Laser Tattoo Removal After Care Instructions

May 2nd, 2009

Here at New Look Laser Tattoo Removal we try to keep all the steps in laser tattoo removal as simple as possible. With the newest technology in tattoo removal lasers, the skin is able to heal fairly quickly and easily. Our clients are back to their normal routines almost immediately so that laser tattoo removal does not interfear with all the more important things we have going on in our lives.

Having said that, the after care instructions are basically a couple steps:

1. Right after your laser treatment, we will put an over the counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin over the entire lasered area. We will place a bandage on it as well.

2. You will want to keep the area covered with a bandage for three days after your treatment putting neosporin or triple antibiotic cream over the area 2-3 times per day.

3. After the three days are over, leave the area open to the air and do not put any additional antibiotic cream in on it so that it will dry out and heal up more quickly. There is sometimes a temptation to leave it covered for longer but don’t, the air circulation is good for healing.

4. Continue with your normal activities of daily living and return to New Look for your next session at the scheduled time. You are one step closer to having that tattoo removed!

Is Laser Tattoo Removal Safe?

January 18th, 2009

Some patients here at New Look Laser Tattoo Removal have questions about the safety of laser tattoo removal. Here are several key questions and answers to patient questions about the safety of laser tattoo removal:

(Q) Is the laser light from a tattoo removal laser safe or does it cause cancer?
(A) Lasers used for laser tattoo removal are FDA-approved and have been approved as safe for removing tattoos and other dermal pigmentation. The wavelengths of light that are created are forms of non-ionizing radiation, so there is no risk of them causing cancer or otherwise damaging your body.

Tattoo removal lasers do have some minor side effects, but when a modern laser is used (such as those used by New Look Laser Tattoo Removal) these are minimal and do not lead to long-term effects. Common side effects include swelling, redness, and some blistering. These are all part of the normal healing process and will help your body remove the ink from your skin.

One other safety issue to address are basic but very important eye-safety precautions that we take. Our laser practitioners and patients will wear protective goggles that will protect your sensitive eyes (specifically the retina) from the laser. When used, these goggles provide complete coverage and protection from eye damage from the laser.

Allergy to Your Tattoo

January 12th, 2009

Are you allergic to your tattoo? A small percentage of our patients are removing their tattoo because they have developed a strong allergic reaction to their tattoo. For most of these tattoo removal patients, they have received their tattoo within the last month and are experiencing redness, itching, swelling, and discomfort from their tattoo. Red ink is the most common color of tattoo ink that causes an allergy. Allergy to tattoos makes the tattoo removal process somewhat more difficult and uncertain compared to tattoos that are being removed for purely cosmetic reasons. Your immune system is having an allergic reaction to your ink and your body’s ability to flush the ink we shatter out of your body can be complicated by the body’s rejection of the ink. For some patients we will be able to successfully perform a laser treatment on your tattoo and shatter the ink in your tattoo, but the ink will not be flushed through your immune system. This is often difficult to predict but when you come in for a free consultation at New Look we’ll be able to discuss some of these issues with you.

How Does a Tattoo Removal Laser Remove Your Ink?

January 3rd, 2009

Tattoo removal lasers work by directing specific wavelengths of light towards a tattoo. The ink in a tattoo absorbs certain wavelengths of light that fits its absorption pattern. Here’s an example of how color really works - when light shines upon a red apple, what colors are reflected and what colors are absorbed? All colors are absorbed except red, which is reflected and seen by the viewer. With a tattoo removal laser, wavelengths that are absorbed well by tattoo ink (and less so by things in the skin that we want to ignore) are used for certain colors - whether the tattoo ink be green, red, black, purple, or orange. When the absorption occurs, the tattoo ink heats up - imagine your body absorbing the sunlight and feeling warmer. Because of the extremely fast pulse of a tattoo removal laser - several billionths of a second - the tattoo ink heats up very quickly, causing it to shatter.

Once the ink is shattered it is easier for your body to remove it - like it would any other foreign particle. It takes a number of sessions to remove tattoos, but we can remove most colors of tattoo ink here at New Look Laser Tattoo Removal, the specialist in laser tattoo removal in Austin, Texas.
