Laser Tattoo Removal Buena Park

Do you have a tattoo that you want to get rid of, or do you find your tattoos no longer pleasing? Eye Candy Beauty Med Spa offers laser tattoo removal that allows you to eradicate the mistakes and start afresh. Our team of experts in Buena Park will help you in removing the unwanted ink in a safe and non-invasive way.

Why Laser Tattoo Removal?

You may want to erase unwanted tattoo because of several reasons. Perhaps the tattoo no longer expresses you, is no longer attracted, or is associated with painful memories. You could have misspelled a word or chosen an image that was cool when you are 20 but not at 48. Whichever the case, removing the tattoo can be satisfying and give you peace of mind.

In the past, the process of removing a tattoo was surgical and took a long time. With advancements in technology, modern laser treatments were introduced that allow the complete removal of any tattoo without having a surgery or getting scars. Laser devices are the most effective way of removing unwanted body ink without anesthesia and minimal downtime. Our Buena Park laser tattoo removal service uses advanced technological techniques to remove all unwanted tattoos.

How Laser Tattoo Removal Works

The procedure involves lasers, which feature short pulses with high power and superior absorption that allow the removal of complex tattoos without damage to the skin. The process erases unwanted ink safely and effectively. By focusing on specific ink on the skin, the laser removes both difficult ink colors and previously treated tattoos.

You will find laser treatment helpful because of fewer treatments involved, faster recovery time, and better results. However, you may experience a feeling similar to when a rubber band snaps against the skin during treatment. You may also experience a warm sensation in the treatment zone and a bit number, but tolerable. After the session, you may notice some redness, bruising, or crusting that fades within a week.

Are You a Candidate for Laser Tattoos Removal?

Laser tattoo removal treats all skin types and the color of tattoo ink. This makes most people ideal candidates for the treatment regardless of the area of the body to focus on. The procedure may be right for you if your tattoo:

  • Are made of different colors including green and blue

  • Contain a single or multiple colors

  • Did not fade completely following other tattoo removal treatment options

Procedure

A protective eye shield will be given to the patient who will undergo laser tattoo removal.

Lastly, the technician will start using the device which will be moved across the top layer of the targeted skin - to be absorbed by the pigment of the tattoo.

FAQs

+ Who is an ideal candidate for laser tattoo removal?

If you are looking for a non-invasive tattoo removal procedure and have thoroughly revised the decision, you have met the tattoo removal's first candidacy criteria. If you are a pregnant and breastfeeding mother, it's not ideal to undergo laser tattoo removal practice.

+ What are the different wavelengths used for laser tattoo removal?

As every patient is different, every tattoo that undergoes laser removal is unique. Expert laser therapists at eye candy Centre know to remove any tattoo regardless of the colour and design of the tattoo. Popular wavelengths for laser tattoo removal are as follow:

  • Nd YAG lasers|1064nm, 532nm (90-95% of tattoos are removed by Nd-YAG laser technique)
  • Ruby laser |694 nm
  • Alexandrite lasers| 755nm

1064 wavelength is ideal for black and dark-coloured tattoos. 532 nm wavelengths are suitable for red and other warm colours like violet, orange, yellow and brown. Ruby laser with a wavelength of 694 nm is ideal for removing blue and green ink and the shades of teal such as turquoise and lime green. 694 wavelengths are also exceptional for removing resistant black colour. 755nm wavelengths are effective and supplemental wavelengths for removing blue, green, and black lines. Eye candy centre is equipped with the full power of three wavelengths laser machines.

+ What is post-procedure care?

During the process, the patient may experience some discomfort and pain, but it is manageable and tolerable. The feeling of pain is excruciating and is comparable to the discomfort one can have while applying the tattoo. Removal feel of the tattoo with laser is like snapping the rubber band against the skin. Getting desired skin is reasonably possible after laser tattoo removal. A cold compress or analgesic creams help in managing pain. Antibiotic ointments are advised to prevent infection and its spread at the treated area. Sunscreens with SPF 30 should be applied religiously at the treated area.

+ Does tattoo removal leave scars?

Scarring after tattoo removal is very unusual. We at Eye Candy centre use the proper protocols and high-grade system to satisfy our clients as our top priority. After completing the tattoo removal process, the skin looks as normal as before applying the tattoo.

+ How many sessions are needed to obliterate the tattoo?

Typically 3-10 sessions are sufficient for the complete removal of the tattoo. Whereas the type of skin, size of the tattoo, pigments used, tattoo age, skin colour, and skin's ability to heal determine the number of treatments.

+ Is there any side effects?

Aside from redness, tenderness and swelling, patients also experience some blistering, bruising, and hyperpigmentation (among others) in the treated area.

+ What is the healing time of treatment?

The minimal side effects associated with tattoo removal are temporary and subside within a few days. The skin complete recovery and healing from the process is from one to two weeks.
