\"Permanent\" and \"tattoos\" are no longer synonymous. The process of having a tattoo removed has become much easier throughout the years due to innovative technology and skilled professionals. Board-certified dermatologist\u00a0Dr. Lucy Chen<\/a> sat down with Haute Beauty<\/em> to discuss the tattoo removal process, how soon patients can see results and more.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Explain the process of tattoo removal?
\n<\/strong>Laser energy\u00a0is used to shatter\u00a0tattoo ink into tiny particles, which is then cleared up by your body's own immune system. Different wavelengths of the laser are needed to target different colors in the tattoo: black ink is the easiest to remove, followed by red, green and\u00a0blue.\u00a0Multiple treatments are needed in order to have complete clearance of the tattoo. Many different types of tattoos can be removed, not just professional ones (for example, cosmetic tattoos of eyebrows or lips, medical tattoos like radiation tattoos, and traumatic tattoos from accidents.<\/p>\n

Which patients would not qualify for this procedure?<\/strong>
\nPatients should be careful about going just anywhere to have their tattoo removed. Laser settings must be specified for the ink color and the patient's skin type. If not done properly, those who have\u00a0darker skin tones may have a\u00a0skin burn or develop hyperpigmentation as a adverse\u00a0effect. Patients should avoid sun exposure and tanning 1 month prior to the procedure.<\/p>\n

The great thing about our\u00a0Picoway laser for tattoo removal is that it is safe for patients of all skin types and nearly all\u00a0tattoo colors. That means fewer treatments and better clearance of the tattoo.<\/p>\n

How soon can patients see results?
\n<\/strong>Clearance of the tattoo can take anywhere from 3 to 12 treatments depending on the size, colors and how long you've had it.\u00a0Fading of tattoo ink can be seen as early as the first treatment. There is no guarantee that 100% of the tattoo can be removed for a variety of reasons including whether it was done at a professional or amateur\u00a0parlor and what kind of ink was used.<\/p>\n

What are the follow-up procedures?<\/strong>
\nPatients can expect some swelling and bruising at the treated area and are expected to keep the treated\u00a0area clean, covered and dry. Treatments are spaced 8 to 12 weeks apart.<\/p>\n

Can patients get a tattoo in the same place as the removal? If not, why?
\n<\/strong>If not done properly, laser\u00a0tattoo removal\u00a0can cause scarring and skin color changes which can change the integrity of the skin. It is best to consult a dermatologist\u00a0before getting another tattoo in the same place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
