Now here are some of the most important
things that you have to know about the laser tattoo removal procedure.
1. It is safe. Laser tattoo
removal can remove almost all colors of tattoo without side effects like
scarring. The laser treatment is a painless tattoo removal procedure.
2. Laser treatment has two
types which is the ‘passive’ laser and ‘active’ laser tattoo removal system.
The passive laser treatment is cheaper than the active one. You have to be very
careful on where you are going to get both.
3. The most prominent type of high-powered tattoo
laser system that is used today is Q-switched variety. It produces pulses of
laser light and causes minimal temporary scarring to the skin.
4. One potential side
effects of laser tattoo removal is uneven skin tone especially for people that
have dark skin tone. It is natural for the skin to become lighter than the
surrounding area. This is called hypopigmentation.
5. In certain cases, the
skin around the tattooed area can become discolored or infected. It will be
very helpful if you will avoid too much exposure to the sun and apply sunscreen
to protect your skin against its harmful rays.
6. The number of sessions
that you should take will depend on the kind of tattoo that you have on your
skin. If you have multiple and complex colors in your unwanted tattoo, the
process can be even longer. You can speak to a board certified dermatologist
about it.
