Say goodbye to unwanted tattoos at Restore YOUth Med Spa! Here, we understand that some designs aren’t worth keeping, so we provide unmatched laser tattoo removal services.
Laser tattoo removal is a safe, effective, noninvasive procedure. It works by breaking down ink particles underneath the skin, so you can get rid of your least favorite tattoos in a few sessions
During your initial consultation, a professional will assess your tattoo, skin type, and overall health to create a personalized treatment plan, explaining the process, expected sessions, and possible outcomes. You can ask any questions about the procedure, risks, and aftercare.
Each session involves cleaning the tattooed area, possibly numbing it with a topical anesthetic, and then using a laser device to deliver short pulses of light energy to break down the ink particles. You might feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin. Sessions typically last between 15 to 30 minutes.
After the session, expect redness, swelling, or blistering, which usually subside within a few days. Healing involves scabbing and peeling, with complete removal often requiring 6-10 sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart.
To reduce complications, avoid sun exposure on the tattooed area for at least four weeks before your first session. Stay hydrated and refrain from using skin-irritating products, such as retinoids or glycolic acid, for a few days prior. Inform your practitioner about any medications or supplements you’re taking. Avoid shaving or waxing the tattooed area before the session.
On the day of your appointment, ensure the area is clean and free of lotions or makeup, wear loose clothing, and have a light meal with water. Post-session, keep the area clean with mild soap and water, apply an antibiotic ointment or healing cream as recommended, protect the area from sun exposure, and avoid picking at scabs or blisters to prevent infection and scarring. Continuing to drink plenty of water will aid the body's natural healing process.
