What options do you have for tattoo removal?
Tattoos are virtually permanent. Even tattoos applied with a ballpoint pen can last a long, long time. Permanent makeup is a tattoo, something to keep in mind if you are considering dermablading. What about erasing tattoos?
Erase your Tattoos
The ink particles in tattoos are too big for normal human growth and healing processes to remove naturally. When you want to erase a tattoo, you might have tried dermabrasion, acid, or scrubbing the skin with salt, all less-than-perfect methods.
Our Ellman Multi-Platform Laser is one of the latest technologies in tattoo removal and is a safe and painless treatment for tattoo removal.
“Erasing Tattoos”
The success of your tattoo removal depends on your body’s immune response. The destruction of tattoo pigments depends on the color of the light penetrating deep into the skin to reach the pigment, mimicking the natural fading that time or sun exposure would create. The tattoo pigment must absorb the laser light more than the surrounding skin. This often requires different laser light colors.
Laser treatment works
Immediately after laser treatment, white discoloration may be observed. Minimal edema and redness of adjacent normal skin should resolve within 24 hours. A crust appears over the entire tattoo that sloughs off at about two weeks, taking some of the pigment with it. Simple wound care with no ointment is best.
Fading of the tattoo will be seen over the next eight weeks. The next treatment can be tailored depending on each subsequent response to treatment to erase tattoos. Some pigments change color through the course of treatment and will be treated according to the new color.
Considering a Tattoo or Permanent Makeup
Tattoos on the ankles, wrists, and hands generally take the longest to remove. Your immune system is also a key factor in success. A compromised immune system also will affect tattoo removal, which depends greatly on the immune response.
