Tattoo regret is real. According to some recent surveys among tattooed individuals, nearly a quarter of respondents said that they regret at least one of their tattoos. If we’re honest with ourselves, we don’t always make the best decisions when we’re young, to say nothing of permanent decisions. But there is good news: tattoos aren’t as enduring as advertised. As painful reminders, awkwardly-placed designs, or just plain old bad blemishes, tattoos can be removed.
For getting rid of unwanted ink, there’s laser tattoo removal. At Azia Medical Spa, our laser tattoo removal procedure uses focused beams of light to shatter the inks beneath our skin, leaving clear, natural-looking skin in its place. Like any other mole, freckle, sunspot, or scar, tattoos are susceptible to light.
Tattoos can say a lot about us, but if you have a tattoo that no longer speaks for you, it may be time to consider laser removal. By targeting only the tattoo pigment and not the skin itself, laser removal can achieve remarkable results while leaving the skin unharmed. When compared to chemically-potent creams or acid treatments, laser hair removal demonstrates the best results with the least scarring, pain, or muddled tattoo remnants. Don’t trade your tattoo for a patch of burnt or scarred skin. Let Azia’s trained laser techs get you back to feeling the most at home in the skin you’re in.
*Cost is $250 per 15 minutes or per 4×4 square area
Anyone who regrets their tattoos is a candidate for laser tattoo removal. The procedure is capable of handling most ink pigments, though black ink responds best due to its particular method of application.
Beyond regretting a tattoo, best candidates should be in good health before, during, and after the laser tattoo removal procedure. What the laser leaves behind, your natural immune system removes. Candidates who are immunocompromised may not experience the best results.
Light interacts differently with different colors and pigments. The natural pigment of your skin is due to the amount of melanin your body produces.
The difference between your natural skin tone and the pigments of your tattoo allow the focused laser beam to target and break up the ink beneath your skin. Then, your body disposes of the remaining ink through natural processes. It’s as simple as that.
Yes. After the laser has done its work, what remains of the ink particulates are then safely absorbed and flushed out in the bloodstream. There is no risk of burning or other kinds of damage to the skin.
Patients can expect some discomfort during the laser hair removal process. However, most patients say the procedure hurts less than getting the tattoo in the first place.
At Azia Medical Spa, the tattoo removal procedure works on all skin types. Accommodations may need to be made depending on the size, color, placement, and age of the tattoo, but the procedure is ultimately suitable for everyone.
