How are tattoos removed?
Beautologie uses the Q-switched Nd Yag laser, which utilizes an intense beam of light that helps to dramatically lighten or completely remove your tattoo. The concentrated light breaks down the ink into tiny particles, which are safely absorbed through your skin with your body’s natural, cleaning mechanism. After your session, the treated area can scab up and when the scab comes off, some of the tattoo leaves with it.
How many laser tattoo treatments are required?
As each tattoo is different, so is the number of treatments required to remove it. Things like size, location, depth and especially color of your tattoo all contribute to how quickly it can be lightened or removed. Your tattoo removal sessions are scheduled 6-8 weeks apart to allow your skin to heal between treatments. Patients will generally start to notice the lightening of their tattoo soon after the very first session, however 5-15 treatments may be needed for optimal results. Please schedule a consultation so that we can answer all of your questions and begin your laser tattoo removal process.
