Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal is the method preferred by those who have tattoos but want to remove these tattoos later. Tattoo is a tradition that has a history dating back to 3300 BC. The tattoo, which is seen in different societies and used as a talisman that protects against evil forces, an ornament used to raise social appreciation and a sign that indicates the layer in the society, is a value that continues to live from past to present.

The tattoo is applied by placing dyes of the desired colour into the layers under the epidermis.

How is laser tattoo removal done?

When the needle used during tattooing starts to penetrate under the skin, our skin goes into defence and the structures responsible for repairing our skin try to close these small holes in the skin as quickly as possible. This protection system of our body causes the applied dye to remain under the skin and the tattoo to be permanent.

Nowadays, due to the intensive use of tattoos for cosmetic purposes, it can be seen that tattoos are not wanted as much as they used to be by the applicant. The demand for tattoo removal accelerated the researches on this subject and paved the way for the development of Tattoo Removal Lasers among the techniques used.

We can say that the lasers used in Laser Tattoo Removal treatments are 532 nanometre Q switched Nd: yag lasers, 1064 nanometre Nd: yag lasers, Q switched 694 nanometre Ruby lasers.

The laser to be used in tattoo removal treatment is determined by the colours used in your tattoos and the lightness and darkness of your skin.

Factors Affecting Laser Tattoo Removal Process

Laser tattoo removal treatments vary depending on the depth of the tattoo, colour, lightness and darkness of the skin and how old the tattoo is and can be planned between 3 and 10 sessions. The treatment is performed at intervals of approximately 30 to 60 days. During the application, the laser and energy levels suitable for the tattoo are determined and the shots are performed. In the shots, the pigments of the dye under the skin are targeted and these pigments are aimed to be broken down under the skin with the transferred energy. With the breakdown, our skin can receive moderate damage. The reason why the treatment intervals are repeated approximately between 30 and 60 days is the time our skin needs to treat these damages. Our skin tries to remove the pigments from the body during the treatment process, the prominence of the tattoo may decrease after each session and may become indistinct at the end of the treatment. After the treatment, the area needs to be carefully protected so that we can help our skin while it heals itself. This protection will increase the effectiveness of our application results and will help to prevent complications that may occur after the application.

Is Laser Tattoo Removal a Painful Process?

There is a certain amount of pain during the treatment. The intensity of this pain is subjective as the pain threshold varies from person to person. Anaesthetic creams can be applied to the application area before the application in order to feel less pain, and pain can be minimised with cold air circulation during the application.

If only part of a tattoo is to be removed, this can also be done.

It would not be correct to say that all tattoos can be completely removed in the laser tattoo removal process, the treatment plan is spread over a longer period of time in tattoos consisting of different colours in mixed colours and a complete removal result may not be achieved. We need to state that the best result you can achieve can be told to you after the Specialist Doctor examination.

Your Specialist Doctor will tell you what you need to do before and after tattoo removal applications, fulfilling what needs to be done will help you to reduce and eliminate complications that may occur after the application.
