Tattoos have always been a part of culture and art. They are viewed as an act of self-expression and sometimes even rebellion. However, a lot of people often regret getting a tattoo done because it creates a barrier to employment and social acceptance. It is estimated that over 50% of individuals regret getting a tattoo done and look for an effective procedure to have it removed. Since tattoos are meant to be permanent, they are applied deep under the skin and are very hard to remove.
Laser Tattoo Removal:
There are several methods like dermabrasion, chemical removal and excision, however, these methods are considered painful and can lead to a certain level of scarring. Here is where laser tattoo removal stands out as an effective and safe procedure to get rid of tattoos. Q-switched lasers provide a safe and highly effective method for removing a range of tattoo inks with little or no side effects. This FDA approved laser is the latest in a string of lasers designed to eradicate unwanted tattoos.
How Does Q-Switched Laser Work?
The Q-Switched laser device delivers light at very high energy. The energy pulses get absorbed by the tattoo, consequently breaking it into tiny pigment particles that are small enough for removal through the body's natural immune system. Once the ink is broken down, the body's immune system flushes it out of the body, over a couple of weeks. Although very effective, laser tattoo removal does not happen overnight and requires more than one session.
What Does The Procedure Involve?
This treatment is performed at the doctor's clinic and involves the following:
· At first, the patient's eyes are covered using protective eye shields.
· The skin's reaction to the laser is then tested in order to determine the energy, which is most effective for treatment.
· The laser device is placed on the surface of the skin and laser light is activated. The energy pulses start to work on the tattoo ink and break it down in to tiny particles.
· Lastly, an ice pack is applied on the treated area to help soothe the skin. This is followed by application of antibiotic cream or ointment and the treatment site is protected using a bandage.
What Type of Tattoos Can Be Removed?
Q-Switch laser tattoo removal can successfully remove all types of tattoos, including professional, amateur and even traumatic tattoos, which are those that result from accidents. The laser is specifically suited to remove darker inks like blue and black, which are otherwise difficult to eliminate. It is also used to remove green, red and orange tattoos.
How Long Does the Procedure Take?
This depends on the size the tattoo and the type of ink used. A small, single color tattoo can be removed in as little as 15 minutes while a large one can take around an hour.
Benefits of Q-Switched Tattoo Removal:
· A safe treatment that provides outstanding results
· Gets rid of most inks, including dark colors like black and blue.
· Only targets the tattoo without damaging surrounding tissues and skin.
· Significantly reduces the possibility of scarring.
I have gone through a laser tattoo removal (in Montreal and California) and I would absolutely NOT recommend anyone to do it...
ReplyDeleteIt has messed me up FOR LIFE both physically and financially!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE HEED MY WARNING!!!!
If you go through the usual laser removal methods. Which I do not recommend, not only that it will leave marks on your skin, so in reality, the tattoo will still be kind of visible if you know where to look. It is a very long process. And to be honest, very costly.
I had a hook up from a friend, and I have only paid 4000$ for 12 sessions. Which is a whole lot of money, but if I had to pay the full price, I would spend at least 6500$.
This also depends on where do you live, but in general, it is costly. And it took ages to finish, they have recommended me at max one session per month. So I have ended up getting rid of this tattoo for more than a year and a half, and to be honest, the tattoo was quite small. It was significant as a can of coke. If I had a more massive tattoo, it would take a longer time and more session, which means more $$$$.
Laserless tattoo removal is where it's at.
Unfortunately, at the time of my tattoo removal, I did not know this, I know about this only thanks to my brother, which bought this program last year.
This has a few pros and few cons. It works, and he was able to do it himself. Well, you have to do it yourself or ask someone to do it for you.
It is a long process, but I believe he has spent just a couple bucks on this ebook. It is definitely way cheaper than any tattoo removal cream I have bought.
And how long it will take to remove the tattoo with this method varies from person to person, their age and their skin. My brother got rid of his tattoo with in four months, I believe, and his tattoo was at least twice as big mine was.
I am not sure, if he were supposed to do something to treat it every day, I would have to call him about it, but hey it works and out of all of these options it is the cheapest one and yes you might spend more time on this than on laser removal, but your tattoo will be gone sooner than if you would go with the laser removal option.
To be honest, I do not know that many things about this, but I just did a quick google search and here is a great review of it: https://laserlesstattooremovalkit.com/dorian-daviss-laserless-tattoo-removal-guide-review/
To my knowledge, this is the only 100% natural option out here in 2019 to get rid of your tattoos.
I really hope this helps someone out there.
Good luck!
