Laser Tattoo Removal at S3 Dental
Tattoos that were once in style may have become blemishes you're embarrassed to show in public today. That's why removing them can make a huge difference in how you feel about yourself.
If you've grown tired of a tattoo, consider ridding yourself of it with cosmetic laser treatment - once and for all.
How does laser tattoo removal treatment work?
Selective absorption of very high peak powerlaser light pulses by tattoo ink in the skin causes the targeted ink particles to breakdown mechanically while significantly decreasing potential damage to surrounding tissues.
The fragmented particles are then removed from the skin by the body's immune or lymphatic system.
Are there any side effects to laser tattoo removal treatment?
Overall, treatments are gentle and mild, causing only slight discomfort with minimal side effects.
How many treatments are required?
The number of required treatments is dependent on several factors, including depth of ink penetration, age of the tattoo and colour intensity, that is, lighter versus darker colours. However, most people need five to six treatments and begin seeing results after only one or two sessions.
Is any recovery time needed between treatment sessions?
Although treatment sessions are scheduled approximately four to six weeks apart, no rest or recuperation time is required after each visit. You will immediately be able to resume normal activities without restriction.
What types of tattoos can be removed?
While certain pigments and inks are harder to erase than others, the majority of colours can be removed, including black, blue, green, brown and even red.
