Laser Tattoo Removal

New laser technology is being used to remove tattoos. The laser beam targets tattoo pigments and breaks them down using high-intensity light. It is generally a safe method for tattoo removal, though individual results may vary. The advanced laser device has the ability to remove the tattoo ink color in the most effective way. 

Laser tattoo removal is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that eliminates tattoos from the body. It has successfully replaced all the other traditional methods of tattoo removal that were being used previously. 

Dubai Cosmetic Surgery offers Laser Tattoo Removal in Dubai at an affordable price.

What is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal is a technique that helps you get rid of unwanted tattoos with minimal pain. It utilizes a special laser device that directs the laser beam on the tattoo to be removed. The laser beam targets tattoo pigments, breaking them down into smaller particles that are then expelled from the body through the lymphatic system. During the whole procedure, the surrounding skin does not get harmed.

Who is a Good Candidate?

You can be an ideal candidate for tattoo removal  if you;

• Have overall good health, both mental and physical.
• Are free from any active skin diseases or infections.
• Are not pregnant or breastfeeding?
• Have realistic expectations from the treatment. 

Which Laser Device is Used?

Pre Care Instructions

Your doctor will advise you with some pre-instruction so that your procedure goes smoothly. You get desired results.

• Clean your skin of the targeted area and remove hair.
• Avoid undergoing any other laser treatment before your laser tattoo removal session.
• Hold on to makeup, moisturizer, and any other location in the tattoo area.
• Use a high SPF sunscreen to protect the area from excessive sun exposure.

Laser Tattoo Removal Procedure 

Laser tattoo removal treatment may not require anesthesia, as the pain is generally manageable. The duration of the procedure can vary, typically ranging from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo. The procedural steps are as follows;

• First of all, the laser therapist applies a numbing cream to the treatment site for almost 30-45 minutes.
• The numbing cream is then wiped off, and a cooling gel is applied so that you can tolerate the laser heat.
• A hand-held laser device is brought closer to the targeted area.
• The device emits short pulses of a high-intensity laser beam, breaking the ink pigments into tiny particles.
• The lymphatic system of the body then removes these particles.
• The settings of the laser system are adjusted based on the color of the tattoo. Lighter tattoo colors may require more time and sessions to fade effectively.
• Ice packs may be used to minimize discomfort.
• Your laser specialist may apply a topical antibiotic to the treatment site as a precaution against infection.

AfterCare Guideline

• Apply the prescribed soothing gel which will reduce swelling.
• Hold on to strenuous exercises and chlorine water swimming.
• Place ice packs on the targeted place.
• Do not touch and scratch that area.
• Apply the prescribed healing cream to aid in recovery.
