Tattoo Removal
Laser tattoo removal is the only safe and effective method of removing pigment from the skin while keeping the surrounding skin safe. Tattoo removal is a process of eliminating or fading unwanted tattoos from the skin. With our Chrome Laser we use highly concentrated light energy to the skin in quick pulses. With each pulse, the tattoo ink particles trapped in the dermal layer of skin absorb the energy and instantly shatter. The fragment ink is then removed naturally by the body’s immune system over the next several weeks, making the tattoo fade in appearance. Tattoo removal treatments may require multiple sessions to achieve the desired results, as tattoos are designed to be permanent. Typically you will need 3-8 sessions to reach desired results.
Tattoo removal at Beauty Bar & Wellness involves customized treatment plans for every patient and every tattoo. Whether the tattoo needs to be fully removed or only faded, we can help!
Cosmetic tattoos can be treated as well!
What to Expect During Treatment
The procedure is quick and relatively comfortable. A numbing agent is applied topically to the treatment area before the procedure. The process takes about 15-45 minutes depending on the size, and results gradually improve as the body breaks down and processes the pigment over the following months. Multiple treatment sessions are required for optimal results.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Laser tattoo removal works best for darker pigmented ink. Our laser works well for most skin types. At your consultation your practitioner will assess the treatment area and determine if you would be a good candidate and about how many treatment sessions you may need. Your practitioner will also review your medical history at your appointment.
