Get Rid of Tattoos with Laser Tattoo Removal at Strella Medical Aesthetics

Laser tattoo removal is a safe and effective procedure that uses advanced laser technology to target and break down tattoo pigments in the skin. During the treatment, the laser emits short pulses of intense light that selectively target the tattoo ink while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. The laser energy is absorbed by the tattoo ink, causing it to shatter into tiny particles that are gradually eliminated by the body’s natural processes. As the tattoo ink is gradually cleared from the skin, the tattoo fades over a series of treatment sessions.

Laser tattoo removal is a popular choice for those seeking to remove unwanted tattoos without resorting to invasive surgical procedures. It offers a reliable and non-invasive method to achieve clearer skin and regain confidence. Consider the laser tattoo removal experts at Strella Medical Aesthetics.

Getting Laser Tattoo Removal at Strella

At Strella Medical Aesthetics, patient expectations before, during, and after laser tattoo removal play a crucial role in ensuring a successful and satisfying experience. Here’s what patients can expect at each stage of the process:

Before the Procedure: Patients can expect a comprehensive consultation with a qualified laser specialist. During this meeting, the specialist will assess the tattoo’s size, color, and depth, as well as the patient’s skin type and overall health. It’s essential for patients to have realistic expectations regarding the removal process. Multiple sessions are often required, especially for larger or multi-colored tattoos, and complete removal may not always be achievable.

During the Procedure: Patients will be provided with protective eyewear to shield their eyes from the laser’s intense light. The specialist will apply a numbing cream to minimize discomfort during the treatment, ensuring a more comfortable experience. The laser emits targeted pulses of light to break down the tattoo ink into smaller fragments, which the body’s immune system gradually eliminates over time. While patients may experience a sensation similar to rubber band snaps or mild stinging during the procedure, the overall discomfort is usually tolerable.

After the Procedure: After each laser tattoo removal session, patients may experience temporary redness, swelling, or mild bruising in the treated area. The skin may feel sensitive for a few days, and it’s crucial to follow the specialist’s aftercare instructions diligently. Keeping the treated area clean, avoiding sun exposure, and moisturizing as directed will promote proper healing. Since tattoo fading occurs gradually with each session, patience is essential throughout the process. Multiple sessions, typically spaced several weeks apart, are required for optimal results. By following the recommended treatment plan and maintaining realistic expectations, patients can achieve successful tattoo removal and be satisfied with the progress towards their desired outcome.

After Getting Laser Tattoo Removal

After getting laser tattoo removal, it’s essential to follow these tips to promote proper healing and achieve the best results:

  • Keep the treated area clean: Gently clean the treated area with mild soap and water twice a day. Avoid scrubbing or using harsh chemicals that may irritate the skin.

  • Apply an ointment or moisturizer: Use a recommended ointment or moisturizer to keep the treated area hydrated. This will help soothe the skin and promote healing.

  • Avoid sun exposure: Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure for at least a few weeks after the procedure. Sunlight can cause skin sensitivity and potentially lead to hyperpigmentation.

  • Avoid picking or scratching: Resist the temptation to pick at scabs or peeling skin. Let the body’s natural healing process take its course to avoid scarring or infection.

  • Attend follow-up sessions: Stick to the recommended schedule for follow-up sessions as advised by the laser specialist. Consistency is crucial for achieving optimal results.

  • Be patient: Tattoo removal is a gradual process, and complete fading may take several sessions. Trust the expertise of the laser specialist and be patient throughout the journey.
