What is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Many of us may get a tattoo impulsively, only to realize years later that we do not like it as much as we thought we would & would prefer to get it removed. Laser tattoo removal is a standard tattoo removal method worldwide, including in Dubai. The procedure uses high-energy light of one wavelength that can help remove pigments from the skin. The color of laser light used to remove tattoos depends on the tattoo’s pigments.

Laser Tattoo Removal Procedure

The laser used during the procedure is the Q-Switch laser. The Q-Switch laser is very efficient in breaking down any pigment in the skin without causing any harm to the surrounding area. Laser tattoo removal in Dubai is quite simple & involves the following steps:

• Step 1: A numbing cream is applied to the target region. This is done to make sure that the client experiences as little discomfort as possible
• Step 2: The numbing cream is removed & a cooling gel is applied to the skin to ensure that there is no irritation during the procedure
• Step 3: Following the two steps, a portable device is used to deliver high-energy laser light to the tattooed area in short blasts. The laser breaks the pigment down into smaller particles that are eventually removed naturally by your body
• Step 4: After the procedure is complete the targeted area is soothed using ice packs to reduce any pain or discomfort experienced by the patient
• Step 5: Our aesthetician ensures to apply an antibiotic cream to the area. This helps reduce the risk of possible infections

The number of sessions required depends on the color & size of the tattoo itself. During each session, a small segment of the tattoo is targeted & broken down until all of it is removed.

Why is Laser Tattoo Removal done?

Laser tattoo removal in Dubai is also popular because it is the most comfortable & effective with the least risks in comparison to other methods of tattoo removal. Surgical tattoo removal can cause scarring & is impossible for large tattoos, while dermabrasion has not guaranteed results & is hard to predict.

What are the Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal is the most common method of tattoo removal because it has many benefits in comparison to other procedures.

• It is an effective tattoo removal method with little to no risks
• It does not cause any scarring
• It removes tattoos of any color
• It does not cause any damage to surrounding skin tissue
• It is time-efficient
• Minimal recovery time is required after treatment

Who needs Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal is the safest method of tattoo removal in Dubai for anyone that wishes to undergo it. Anyone that no longer wishes to keep a tattoo can benefit from this procedure. The eligibility criteria are as follows:

• You must be 18 years or older
• You must be in good health. Laser tattoo removal breaks down the pigment into small particles that are then removed by your body. Since this procedure is dependent on the body’s immune response, being in good health is very important to ensure good results & a shorter recovery time. If you are sick, your body will not be able to remove the pigment particles as effectively
• You must not have any injury or scarring near the tattoo. Having a wound or injury at the site of tattoo removal can exacerbate the side effects of this procedure by causing inflammation & redness that will last a lot longer than it normally should
• You must not have a tan. Laser tattoo removal works best on pale skin. Skin that is too tan will require many more sessions to yield the desired results
• You must not be taking light-sensitive drugs. Some drugs can increase your skin’s sensitivity to light. The most commonly used ones are certain antibiotics, retinoids & retinol. Since laser tattoo removal makes use of laser light, it is best to avoid such drugs if you want to get it done right
• You must not be taking immuno-suppressants. These drugs work to slow down the body’s immune response, which is needed to remove the small pigment molecules from the skin

What are the Risks of Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal is a process that carries little to no risks if done by a professional aesthetician with the required experience. It is normal to experience slight discomfort or even pain during the procedure, but it is comparatively less painful than getting a tattoo. It is also common for some dark or light marks to appear on the target area after treatment. These are not permanent & will usually disappear within a few months or, at most, within a year. However, if the procedure is performed by someone that does not have the required proficiency & experience, the following risks become much more probable:

• The skin may get scarred or burned
• The appearance & texture of the skin might change
• The results may not be optimal, with some ink still staying on the skin

How to Prepare for Laser Tattoo Removal?

General instructions to follow before undergoing the procedure are as follows:

• Remove any hairs from the target area
• Clean the target area with antibacterial soap
• Do not apply any kind of lotion or oil to the target area
• Avoid any kind of tanning procedure for four weeks before your appointment
• Avoid excessive exposure to the sun before your treatment
• Make sure to use sunscreen on the target area when going out
• Consult with your doctor & stop taking any type of medication that increases the photosensitivity of the skin

Aftercare Instructions for Laser Tattoo Removal

• Ensure that the treated area is kept clean
• Avoid picking on or excessively touching the target area

Results of Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal has proven to be the most effective tattoo removal method, as it has fantastic results with minimal recovery time. The procedure can be performed on tattoos of all colors, but some pigments respond better to the treatment than others. Yellow & green pigments are the most difficult to remove, requiring more sessions than other colored pigments. Black & dark green are the easiest colors to remove, requiring fewer sessions. A reasonable estimate of the number of sessions required for best results is around five to eight.
