Laser Tattoo Removal in Las Vegas, NV

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR LASER TATTOO REMOVAL

There's a number of considerations which could improve the success of your tattoo removal. Fitting candidates for laser tattoo removal:

• Have a strong immune system. This improves the body’s ability to break down and eliminate the ink properties.
• Are in overall good health. Smoking and eating an unhealthy diet limit the body's immune system from working at max efficiency.
• Have deep differences between the ink color and the skin color. The greater the contrast, the greater the result.
• Have older tattoos. The older a tattoo is, the better it will respond to treatment.

LASER TATTOO REMOVAL PROCEDURE TECHNIQUE

As soon as Dr. Z determines that your skin is ideal for tattoo removal treatment, the tattoo will be prepared with a deep cleansing and an application of a topical anesthetic. Dr. Z will begin by passing the applicator over the tattooed skin as it releases energy and pulsing laser light. The time it takes to complete the procedure varies and depends on the type and size of the treatment area. In certain situations, the tattoo may require multiple sessions before obvious results are seen. These factors will all be discussed at your consultation.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN LASER TATTOO REMOVAL

Following each session, a topical cream will be applied to the treatment area along with bandages to protect the area. You may notice redness, sensitivity, and swelling. You could also feel like you have a sunburn and experience minor scabbing. It's important to adhere to aftercare instructions carefully to speed up the recovery process. Once the skin is ready, you can schedule your next treatment session. Dr. Z recommends scheduling treatments more than 4 – 7 weeks apart.
