Everything you need to know about laser tattoo removal services at Andromeda Aesthetics
Laser tattoo removal might seem daunting at first, but with the right guidance and care, it can be a smooth and rewarding process. At Andromeda Aesthetics, we invite you to ask questions, so the more you know, the more confident you will feel about the procedure. Rachel Moline Blankenship and her team offer YAG laser tattoo remover services at our Moneta, Virginia, area office. Let’s look at some commonly asked questions about this treatment:
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Many patients desire painless tattoo removal. However, this is nearly impossible. With our YAG laser tattoo device, patients may feel a slight stinging sensation. Many of our patients compare it to the feeling of a rubber band snapping against their skin. However, it is over quickly, and many patients will ask about cooling devices or numbing options to minimize this discomfort.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on various factors, such as the size, color, and age of your tattoo and your exact skin type. On average, though, it might take anywhere from five to ten sessions. With each session, you’re one step closer to clearer skin!
Can all tattoo colors be removed?
Most tattoo ink colors can be removed, but some are trickier than others. With our modern laser technology, patients can remove most higher-quality inks using our YAG device, ensuring full removal or even significant fading to prepare for a cover-up tattoo.
Will my skin look normal after removal?
While results vary from person to person, most of our patients find their skin returns to looking clear and smooth once the treatment is complete. Just make sure you follow aftercare instructions to heal properly and avoid scarring.
Is laser tattoo removal safe?
Absolutely! When performed by a trained professional at our office in Moneta, Virginia, using proper equipment, laser tattoo removal is a safe and FDA-approved procedure. Always choose a reputable clinic like ours to ensure the best care for your skin.
What should I do to care for my skin after each session?
After each session, you must clean the entire area, avoid sun exposure, and apply any ointments your specialist recommends. You might notice increased redness or swelling, but that is completely normal and part of your skin’s healing process.
Can I remove my old tattoo completely, or will there be a shadow?
Most tattoos are significantly removed, and many fade to the point where they are no longer noticeable. However, results vary depending on the depth of the tattoo and the colors used.
