Embarking on the journey of laser tattoo removal is a significant step towards change and self-improvement. At our clinic, we ensure that every client is well-informed and comfortable with the process. Here’s what you can expect during your laser tattoo removal session with us.

Before the Session

Preparation is key. We advise our clients to:

  • Hydrate well.
  • Have a good night’s sleep.
  • Eat a healthy meal.
  • Clean the area to be treated.
  • Wear comfortable clothing.

During the Session

Consultation and Comfort

Your session will begin with a final consultation to address any last-minute questions. Our goal is to make sure you’re completely at ease before we proceed.

Safety First

You’ll be provided with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser. The targeted area will be cleaned and prepped for treatment.

The Laser Treatment

Our trained technicians will use state-of-the-art lasers to break down the ink particles in your tattoo. You may feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, but rest assured, we aim to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

Cooling Techniques

To minimize discomfort, we employ cooling methods throughout the session. An ice pack or a Zimmer machine that emits cold air might be used to numb the area before and during the laser application.

After the Session

Immediate Care

Right after the treatment, it’s normal to see some redness, swelling, and even ‘frosting’—a temporary whitening of the skin due to the rapid release of carbon dioxide from the shattered ink particles. This is a positive sign that the treatment is effective.

Healing Process

The healing process is crucial. You’ll be given detailed aftercare instructions, which may include applying ice packs, keeping the area elevated, and using antiseptic ointment to aid recovery.

Follow-Up

We schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and plan any further sessions if needed. The number of sessions varies depending on the tattoo’s size, color, and age.

Conclusion

At our clinic, we’re committed to providing a safe, professional, and transparent laser tattoo removal experience. Knowing what to expect can help alleviate any apprehension, allowing you to focus on the exciting changes ahead.
