I have two tattoos I'm going to remove in the near future. Both are big tattoos one on my arm is about 1-3 inches wide at some points and it swirls around my forearm to the elbow. The other is about a 4x4 on my right shoulder. I got lucky with the ink, one is black and the other is black and blue I know the procedures will be very expensive but I just have a couple questions. Now I would like these tattoos completely gone, there is no point in paying 7k-12k to have outlines of these tattoos still on my arm. I need them completely removed and I won't stop until they are. My questions are what can i do to have the completely gone so my skin isn't destroyed. I'm looking into laser removal. But lets say theres still a little bit left, would rejuvi method be possible after laser removal? or what other methods would be possible. Another question is i know it will be painful because I've had 4 sessions done on the one on my arm when it was much smaller. Is there an anesthetic out there you can use? I added a photo of the one on my arm.
We have 2 lasers dedicated to the practice of tattoo removal. These lasers are q switched
technology which is the gold standard in tattoo removal. With both lasers we are able to
treat inks of multiple colors and depths of the skin.
I perform several tattoo removal sessions a day and each is unique however, the darker the tattoo is usually easier to remove.
I just had my eyebrows tattooed today, they are too dark..I am sick..how can I lighten them? I have been scrubbing them all day in hopes of lightening them a little.
Give it some time, tattoos are naturally dark and will fade with time. However, depending on the color various lasers can be used to soften the appearance. This will likely require multiple treatments staged over a long period.
I searched around and get a bunch of different answers, Which tattoo will be lasered more successfully - a newer tattoo a month old or a tattoo that's years old? I am asking because my tattoo is about a month old and a i deeply regret it. (its all black, mostly shading) will I get effective results?
It depends on the pigment density more than anything as well as the color. Older tattoos tend to have a lower density and sometimes take less total sessions.
