MOST ASKED QUESTIONS
Find the Answer
To be honest about it, yes. Laser tattoo removal can be painful depending upon the colors involved and area of the body being treated. The sensation of laser removal can vary greatly, from mild to intense, but the length of the procedure itself is very short, especially when compared to how long it took to get that tattoo in the first place! A popular description of what the laser treatment feels like is being repeatedly snapped with a rubber band or struck by popping bacon-grease. In some cases, the laser can cause no real sensation at all. Laser removal sessions are generally quick, with most being from 5 to 30 minutes in total. After the procedure the treated area can have mild discomfort, very much like a sunburn.
Tattoos are made of tiny ink particles that have been placed into the upper layers of the dermis, with their average depth being about 2-4 millimeters. Laser energy in different wavelengths (usually 532nm and 1064nm) are applied in controlled intensity to the tattoo that is being removed. The intense energy of the laser pulses is absorbed by the ink particles, causing them to break apart. Then, the smaller, broken-down particles are then flushed out by the body's immune system. After a healing period, the process is repeated until the tattoo is lightened enough to coverup or it is fully removed.
Due to the many variables involved, such as pigment type, depth, natural pigmentation, colors involved, and many others, each tattoo presents its own unique challenges and course of treatment. A broad, rough figure to begin with is between 3 to 12 sessions. This is why Oops! Laser Tattoo Removal does not give pricing quotes for total cost. We quote session costs, so you're only paying for what you get!
Since every individual tattoo is completely different, we strictly charge by the session. Our minimum session cost is $50, with the maximum being $200 per session. If you pre-purchase 5 sessions, your 6th session will be free! Consultations are always free of charge.
Immediately after the laser has been applied to the tattoo, you will notice a whitening of the uppermost layer of skin that was treated. This is a result of tiny amounts of gas released by the heat destruction of the pigment particles by the laser. After the procedure, you can experience temporary swelling, itching, heat-sensitivity, and possible (though rare) blistering. Should blisters occur, scarring can be avoided by keeping the affected area clean and dry, and applying a small amount of Vitamin A&D Healing Ointment. Another rare side effect can be a temporary hyper- or hypo-pigmentation. (Darkening or lightening of the natural pigmentation of the skin in the treated area.)
Should any blistering occur, the chance of scarring is increased. In most cases, scarring can be avoided by following the provided after-care instructions, and applying the provided healing ointment to the affected area. Please note, however, that any scarring that was present before the treatment will not be removed or reduced. Laser Tattoo Removal will affect the ink, specifically. It will have no reductive, nor adverse, effects on pre-existing scar tissue formations.
