What to Expect
1. Preparation:
-
A consultation with a dermatologist or laser specialist will help determine the best approach for your tattoo. They will assess the tattoo, your skin type, and any other factors to create a personalized treatment plan.
2. During the Procedure:
-
The area will be cleaned, and a cooling gel or numbing cream may be applied to reduce discomfort. You may feel a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin.
3. Aftercare:
-
The treated area may be red, swollen, and sensitive for a few days. It's essential to follow aftercare instructions, which may include keeping the area clean, avoiding sun exposure, and applying ointments or moisturizers.
4. Results:
-
It’s normal for the tattoo to look lighter or for some parts to fade after each session. Complete removal can take several sessions, and some colors, especially lighter ones like yellow and green, are more challenging to remove.
5. Side Effects:
-
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, blistering, and changes in skin pigmentation. Rarely, scarring or skin changes might occur.
