In general, this is often what you should expect throughout a laser tattoo removal session :

• You’ll be given a pair of protecting eye shields.
• The technician will check your skin’s reaction to the laser to see the most effective energy for treatment.
• The technician uses the laser to pass pulses of intense light through the top layers of your skin which will be absorbed by the tattoo pigment only.

Smaller tattoos will require fewer pulses whereas larger ones will need additional to remove them. In either case, to fully get eliminate a tattoo, it’ll take many treatments. After every visit, your tattoo should become increasingly lighter.

Laser tattoo removal is uncomfortable, however most patients don’t want anesthesia. Depending on the location of your tattoo, you will want to apply a topical anaesthesia cream beforehand.

Immediately following the treatment, use an ice pack to soothe the treated space. And apply an antibiotic cream or ointment and bandage to guard it. You must also be sure it’s coated with sunscreen when you’re outside.
