Things You Should Know Before Getting A Tattoo Removal

By Carl Cole


Tattoo is considered an art. Many are getting a tattoo to symbolize something, or just for fun. However, there are many cases in which they regret getting that particular tattoo for a reason. If you have one which you are not proud of, then you might have considered getting a tattoo removal MA for that. Here are things you should know before getting it removed.

Consider a doctor. You do not know what you are dealing with, that is for sure. Leaving it with the care of an aesthetician could end you up with a burned and scarred skin because the person used an outdated heat laser. When the procedure is done under the care of a doctor you can be sure that the treatments done to you are carefully selected to match you.

The process takes months to years. A tattoo will not disappear right away with just one laser treatment. You could end up having six sessions or more. The reason why it takes time is that when you laser the ink the particles are broken into pieces and then it gets digested by your immune system. The regeneration could take eight weeks maximum.

Infection, scarring, and bleeding can be treated successfully, but if it is only with the proper care of a certified dermatologist. Of course, it would be your job to check whether your practitioner is certified. Just because he or she is a dermatologist already means that he or she is qualified, you need to verify them first.

All the ink could be taken out. It was believed that the light colored ink is hard to remove. Before, that might be true considering the fact that the equipment used before was only attracted to dark colors. But with technology today, light colors like yellow and green, which are the most stubborn can now be removed.

The laser removes the tattoos by blasting the pigment molecules to tiny pieces, then those will be cleared by the response of the immune system. Healing process is not like a walk in the park. The laser will break the surface of the skin, which is why there is swelling, bleeding, and pain after the treatment.

Getting your tattoos remove is painful. This could be painless if the practitioner can provide you a numbing agent. The removal process is longer for larger tattoos, and a doctor could provide a lidocaine injection for that to numb the part with the tattoo. While a non medical professional may not provide. The laser setting reflects the tattoo color than the size, so no matter if it is small or big, it would still be painful.

Things you need. After the treatment you would need some bandages, healing moisturizer, antibiotic ointment, and the proper clothes. The area where the tattoo is located must not touch any clothing to avoid for it to hurt and itch, so make sure that the clothes do not hit that certain spot. Apply healing moisturizer and antibiotic ointment three times a day.

Lightening the ink is already enough. You can just lighten it up and not completely take the ink off. The good thing is, lightened areas are no longer visible. One of the things that is advantageous to this is that the cost you pay is lesser is the sessions will not be completed anymore.
