Laser Tattoo Removal in Frisco, TX

There may be many reasons why you no longer want your tattoo. It could represent a painful memory, or maybe it has lost color or just no longer represents who you are. Whatever the reason, advancements in tattoo removal technology have made it feasible to lighten and potentially eliminate the undesired tattoo completely. At AestheticFX Med Spa in Frisco, TX, dual-certified nurse practitioner Beverly Farris performs tattoo removal using a sophisticated laser system. The laser device is known to produce better results than previous tattoo removal systems and may necessitate fewer treatments.

Once we determine that your skin is ideal for tattoo removal, the treatment area will be prepared with a deep cleansing and an application of a topical anesthetic. We will begin by passing our handpiece over the tattooed skin as it emits laser light and pulsing energy. The treatment time varies and depends on the type and size of the tattoo. Sometimes, the tattoo may require a number of sessions before obvious results can be seen. This will all be discussed with you at your consultation. At the end of each treatment, an ointment will be applied to the skin along with bandages to keep the area protected. You might experience redness, sensitivity, and swelling. You might also feel a sunburned sensation and experience slight scabbing. It is important to adhere to aftercare instructions precisely to speed up the recovery process. After the area has healed, your next session may be scheduled. Beverly recommends scheduling treatments more than 4 – 7 weeks apart.

Why do I need multiple laser tattoo removal sessions?

Dimension, color, location, and the age of the tattoo impact the number of treatments necessary to effectively diminish the design. When you're here for your appointment, the treatment regimen will be reviewed, and any concerns regarding the number of estimated sessions may be discussed then.

When will I notice outcomes?

The results and appearance of the tattoo vary between patients. After every treatment session, you should see the tattoo lighten. Because of the various types of inks utilized in body art, the end results and the number of treatments can vary. Generally, several sessions will be required and are spaced 2 – 4 weeks between.

Are there any alternatives to laser tattoo removal?

Laser tattoo removal is the most trusted and simplest treatment to keep your skin intact and to efficiently lighten the visibility of tattoos. In certain cases, dermabrasion or microneedling may additionally be recommended as part of your treatment plan to help with the removal process and to help refresh the condition of your complexion.
