Administrator — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:09:12 +0000

MTV featured New Look Laser Tattoo Removal last night on its reality show True Life. The episode was call “I Hate My Tattoo,” and New Look’s Family Nurse Practitioner Lynette Kennedy was seen giving a consultation to a patient wanting tattoo removal. It showed an actual laser tattoo removal procedure as well. This is a great way to learn more about tattoo removal; how wide-spread it is, how important it can be in people’s lives, and how easy it is. The next showing of the episode will be on Wednesday, Sept 9th at 7PM. It will also eventually be posted on MTV’s webpage and we will post a link to make it easier to access.

Please do not hesitate to contact us with your laser tattoo removal questions.

Laser Tattoo Removal After Care Instructions

Administrator — Sat, 02 May 2009 11:10:30 +0000

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!

Allergy to Your Tattoo

Administrator — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 01:50:22 +0000

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.

What to expect with your free consultation

This will also allow you to start your first laser tattoo removal session if you wish to.

Here are just a few things that will be covered during your consultation:

1. How the laser works
2. How many sessions we think it will take to remove your tattoo
3. Discussion on colors and density of the ink in your tattoo
4. How much your sessions will cost
5. How frequently you should come in -usually every four weeks
6. Side effects to treatment – very minimal
7. Aftercare instructions
8. How exactly the ink is removed with the laser- immune system
9. We will provide answers to all your specific questions you bring with you as well
