Laser Tattoo Removal Before and After

There is a growing demand today for laser tattoo removal. People want to get rid of their out-dated tattoos that they received over the last decade. Due to new technological advances laser tattoo removal is a very effective and safe way to get rid of your unwanted tattoos.

Before receiving treatments for laser tattoo removal it is important to schedule a consultation to evaluate your unwanted tattoo and to determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment. At the consultation you and the practice will evaluate your tattoo and estimate how many treatments will be necessary in the tattoo removal. Also, before treatment pictures should be taken of the unwanted tattoo so this laser tattoo removal process can be documented effectively.

Before the tattoo removal treatment the patient has the option of receiving a topical anesthetic, or a cold compress to numb the area of the unwanted tattoo. Then during the laser tattoo removal treatment the patient is given protective eye wear to protect their eyes from the light of the laser. The laser used emits quick intense pulses to break up the tattoo pigment that has suspended under the skin. The body can then remove the tattoo pigment through natural body processes which ultimately lightens the tattoo.

After the laser tattoo removal treatment the patient is given post-treatment instructions. A cold compress is given to reduce swelling of the area of the treated tattoo. Patients need to make sure their unwanted tattoos are kept clean over the next couple of days to prevent any infection from occurring. Patients can also expect redness and blisters of the removed tattoo area.

After the laser tattoo removal treatment the patient should schedule an evaluation so after treatment pictures can be taken and the practitioners can determine the course of action for future treatments.

The steps to take before and after laser tattoo removal are not difficult and if followed correctly can be very beneficial in removing your unwanted tattoo. South Coast MedSpa recommends these before and after steps for our patients. Scheduling for a consultation is the best way to determine the right steps for you and your laser tattoo removal process.
