The side effects and consequences of laser tattoo removal vary in each individual case. Lasers are being improved on as years pass resulting in much more efficient tattoo removal as well as diminishing side effects. Side effects have become fewer and increasingly minor.
To avoid potential harm to your skin it is important to allow sufficient healing time between your tattoo removal sessions. If you have chosen a creditable and skilled doctor or reputable skin clinic, they should schedule your appointments to allow adequate time for healing. Multiple sessions are always required for tattoo removal. The number of sessions is dependent on the size of the tattoo, how solid the color is that makes up the tattoo image, the age of the tattoo, as well as your skin type and skin color.
The duration of the treatments last only minutes but the healing time in between sessions is normally scheduled at six to eight week intervals. This guarantees efficient healing time for the skin tissue to heal as well as giving the pigment a chance to be absorbed in the body.
Side effects can include discoloration of the skin. It can result in a darkening or a lightening of the skin ink. Hypopigmentation is how the condition is referred if the area becomes lightened and hyperpigmentation if the skin darkens. This is a result of your skin color or pigment being absorbed by the laser. This condition may be permanent in some cases.
You will be given clear-cut instructions on how to treat the area in between sessions. These instructions must be followed for the optimum results from your session. If they aren't, you can risk the possibility of infection. Take care of the area and do not divert from your aftercare instructions.
Some individuals experience an allergic response when receiving laser tattoo removal. This an allergy to the inks that have been dispersed and are now released in your system. This can be easily treated with medication prescribed by your doctor.
With the advancements of lasers, chances of scarring have diminished although it is still a possibility.
Chances of experiencing some of these side effects can be lessened by choosing your laser tattoo removal specialist carefully.
