Tattoo Removals
Tattoo removals are becoming a common request ever since the American pop culture trend to “get inked” and indulge in “body art” has grown.
Tattoo mania has been sweeping the nation but tattoo removals have also increased in proportion to the popularity of tattooing.
Considered as “body art,” it is estimated that more than 10 million Americans have been inked.
However, many discover that having a tattoo just doesn’t fit their lifestyle or that it interferes with their career advancement and other goals.
This means that more than 50% of individuals who get a tattoo regret it and seek to have their tattoos removed.
In the past, tattoo removals were unsophisticated and tattoo scarring was common. Recent advances in medical esthetics has changed that forever.
Laser services and tattoo dermabrasion are now standard techniques for tattoo removals.
Here at the Cosmetic Enhancement Center of New England, our medical esthetician will guide you to the best choice for removal of tattoos but the CEC believes that laser tattoo removals are the skin treatment of choice.
Factors that influence the choice of treatment to remove a tattoo include:
- colors and ink variations,
- blemishes,
- size of the tattoo,
- location of the body art,
- individual’s healing ability/status of the immune system,
- how the tattoo was applied (professional or novice),
- and the duration that the tattoo has been on the skin.
Using our advanced laser systems, CECofNE can remove your tattoo safely without leaving a scar.
Our cosmetic MD prefers to use specific laser treatments for successful tattoo removal. The preferred laser for tattoos are:
The use of lasers to remove tattoos are less painful options. The laser treatment selectively targets the pigment of the tattoo, and does not damage the surrounding skin, breaking the tattoo pigment into small particles which are then handled by the body system.
How many sessions will you need for your tattoo removals?
Complete tattoo removal depends on the amount and type of ink used in the design and how deeply it was injected. Your medical esthetician will be able to let you know how many sessions will be required to remove tattoo ink pigment residues and recommend the proper intervals between sessions.
