When people hear the words “Laser Tattoo Removal” there are many thoughts that automatically come to mind. Some of the biggest misconceptions of laser tattoo removal are that is causes scarring, your tattoo can be removed in one session, new tattoos are easier to remove, and all lasers are exactly the same. All of the are false.
Laser tattoo removal does not cause scarring. As long as it is removed properly, by a professional, the area of your skin will look exactly how it did before you got your tattoo. The only case in which you could have a scar is if you already have a scar underneath your tattoo. During your consultation, your tattoo will be examined thoroughly to let you know if you already have scarring from your tattoo.
Your tattoo cannot be removed in one session. It will take roughly between six to twelve sessions to fully remove your tattoo. The size, shape, and location of your tattoo affects how many sessions will be needed. Upper body tattoos can generally be removed in fewer sessions than lower body tattoos because the tattoo is closer to your heart and this area receives the best blood circulation.
There are many different misconceptions about laser tattoo removal, but these are a few of the most popular. Before you start your treatments, it is important to do research and talk to a professional to understand what laser tattoo removal is actually like.
