FREE CONSULTATION

While business is booming in the world of tattoo artists, there’s nothing new about the practice. While ample evidence exists to trace the ancient art form back as far back as the Upper Paleolithic period in Europe, the oldest discovery of tattooed human skin is found on the body of Otzi the Icemen who lived somewhere between 3370 – 3100 B.C.

Today, tattoos are a popular way of expressing oneself, honoring a loved one, marking a significant experience or life-event, and to cover scars or skin discolorations.

Sometimes, however, people regret their decision to get a tattoo and wish to have it removed. Fortunately, there’s now an easy, safe, and minimally invasive solution: laser tattoo removal by TruZen MedSpa.

Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal

The removal of an unwanted tattoo can provide numerous benefits, including:

  • Healthier-looking skin: Tattoos can cause inflammation, skin irritation, and even infections. Tattoo removal can eliminate these problems, leaving behind smooth, healthy-looking skin.
  • Improved self-esteem: Removing an unwanted tattoo can remove a potential source of unwanted attention and embarrassment.
  • Enhanced appearance: Over time, tattoos can fade or become distorted, making once stylish body artwork look unclear and dull. Tattoo removal restores the natural look of the skin.
  • Expanded professional opportunities: Right or wrong, some employers have strict policies against visible tattoos. Thus, removing them from easy-to-see areas can provide greater job and career opportunities.

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

Removing a tattoo involves injecting inks containing pigments underneath the outermost layer of the skin. The combined use of light and heat is used to carefully target and break up the pigment, leaving surrounding areas unaffected. The broken-up pigment is then naturally absorbed by the body and eliminated.

Depending on the size of the tattoo and the colors used, full removal is possible. Some patients request partial tattoo removal so later they can add to or alter an existing design.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

The number of treatments required to successfully remove a tattoo depends on its age, location, color, depth, and density in the skin. Overall, professional tattoos require 5 – 6 treatments for complete removal. It’s important to note that some tattoo pigments absorb wavelengths of light better than others. Here’s more on that subject:

  • Easiest colors to remove: Black tattoos (or ones that use gradients of gray and black for shading) are the easiest tattoos to remove.
  • Slightly difficult to remove: Red, dark blue, or dark green colored inks are also somewhat easy colors to remove since they have darker hues and are better able to absorb laser light.
  • More difficult to remove: Lighter toned colors like purple, green, yellow, and standard blue are more difficult to remove since their absorption spectrums are lower. Neon colors can also be difficult to remove.
  • Most difficult to remove: White is the most difficult color to remove as laser removal treatments can cause white ink to darken.

During your consultation, we will discuss your goals and concerns, explain the process, and determine the best way forward.

Is Laser Tattoo Removal Safe?

With decades of research behind it, laser tattoo removal is a safe and virtually pain-free procedure. While the lasers emit powerful bursts of energy, they do so in short bursts, each one just long enough to break up pigment in the targeted area.

Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Tattoo Removal?

Nearly anyone with a tattoo they no longer want is a candidate for laser removal. However, you should be in good health with no skin cancers or recent wounds near the targeted area. Expecting Moms should not undergo laser tattoo removal.
