Getting a tattoo can be an exciting experience, but sometimes things don't go as planned. Maybe the artist made a mistake, or the tattoo has faded or become discolored over time. Maybe you just don’t identify with the tattoo anymore. If you're unhappy with the look of your tattoo, you don't have to live with it forever. At Lexington Tattoo Removal, we offer precision laser treatments to help fix blown out or discolored tattoos. In this blog, we'll explain how the process works and highlight the best lasers for tattoo removal.
Laser tattoo removal works by using a concentrated beam of laser light to break up the ink particles in the skin. The laser energy is absorbed by the ink, causing it to break into tiny fragments that can be eliminated by the body's lymphatic system. Over time, the tattoo fades until it's no longer visible.
The process of laser tattoo removal can be tailored to each individual's needs, depending on the color and depth of the ink, as well as the size and location of the tattoo. At Lexington Tattoo Removal, we use the most advanced laser technology available to ensure safe and effective treatments.
When it comes to laser tattoo removal, not all lasers are created equal. Some lasers are better suited for certain types of ink or skin tones, while others may not be as effective. At Lexington Tattoo Removal, we use one of the best lasers for tattoo removal to ensure the best results for our clients: a Quanta Q-Plus C EVO laser.
Blown out tattoos occur when the ink spreads beyond the intended design, creating a blurry or smudged appearance. Discolored tattoos can occur when the ink fades or changes color over time. Both of these issues can be corrected with laser tattoo removal.
Laser tattoo removal can effectively remove blown out or discolored ink, leaving the skin looking smooth and even. The number of treatments required will depend on the size and location of the tattoo, as well as the depth and color of the ink.
If you're considering laser tattoo removal, it's important to know what to expect during the treatment process. At Lexington Tattoo Removal, we'll begin by assessing your tattoo to determine the best course of treatment. We'll then use a Zimmer Cryo Cooler to keep your skin at temperatures as low as negative 22 degrees Fahrenheit and minimize any discomfort during the treatment.
During the treatment, you'll feel a sensation as the laser energy penetrates the skin. Most people find the sensation to be tolerable, but we can adjust the settings to ensure your comfort. The length of the treatment will depend on the size and complexity of the tattoo, but most sessions last between 15 minutes and an hour.
After the treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, and blistering in the treatment area. Our Certified Laser Tattoo Removal Specialists will give you detailed instructions on how to care for your treated area.
