There are lots of reasons you might view a tattoo as a mistake...now it doesn't have to be a forever mistake!
TATTOO REMOVAL
Tattoos have been around since before recorded history and have gone from the simplest of marks to identify tribe unity in ancient times to modern day grandness that can cover the body from head to toe in the most elaborate designs. Up until recent advances a tattoo was permanent short of some crude removal methods that would leave scars that were far worse than the tattoo. It is estimated that more than 10 million Americans have at least one tattoo and over 5 million of those later regret getting the tattoo and wish to have it removed. The days of old when a permanent tattoo meant permanent have given way to a more forgiving view of tattoos. It is with the fabulous advances in laser technology that tattoo removal is possible with minimal discomfort and low risk of scaring.
Lasers work by directing energy toward ink in the skin with highly concentrated colored light beams. These laser beams break up ink particles into tiny fragments which are later cleared up by the body’s scavenging cells. This process of fragmenting the ink particles requires numerous sessions depending on the depth of the ink level. The procedure is bloodless and no incisions are made. The laser selectively targets the pigment of the tattoo without damaging the surrounding skin. With deeper penetration of the skin and multiple sessions however, the heat generated by the lasers may cause pain and blister formation. Even though laser technology is refined, the chance of scarring is always present with multiple treatments. Laser treatment usually does not take more than a few minutes, yet this time frame varies greatly depending on the tattoo. However, multiple sessions are required to remove most tattoos. The multiple sessions are usually split over 4-8 week periods, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo. |
