Laser Tattoo Removal in Hyderabad

About Laser Tattoo Removal (overview)

Laser tattoo removal is a process in which a tattoo is removed from any part of your body with the help of laser beams. Laser tattoo removal techniques help you to get rid of any unwanted tattoo or to revise a tattoo. Concentrated laser beams are pointed on the area of the unwanted tattoo and the tattoo pigmentation is destroyed with the help of the laser beams.

Treatment Procedure

Sometimes tattoos don’t turn out to be perfect. At times, you might feel different about a tattoo. Over time, tattoos become blurred and lose their sheen. Then it’s time for you to get tattoo removal. Tattoo ink is used on the top layer of the skin. The high-intensity laser beams are targeted on the skin which breaks up the pigments of the tattoo. The black pigments absorb the laser wavelengths quickly which makes it easier to locate and remove the pigment. Other colours are removed by using different lasers. Apart from laser surgery, surgical removal technique and Dermabrasion can also be performed to remove an unwanted tattoo.

Laser surgeries include the use of different lasers and wavelengths for different pigments of the tattoo. The high energy laser beam is put to dissipate the tattoo ink.
Surgical tattoo removal is effective but can leave scars on the skin. This can be done only on small tattoos.

In Dermabrasion, a tiny high-speed rotating device with a wheel or brush that induces corrosion is used to remove a tattoo. It is a skin-resurfacingprocedure used on the outer layers of the skin.

Preparations to take before the procedure

First, you need to schedule a consultation with your dermatologist. Your dermatologist will examine your tattoo and tell you about the procedure. The treatment depends on one’s age, skin type, size and colour of the tattoo and how deep it goes. Then, you need to book an appointment with your dermatologist.

Before the procedure begins, you will be given a pair of goggles to save your eyes from the harmful laser beams. Generally, anaesthesia is not necessary for tattoo removal. However, in some cases, the patient is given a topical anaesthesia cream before the treatment. Next, the technician will examine how your skin responds to the laser to determine the most effective beam for your skin. The technician puts the laser beams on the areas of tattoo that needs to be removed and lets the pigments absorb the laser.

After the procedure (what to expect, recovery, and results):

After the procedure is done the affected areas are soothed with ice packs. You will be given an antibiotic cream to avoid any chances of infection or inflammation and the treated area will be bandaged. Larger tattoos need a few sessions more than the usual number of sessions. With time you will notice your tattoo becoming lighter.
