How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

Every color of ink requires a different wavelength of light and amount of energy to be efficiently removed.

The treatment breaks down the ink particles without causing damage to the skin. This is achieved by a Photo-Acoustic effect created by the impact of the laser energy delivered with very short pulses to the targeted ink. Over time, your body’s natural healing processes (the lymphatic system) removes the ink fragments from your body. This allows your tattoo to fade with only minimal risks of scarring or skin discoloration.

What Happens during a Microneedling Treatment?

The treatment sessions for microneedling usually last between fifteen to sixty minutes, on average, with the length of the session depending on the area being treated. You can expect a modicum of discomfort and bleed, but this will largely be affected and depend on the length of the needle used in your treatment. For those who decide upon a deeper microneedling treatment, then a numbing cream will likely be used in order to assure your comfort during treatment. After its application, your practitioner will roll the microneedling device over your skin, creating tiny punctures, which likely result in the feeling of a prickly sensation across the treated skin. After your treatment, you may experience some redness and some minor swelling in the treated areas – these usually resolve on their own, without the need for medical intervention.
