Laser Tattoo Removal Specialist in Orlando, FL

As one of the most advanced methods of tattoo removal, laser treatment is an excellent option for erasing body art you are no longer fond of. While laser treatment can be used to remove tattoos, it is not guaranteed that the tattoo will be removed completely. Whether your tattoo can be fully removed depends on the age, color, location, and size of the tattoo, as well as your skin tone and how deep the pigment goes.

As black tattoo ink absorbs all wavelengths emitted by the laser, black tattoos are the easiest to remove. In contrast, tattoos with multiple colors, especially those with light or neon hues, are more challenging to remove. In addition, older tattoos are often simpler to remove because the ink has broken down to some extent over time.

In most cases, a series of tattoo removal sessions are needed to significantly fade the ink in the treated area. Your laser sessions will be spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin to heal and the body to absorb and eliminate the fragmented ink particles. The right number of tattoo removal sessions for you will be discussed by the specialist during the consultation session.

While laser tattoo removal can be painful, it likely won’t cause much more discomfort than getting a tattoo. Often, the sensation felt during the process is compared to an elastic band snapping against the skin. Other people compare it to a bee sting or a mild electric shock. After the treatment, you may experience discomfort similar to a bad sunburn for a few hours to a couple of days. Essentially, while it’s nobody’s favorite feeling, tattoo removal is tolerable for most clients.

The amount of pain you will feel during your tattoo removal depends on factors such as the depth of the pigment, the size, location, and age of the tattoo, and your level of pain tolerance. For example, removing tattoos near bonier areas, such as near the spine, is typically more painful than treating areas with more fat, such as the front of the thighs.

Scarring after tattoo removal only occurs on rare occasions. The process is designed to be as safe as possible. In addition, thanks to advancements in tattoo removal technology, the risk of scarring is much lower than previously. Your provider will outline the benefits and potential risks of tattoo removal, as well as aftercare instructions, to ensure the laser treatment is as safe and effective as possible.

With this treatment approach, the risk of side effects is higher if you have darker skin or a preexisting skin condition, such as eczema. To minimize these risks, lasers with adjustable settings are used to remove the pigment as safely as possible. If you are worried about the risk of scarring due to laser treatment, you can have your questions answered by the specialist during your consultation appointment.

The total price of your tattoo removal treatment is dependent on the clinic you choose, the specific method used, and how many sessions are needed to fully fade the pigment. On average, laser tattoo removal can range from $250 to $500 per session, and a series of sessions is needed to lighten the pigment, typically between 7 and 10. It’s recommended to budget about $500 for permanent makeup removal, while a full course of laser removal for body art can range from $1,000 to $10,000.
