Tattoo Removal Specialist in Honolulu, HI

The tattoo removal process, and how completely tattoos can be removed, varies from person to person. It is fairly common for tattoo removal not to completely remove tattoos. It is possible to completely remove a tattoo from your body with some tattoo removal procedures. Some tattoo dye colors resist removal, and some pigment is too deep for lasers to reach, for instance, when tattoo removal isn’t 100% successful.

You may be able to remove certain colors more easily than others. Through the use of high-intensity light beams, lasers remove tattoos by breaking up the pigment colors. The easiest color to treat is black tattoo pigment, which absorbs all laser wavelengths. Based on the pigment color, other colors can only be treated with certain lasers.

Before your treatment, it is important to eat a full meal and drink plenty of fluids. It is possible for some clients to become dizzy or lightheaded without eating. Smoking habits should also be reduced or completely eliminated. In fact, smoking slows down the healing process and can lead to complications.

You should always speak to your practitioner before receiving treatment so they can help you get the most out of your appointment and do what’s right for you. While you may think taking an aspirin or ibuprofen after treatment will ease the pain, they can cause bruising afterward.

Ensure your skin is completely fresh before your treatment by showering or bathing. The treatment may be affected by lotions, perfumes, creams, and anything else you apply to your body. Make sure you do not get excessive sun exposure. It is possible that tanned skin can prevent the treatment from being successful.

The length of time it takes to completely remove a tattoo varies from person to person, but most patients require between six and twelve sessions. Considering the time between appointments, you should be able to see your final results within one or two years. It is important to note, however, that some people are able to achieve results after just four sessions, while others will need as many as fifteen.

Despite the lack of immediate results, with each session, you will see improvements that accumulate over time. You can permanently get rid of your tattoo by sticking with this treatment.

Tattoos require more than one session to remove because they are applied in layers by your tattoo artist. Your body takes some time to flush out the ink between sessions since lasers break down the pigment into smaller particles. Time is also necessary for your skin to heal. You may experience swelling and blistering if you receive laser treatments, as well as a temporary change in your skin’s color. It is possible to develop superficial scars or to have your skin permanently discolored.
