Tattoos are a popular form of self-expression, but sometimes what felt right in the past no longer reflects who you are. Whether it’s an old design, a mistake, or simply a change of heart, the desire to remove a tattoo is more common than you might think. At Smile Plus Hospital, we offer advanced laser tattoo removal technology that can help you erase unwanted tattoos safely and effectively.
Traditional methods of tattoo removal, like creams or dermabrasion, can be painful and ineffective, often leaving scars behind. In contrast, laser tattoo removal is a more modern, non-invasive solution that uses concentrated light to break down the ink particles in your skin. Here’s why you should consider laser tattoo removal:
Laser tattoo removal works by using Q-switched lasers that deliver pulses of light to the skin. These pulses penetrate deep into the dermis, where the ink resides. The laser light breaks down the ink particles into smaller pieces, which are then naturally flushed out of the body by the immune system.
Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with our experienced dermatologists. We’ll assess your tattoo and recommend the best treatment plan based on its size, color, and depth.
Preparation: We’ll apply a topical numbing cream to the area to minimize discomfort during the procedure.
Laser Treatment: The laser handpiece will be used to emit targeted light onto the tattoo. The procedure usually takes only a few minutes, depending on the size of the tattoo.
Aftercare: Following the treatment, we’ll provide instructions on how to care for the area. Swelling and redness are common but should subside in a few days.
Laser tattoo removal is typically performed over a series of sessions. The number of sessions required will depend on factors such as tattoo size, ink color, and how deep the ink is in your skin. Most tattoos require 4 to 10 sessions spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart to achieve the best results.
Laser tattoo removal is suitable for most individuals who wish to remove unwanted tattoos. However, certain factors like skin tone and tattoo placement can influence the effectiveness of the treatment. Our experts will help determine if laser tattoo removal is right for you during the initial consultation.
