What is Tattoo Laser Removal?
You might consider tattoo removal if you regret a tattoo or you're unhappy with the appearance of your tattoo. Perhaps the tattoo has faded or blurred, or you decide that the tattoo doesn't fit your current image. Tattoo removal might also be important if you develop an allergic reaction to the tattoo or other complications, such as an infection.
How It Works
During dermabrasion, the tattooed area is typically chilled until numb. Then the tattooed skin is sanded down to deeper levels with a high-speed rotary device that has an abrasive wheel or brush. This allows the tattoo ink to leach out of the skin. The affected area feels sore and raw for several days after the procedure. Recovery can take up to two to three weeks.
Benefits & Results
Dermabrasion involves using a sanding device to remove layers of skin to allow ink to leach out. During a typical dermabrasion session, we will administer a local anesthetic to reduce any pain. We will use a high speed rotating abrasive device that sands off the top layers of the skin to let tattoo ink escape.
