Do you have a tattoo that you’re ready to say goodbye too? Maybe it’s the name of an ex you prefer not to look at anymore, a saying that you no longer agree with, or a bad tattoo, in general, that’s prompted you to research tattoo removal options. Regardless of why, with new and improved technology, it’s easier to get a tattoo removed today than it has ever been.
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
If you could handle the discomfort of getting the tattoo in the first place, then you can handle the possible discomfort of getting it removed with laser hair removal—which is reported to be less uncomfortable. Most patients do not need anesthesia, though depending on the location of the tattoo and sensitivity of the area, a topical anesthesia cream might be applied. Plus, the PicoSure laser used at DermaTouch RN generally requires fewer treatments for tattoo removal than other lasers, meaning less pain overall!
How many Houston tattoo removal laser treatments will I need?
The number of laser treatments required to remove a tattoo depends on the amount of ink, color of pigment used, and size of the tattoo. DermaTouch RN uses the innovative PicoSure laser for Houston laser tattoo removal which removes tattoos with half of the number of treatments when compared to laser tattoo removal machines that came before it. Studies show that after only one or two treatments with the PicoSure laser, it is possible to remove almost 75% of the ink! Results vary between individuals.
Will tattoo removal leave a scar?
There is a small chance that laser tattoo removal will leave a scar. The possibility of scarring depends on the tattoo location, color and type of ink used, and your skin type. To minimize scarring, be sure to only allow practitioners to remove a tattoo with a laser created for tattoo removal. The Pico Sure laser used at DermaTouch RN is specifically designed for tattoo removal.
