3 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Laser Tattoo Removal

Posted on : October 2, 2015  By : Wellness

You’ve probably heard it all before; a tattoo should be something that you won’t get bored of as it’s going to be on your skin forever.

However, here at Apple Wellness Center, we know that people can change, and so can their tastes and opinions on their own tattoos. Whether you have simply grown out of wanting a certain tattoo on your body, or you have another reason for getting rid of your body art; laser tattoo removal is available to help.

As a leading provider of laser tattoo removal in Alberta, we’ve put together a list of 3 things you probably didn’t know about the procedure which may prompt you to take the plunge and opt in for the treatment.

Your Tattoo-Free Skin Will Be Untouched

One of the main reasons that people avoid opting in for laser tattoo removal is that they believe that the surrounding skin will be affected by the laser.

This isn’t true as it isn’t how laser tattoo removal works. During the procedure, the laser will target the coloured ink pigment which makes up your tattoo; breaking it up so that your body can remove the pigment particles using your immune system which recognises that the particles shouldn’t be in your body.

The lasers that are used are so precise that you don’t have to worry about your surrounding skin being affected.

Some Colours will be Easier to Remove

Due to the nature of how tattoo ink is made up, you will find that some colours in your tattoo will be removed much easier than others.

Colours such as reds, oranges and yellows appear to take longer, whereas blacks, browns, blues and greens seem to respond well to laser treatment.

We’re not saying that all dark tattoos will be able to be removed in one treatment, but you will notice more of a difference if you have darker tattoos.

Treatment Doesn’t Take All Day

It’s a common misconception that tattoo laser removal has to take hours to be successful. Although it’s likely that your tattoo won’t be completely removed in one treatment, you don’t have to sit for hours under the laser.

Usually, treatments are for shorter periods of time with follow up appointments to allow your body time to remove the pigment on its own after treatment.

Treatment time will depend on the size, colour, and position of your tattoo, so it’s best to discuss how long your treatment will take.
