What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal employs laser technology to break down ink particles in the skin. Our aesthetic nurse applies the noninvasive laser to the tattooed area, targeting the ink particles and breaking them down into smaller fragments. Your body's lymphatic system then naturally removes the fragments, leading to the tattoo's gradual fading.

Good Candidates for Laser Tattoo Removal

If you're considering laser tattoo removal in New Jersey, you may be an ideal candidate if you meet these criteria:

  • Good overall health without serious medical conditions
  • Not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • No history of abnormal scarring
  • No allergic reactions to tattoo ink
  • Not taking medications that increase skin sensitivity to light
  • No injuries, active skin outbreaks, or inflammation at the treatment site
  • Not sunburned or tanned on the tattoo area
  • Not menstruating (as pain sensitivity may be higher during this time)

The Laser Tattoo Removal Procedure

Prior to treatment, we apply a numbing cream to the area to minimize any discomfort. Protective glasses are provided to shield your eyes from the laser. During the laser tattoo removal procedure, the laser is applied to the tattooed area, targeting the ink particles in your skin. As the ink particles are broken down by the laser, your body is then able to remove them naturally. This safe and effective procedure involves minimal discomfort and downtime.

Recovering From Laser Tattoo Removal

Your experience during treatment may involve some discomfort, which varies based on the tattoo's size and location on your body.

However, most patients find it tolerable, especially with the assistance of numbing cream.

Following your laser tattoo removal session in New Jersey, there is typically no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities immediately. However, your skin may feel akin to a sunburn for several days, accompanied by redness, tenderness, and swelling, which usually diminish within a day or two. You might also notice blisters, bruising, or scabs within 24 hours of treatment, which can take a week or more to heal.

To alleviate discomfort and side effects during the healing process, you can use ice packs wrapped in fabric and apply aloe vera to the skin. Avoiding hot showers, baths, saunas, and hot tubs is recommended during this period. After three days, you can start using unscented lotion on the treated area. Apply it daily for a week or as needed to aid healing and prevent scratching, which can irritate the skin.
