The Laser Tattoo Removal Healing Process

May 5, 2016 By Premium Tattoo Removal 2 Comments

Everything takes time, to heal. The laser tattoo removal healing process is worth bearing if you have a tattoo that no longer suits you, or that fits your interests and lifestyle. While most people who get tattooed feel the design is the perfect addition to their body at the time, that’s not always the case down the road. Luckily what used to be permanent may successfully be removed when you commit to repeat laser removal treatments.

About Laser Tattoo Removal

Because laser removal is performed as an outpatient treatment, successful removal can take anywhere between three to twenty laser treatments. The amount of sessions needed depends largely on the size, location, coloring of your tattoo, and the laser used. The more sizable and elaborate the tattoo design, the more likely you’ll be returning for treatments to ensure best results.

Laser removal doesn’t “erase” your tattoo. Instead, it shoots little blasts into your tattoo ink which breaks the pigment up, lending to the redistribution of ink through your blood stream before it is eliminated through pores and body waste. This is why the process can take many attempts. It truly is dependent upon the size and quality of the tattoo, to begin with (the better the tattoo, the harder to remove), plus several other factors.

Since you can expect a waiting period of at least four to eight weeks in between visits to allow your body time to heal, let’s take a look at what happens during the healing process.

What to expect during the healing process after your laser tattoo removal treatment

Depending on the laser technology used for tattoo removal, healing and recovery times will significantly vary. Our Fotona QX-MAX Q-switched Nd:YAG nanosecond Laser, IS “the highest performance, and best-made laser system in the world. Read here why the QX-Max Laser is the most advanced laser system!

During laser treatment, your skin will turn a frosty white color called frosting . This is caused by the carbon dioxide being released as a result of laser penetration and surfaces on the upper layer of the skin, which resembles a white frosting. A few hours after treatment your skin may begin to peel and blister which usually takes 3 – 14 days to disappear. These side effects are completely normal and expected as your body is quickly trying to heal itself, shedding the damaged outermost layer of skin. Some people may experience very light bleeding as well.

Frosting

After several days have passed, all physical effects have usually subsided. Now you’ll just play the waiting game as your body properly disposes of the ink pigments, which usually takes 5-8 weeks. Only after such time, laser treatment can be performed again.

What About Scars?

Scarring is a common concern with the laser tattoo removal process. Luckily scarring instances are very minimal and happen in less than two percent of laser removal cases. Usually, when scarring happens it is light, and can be minimized with Vitamin E oil and over the counter silicone scar patches, so long as your skin is fully healed from the laser treatment. When in doubt, always seek professional advice before attempting to treat scar tissue at home.

To lower your chances of scarring and help your skin repair its self after removal, remember to drink plenty of water, get adequate sleep, and quit smoking. All three of these tips will naturally help boost your body’s immune system and assist in the process of pigment elimination and skin repair. Refer to our tattoo removal aftercare page for more advice.

No Smoking Sign

Once your tattoo is treated successfully, you can consider tattooing a new design or revel in what is now your clean canvas. Should you opt for body art in the future, be sure you plan it out, find a professional and reputable tattoo artist, tread carefully with your design, and REMEMBER the cost of laser tattoo removal.

    […] With laser tattoo removal, the risk of infection is extremely low. Everybody is different, and your skin may react differently to laser tattoo removal than a friend. Your skin may blister or crack, and if this happens, the risk of infection increases and any infection must be dealt with quickly with the aid of your GP. Remember though that following laser tattoo treatment the skin will immediately whiten and swell. This is perfectly normal and a sign that your body has already started the healing process. […]
