Before / after 1 session / after 3 sessions / cover up
LASER TATTOO REMOVAL IS A RELATIVELY QUICK PROCEDURE.
THE MACHINE IS CAPABLE OF RUNNING AT 10
PULSES PER SECOND, SO SOMETHING PALM SIZED TAKES AROUND 3-5 MINUTES.
DURING THE PROCEDURE IT IS PAINFUL AND THE
FEELING IS LIKENED TO A RUBBER BAND FLICKING THE SKIN.
NUMBING CREAMS AND ICE PACKS MAKE THE
TREATMENT A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE.
AFTER THE PROCEDURE THE AREA WILL APPEAR
WHITE, THIS WILL FADE AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND THE AREA WILL LOOK MUCH THE SAME.
THE SKIN WILL APPEAR RAISED AND BLISTERS
ARE NOT UNCOMMON FOR DAYS FOLLOWING.
OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS THE TATTOO WILL
START TO FADE AND THE TATTOO PIGMENT WILL DISPERSE INTO YOUR BLOOD BY THE
BODIES NATURAL FILTERING SYSTEM.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT IF YOU HAVE ANY LIVER
CONDITION/S TO LET THE CLINICIAN KNOW BEFORE THE TREATMENT TAKES PLACE.
A LIGHT SPREAD OF SAVLON CREAM SHOULD BE
APPLIED SPARINGLY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
TREATMENTS ARE TO BE SPREAD A MINIMUM OF 6
WEEKS APART AND THE AREA SHOULD NOT BE TATTOOED OVER AGAIN FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS.
BLACK AND GREY TATTOOS ARE USUALLY THE
EASIEST TO REMOVE AND WILL NEED ONLY 3 OR SO TREATMENTS TO LIGHTEN FOR A COVER
UP. COLOUR TATTOOS HOWEVER ARE A LITTLE MORE DIFFICULT AS THEY DO NOT RESPOND
TO LASER TREATMENT AS WELL, THOUGH IT IS STILL VERY POSSIBLE TO LIGHTEN THEM UP
ENOUGH FOR A NICE COVER UP.
