries a greater chance of scarring.

How we perform Laser hair removal

Consultation: First, you will have to schedule a free consultation with us. We will assess your tattoo (size, color, age), your skin type, and medical history. This helps determine the suitability of laser removal and the recommended number of sessions.

The Laser Process: During the treatment, a technician will use a specialized laser device that emits high-intensity light pulses. The laser targets the ink particles in your dermis, breaking them down into smaller fragments. Your body's immune system then naturally eliminates these fragments over time.

Multiple Sessions: Laser tattoo removal is rarely a one-time fix. It typically requires multiple sessions spaced out over weeks or even months. The number of sessions depends on various factors like:

• Tattoo characteristics: Size, color (black and grey are generally easier to remove), and depth of ink placement.

• Your skin type: Lighter skin tones usually respond better to laser removal.

• Your body's immune system: How effectively your body eliminates the broken-down ink particles.

Comfort Measures: The laser pulses can cause discomfort, so we might use a topical anesthetic cream to numb the area beforehand. We also have cooling devices to minimize discomfort during the procedure.

Aftercare: Following the treatment, you'll receive instructions on caring for the treated area. This might involve keeping it clean, applying ointment, and protecting it from sun exposure.

It's important to remember:

• Laser tattoo removal isn't perfect. It may not entirely eliminate the tattoo, and sometimes scarring can occur.
