This blog discusses the factors influencing the tattoo removal procedure, which must be considered while scheduling tattoo removal appointments.

A) Color:

1.    Black ink: Black ink absorb every wavelength very effectively. However, the ideal laser is the 1064Nm wavelength Neodymium-Yag Q-Switched. The high density and stability of black ink make the removal procedure challenging and require extreme supervision and technique superiority while performing the removal session.

2.    Blue and green inks and tones mixed with these colors: These are the most difficult pigments to eliminate due to the color and composition variation, which are conditioned by titanium oxide or zinc content. The recommended laser to remove blue, green, and tones mixed with these colors are Rubi Q-Switched (in virtual disuse), the polymer lasers emit at 650Nm, and especially the Alejandrita Q-Switched.

3.    Yellow and red inks: Fast and smooth results are achieved with 532 Nm. Q-Switched unit laser is appropriate for yellow and red ink tattoos.

B) Type of Tattoos:

1.    Professional tattoo: Professional tattoo involves higher density, depth, and permanent pigments that raise the request for at least ten sessions of the removal procedure to give better results.

2.    Amateur tattoo: These tattoos are drawn with unstable inks, so the amount of pigment used is less and superficial. However, just five to six sessions are enough for complete elimination.

3.    Micropigmentation: Micropigmentation tattoos are easier to remove and require an average of three sessions for removal. The removal will be challenging and more difficult for deep tattoos.

4.    Traumatic tattoos: Traumatic tattoos are frequent after accidents or trauma due to the abrasion of the asphalt or gunpowder explosions. It requires one or two sessions for easy removal.

C) Body Location:

The body areas where the tattoo ink is injected decide the extent of the tattoo removal procedure in terms of the number of sessions. For example, the thinner skin areas such as the head, neck, neckline, and wrist require fewer sessions, whereas thick skin areas, including legs, arms, and back, require more sessions.

LASER Tattoo removal at Dr. Karishma Aesthetics- Kaesthetics:

a)    Application of anesthesia: Before starting the laser treatment, the skin is numbed with an injection of local anesthetic. An anesthetic cream can also be recommended instead of an injection, depending on the extent of the procedure.

b)   The laser will be applied to the tattoo: The cosmetologist will adjust the powerful pulse of laser energy to heat and shatter the tattoo ink. The laser energy acts by fractioning the pigment particles and chemically altering them, making them less noticeable. Moreover, multicolored tattoos require various lasers and different wavelengths to respond in the best possible way.

c)    Swelling, bruising, and small blisters are typical manifestations: Swelling, bruising, and small blisters are the prevalent post- effect of laser tattoo removal and should be managed by post-op care and recommended medications. The antibacterial ointment can help promote healing. You will likely need repeated sessions to lighten the effect of tattoos so that the skin can be regenerated, and the lymph system can gather the pigment fragmented in the previous session.
