What is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Whether a tattoo no longer holds meaning, has faded, or simply doesn’t reflect your current self, laser tattoo removal offers an effective solution. Advances in laser technology have made the process safer, more efficient, and often require fewer sessions than before.
At AestheticFX Med Spa in Frisco, TX, dual-certified nurse practitioner Beverly Farris uses a cutting-edge laser system to safely and effectively lighten or fully remove unwanted tattoos.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Once your skin is evaluated for suitability, the treatment area is thoroughly cleaned and numbed with a topical anesthetic. Beverly then delivers precise laser pulses that break down the tattoo ink particles beneath the skin’s surface.
The length of each session depends on the tattoo’s size and colors. Multiple treatments are generally required for the best results, with a personalized plan explained during your consultation.
After treatment, the area is covered with ointment and bandages. You may experience redness, swelling, tenderness, a sunburn-like feeling, or mild scabbing. Following aftercare instructions carefully is key for fast healing. Sessions are usually spaced 4 to 7 weeks apart.
Laser Tattoo Removal FAQ
Why are multiple sessions necessary?
The number of treatments depends on factors such as tattoo size, color, placement, and age. Your treatment plan will be tailored and discussed during your visit.
When will I notice results?
Tattoo fading typically becomes visible after each session. Since inks react differently to laser treatment, the total number of sessions varies, usually spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart.
Are there alternatives to laser tattoo removal?
Laser removal remains the safest and most effective method to preserve skin health while fading tattoos. In some cases, complementary treatments like dermabrasion or microneedling might be recommended to enhance removal and improve skin texture.
