Things You Should Know Before Getting A Tattoo Removal

By Carl Cole


When getting a tattoo, you need to carefully think of your decision, are you really ready for this and what design to get because removing them is not an easy task to make. For those of you who have one which they are not proud of, then welcome to the club. Here are what to know before deciding to have a tattoo removal MA.

Consider letting a doctor do it. You must carefully choose where and who should do the removal. With an inexperienced aesthetician, there is a chance that an outdated heat laser is used and that could lead to your skin burning and scarring. With a doctor, you are ensured that every process done to you are carefully thought of.

This could take you months or years. Tattoos do not just instantly disappear right after the laser treatment. Some could need six sessions of treatment or more. This takes time because whenever the tattoo is laser, the particles of it are broken and digested by the immune system of the body. Regeneration period could take up to eight weeks.

It is expensive. For procedure done by doctors, your bill for each time that you visit could run around up to hundreds of dollars. According to ASAPS, the average cost for removal per session is 463 dollars. It might be expensive, which makes you realize to just go with an aesthetician, but keep in mind how worthy this would be.

All the ink could be taken out. It was believed that the light colored ink is hard to remove. Before, that might be true considering the fact that the equipment used before was only attracted to dark colors. But with technology today, light colors like yellow and green, which are the most stubborn can now be removed.

Ready yourself for the needles. For every visit, mentally prepare yourself that it is more than just an easy and quick laser moment. The visit could take about 45 minutes due to taking before and after photos, cleaning, injection of lidocaine which is used for freezing, laser, ice, and bandage, you will taste metal every time the laser hits into your skin.

You will experience pain. It is normal that you would experience pain before and after the procedure. The pain may not stop after you leave the office. It is advisable that you budget seven days for discomfort. The blisters must be covered with some bandages. After that, depuff, scabbing, peeling, and regenerating would happen. The lesser the aftercare is with more treatments.

Things you need. After the treatment you would need some bandages, healing moisturizer, antibiotic ointment, and the proper clothes. The area where the tattoo is located must not touch any clothing to avoid for it to hurt and itch, so make sure that the clothes do not hit that certain spot. Apply healing moisturizer and antibiotic ointment three times a day.

Lighten the ink is enough. If you do not want to take it off completely, just lighten it enough. It might not be completely taken off but your ink are already invisible. It can only be seen when stared at for a very long time. A good trick for those with limited budget.
