Your Guide to Laser Tattoo Removal
Ready for a Fresh Start? Your Guide to Laser Tattoo Removal
Tattoos are a form of art, but what happens when the art no longer matches the artist? Whether it's a change of heart, a life event, or a simple desire for a fresh start, laser tattoo removal is the most effective and safe way to clear your skin. At UR Royalty Medspa, located at the corner of Fry Rd and FM 529 in Houston, Texas, we help clients say goodbye to unwanted ink and hello to a clean slate.
Here's what you need to know about the process.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
It's a common question, and the science is pretty cool. We use a specialized laser that sends concentrated pulses of light into your skin. This light energy is absorbed by the tattoo ink, causing the pigment to shatter into tiny fragments. Your body's immune system then naturally flushes these tiny particles away.
Because the laser is so precise, it targets the ink without damaging the surrounding skin.
What to Expect: The Process and Pain
-
Consultation: Your journey begins with a professional consultation. Our experts will evaluate your tattoo's size, age, color, and location to create a personalized treatment plan.
-
The Sensation: Many people describe the feeling of laser tattoo removal as a series of quick snaps, similar to a rubber band flicking against the skin. While it may not be pain-free, most clients find the discomfort to be manageable, especially since each session is so short.
-
Number of Sessions: Tattoo removal is a gradual process. The number of sessions required varies depending on several factors, including the ink's color (black and dark inks fade fastest), its density, and its location on the body. On average, most tattoos require between 5 to 10 sessions to achieve significant fading or complete removal.
-
Downtime: There is very little downtime. You may experience some redness, swelling, or a feeling similar to a mild sunburn immediately after your session. These side effects typically subside within a day or two.
Preparing for Your Session & Aftercare
Proper care is essential for the best results and a smooth healing process.
Before your session, you should:
-
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning on the tattooed area.
-
Keep the area clean and free of lotions or makeup.
-
Hydrate well and get a good night's sleep.
After your session, you should:
-
Keep the treated area clean and dry.
-
Avoid direct sun exposure and wear a high-SPF sunscreen.
-
Do not pick at any scabs or blisters.
-
Avoid soaking the area in baths, pools, or hot tubs while it is healing.
