I have been putting aquaphor on it 2 times a day and making sure it is healing the best possible way to ensure no scarring or complications during removal. Is it easier to remove a fresh new tattoo? I feel like it’s so lightly done I can see my skin under neath it. I am praying for quick removal. It’s only 4 days old and I have already booked back to back consults for pricing. Please help.

Answer: Tattoo Removal Hello,Tattoo removal, if not done correctly, can result in either scarring or ghosting. Here are some tips: Find a reputable office with a Pico laser. It produces faster results with less scarring than a nano alone. Tattoo removal shops are not as reputable as a Doctor. Many of these shops close as quickly as they open, leaving you out of luck on pre-paid packages. Stay out of the sun— sunlight can be harmful to healing in after any laser procedure Avoid infections- This means keep your tattoo area clean (i.e. don’t garden right after a tattoo removal on your arm, etc), don’t pick scabs or blisters if they occur. Follow our post procedure instructions. Avoid swimming for 48 hours as water can infect the treated areas. Allow healing between treatment sessions- typically 4-8 weeks. Be healthy- while the tattoo laser breaks up the tattoo particles, your body will actually eliminate the particles. Being healthy will help achieve this process faster and allow for consistent healing. Drink lots of water, get adequate sleep, and eat vitamin enriched foods. Dr. Anil Shah

Answer: Laser Tattoo Removal Facts--takes a series of treatments Tattoos should be removed with q switched or pico lasers. We also use the pfd patch to help speed up the process. It will take a series of treatments, but you'll want to wait until it's completely healed (about 4-6 weeks). I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a laser tattoo removal expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Wait 3 Months Before Treatment to Remove New Tattoo Hello and thank you for your question. Tattoo regret is not uncommon, but we always recommend that a patient wait at least 3 months before beginning tattoo removal treatments. Your body needs time to fully recover from the "trauma" of a new tattoo and you also want to minimize any potential side effects such as hyper or hypo pigmentation as a result of attempting removal too soon after application of new tattoo ink. Taking good care of the tattooed area to ensure optimal healing will be beneficial when you begin treatments, you are on the right track. In our practice, we use the PicoSure tattoo removal laser by CynoSure, which shatters the ink into tiny micro-particles which are then naturally eliminated by your body over time. PicoSure is usually more expensive than other laser treatments, but typically requires fewer treatments and is more comfortable for the patient, so keep that in mind as you consult with practitioners. Stay healthy! All the best to you!

Answer: Removal of a new tattoo New tattoos are not easier to remove than old tattoos. When you get a tattoo your immune system eats the ink and the cell dies and sits in the skin with the ink inside of it. This happens pretty fast so by the time your skin is healed this process will have already taken place. Older tattoos tend to fade because of sun exposure or poor quality ink that breaks down over time causing the pigment to degrade. If the tattoos is made with better ink and the area is not as sun exposed then even an old tattoo will look newer for years. In your case, I would recommend an evaluation by a trained professional who can give you a good estimate of cost. The number of treatments will vary regardless. Best of luck.
