Removing your tattoo
Tattoos are becoming increasingly popular among people of all ages and backgrounds. Tattoos are still a very popular. However, as much as they are a form of self-expression, they are also a permanent commitment,
As you move into a different phase of your life, the tattoo that once meant so much to you, has just stopped serving it’s purpose. And while the tattoo seemed like a great idea at the time, it may not always be something you want to keep for the rest of your life.
Fortunately, these days it is possible to remove unwanted tattoos. Laser tattoo removal is one of the most effective methods, but how much does laser tattoo removal cost? Let’s find out by understanding first, how tattoo removal works.
How does laser tattoo removal work?
When getting a tattoo in the first place, the ink is placed in the Dermis. Which is the deeper layer of the skin. And there it sits. The body can’t break it down because the ink particles are too large. This is why you need the help of a laser.
The laser energy targets the tattoo ink and shatters the ink particles into tiny little fragments. This makes it easier for the body to start eliminating and flushing the ink out. Health and lifestyle play a major role when it comes to tattoo removal. But not just that.
How many laser tattoo removal sessions will I need?
It’s important to note that multiple sessions are required for complete removal. The estimated number depends on various factors including tattoo colour, amount of ink and ink depth. We also have to consider tattoo location on the body and age of tattoo. Older tattoos generally need less treatments than newer tattoos.
Let’s take a look at a few examples of our very own clients.
The first photo of the chest tattoo is 16 years old and is close to the heart. Tattoos on the body that have higher circulation can see quicker results. The wrist tattoo is only 1 year old. Fresher ink can be more difficult to shift. And it’s on the wrist so it’s further away from the heart. Lower circulation.
The chest tattoo has only had 4 treatments and will likely only need one more. Whereas the wrist tattoo needed 8 treatments.
On average you may need 8-10 sessions. Some people need less. Some may need more. However please note that every tattoo is different. And every individual reacts differently.
