Say Goodbye to Unwanted Ink with Tattoo Removal in Chicago

Tattoo Removal

Growing up in the Chicago area, you started picking up tattoos that helped you identify with a certain element and crowd. This was perhaps not the best path you could have taken in life, but now that you are getting older, you are looking to distance yourself from the rebellious days of your past. The future holds for you the prospect of a better life, a better job, and a new beginning. That is to say, provided that you can also distance yourself from the unwanted ink that has settled deep within the layers of your skin. While body art seems interesting in your youth, it can often be a hindrance to your future goals. Fortunately, this obstacle is not one that is impossible to overcome thanks to laser tattoo removal.

A Closer Look at Laser Tattoo Removal

After giving up on the home remedies for tattoo removal, you decided to look into laser tattoo removal. You had heard that people had successfully used this method of removing tattoo ink from their skin to get rid of old tattoos. The science behind laser tattoo removal is actually pretty straightforward. A laser is calibrated to your specific needs, and then it is used to target and break up the ink that is settled in your skin. Eventually, your body takes over and removes this ink from your skin using normal internal biological processes of waste removal. When it comes to the laser breaking up different colors of ink, this works best when the laser uses the right frequency to address a specific color and type of tattoo ink.

Multiple Treatment Sessions for Optimal Results

While laser tattoo removal is a great way to remove unwanted ink from your body, it is, nevertheless, a process. Each time you come to our office in Chicago for a laser treatment, you will notice the tattoo is fading more and more. Although a series of treatments is typically required to achieve the desired outcome, the sessions themselves are simple and convenient.

It’s Never Too Late for Tattoo Removal

With the latest technology and techniques, it is never too late to have your tattoos removed. Laser tattoo removal is performed by our trained technicians and is a fast and safe way to remove unwanted tattoos. During a consultation, your tattoos will be examined and our technicians may perform a patch test to determine the right laser setting for your skin type.

Laser tattoo removal works by breaking up the ink into miniscule particles that are absorbed and eliminated by your body. It may take several treatments to remove your tattoo completely, but as the ink is dispersed, your tattoo will become progressively lighter. The number of treatments needed will depend on the size, depth, color and age of the tattoo. Some colors take longer. Black and dark blue can be removed the quickest.

The laser delivers in short pulses of intense light that passes through the top layers of skin and is absorbed only by the tattoo ink. There is a low level of discomfort experienced by most patients during treatment, and many do not require anesthesia. A topical painkiller may be applied to the tattoo before treatment.

If you are experiencing tattoo regret and would like a tattoo removed, we recommend that you consider the following:

• Discuss your expectations with our specialist. Each tattoo and skin type is different, so we may be able to help you set realistic expectations about the results.

• The location on your body of your tattoo may determine the speed with which it fades. Tattoos on the chest fade quicker that tattoos on the arms and legs because the chest is closer to the heart.

• The type of ink will also determine the speed the tattoo will fade. Usually, professional tattoos are easier to remove because the ink is applied on consistent level, while amateur tattoos may be applied in an uneven way that makes it more difficult to remove.

• There may be side effects after the treatment such as swelling, raising of the tattoo, and redness. These are normal and will subside with time.

• Laser tattoo removal works best on lighter skin tones, because there is the possibility that the skin may become lighter after the treatment.

No matter how long you’ve had your tattoos, you can have them removed with laser tattoo removal. To schedule a consultation today, you can contact our office at Old Town Med Spa in Chicago. Don’t deal with your tattoo regret any longer. Come in today!
