Is Laser Tattoo Removal Painful?

The process does carry mild pain, which is why patients are encouraged to request topical numbing creams or use local anesthesia. After the treatment, you might experience mild redness, swelling, and discomfort, and you can use over-the-counter pain medication to relieve the symptoms.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

The number of appointments needed depends on the size, color, and location of the tattoo and the type of ink used. The lasers compromise the ink pigment into smaller particles, which are then flushed out by your body. In between sessions, your skin also needs time to heal so that it doesn’t blister, discolor, or scar.

How Long Until I See the Results?

Patients are recommended to wait six to eight weeks between subsequent sessions to give the skin time to heal. It can take between six and twelve sessions to remove the tattoo or see significant results, depending on the size, color, and location of the tattoo.

Can I Combine Laser Tattoo Removal with Other Procedures?

Given the intensity of this procedure, we recommend you mention any desires for combined procedures to Nina Gaetano, PA-C, at your initial consultation so that she can best advise on if and what you can combine, given your medical profile.

What Are the Risks Associated with Laser Tattoo Removal?

There are potential risks associated with tattoo removal procedures, which could include: Discomfort Infections Rash Skin discoloration Skin irritation Superficial scarring Please contact our practice immediately if you experience any of these or other unwanted and long-lasting reactions.

What is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal is a procedure to remove the permanent ink of a tattoo from beneath your skin’s surface. The permanence of tattoo ink comes from the size of these ink particles. Given their size, the body’s immune system is not able to attack these foreign particles. This is the strategy that laser tattoo removal uses. In this procedure, the lasers break down these large ink particles into smaller particles that the body’s natural immune system can then attack. This process is complex; therefore, it can take multiple laser therapy sessions to remove a tattoo using this type of treatment.

Laser Tattoo Removal First Step

What’s the First Step?

The first step to getting a laser tattoo removal in Chino and the greater Inland Empire is to schedule an in-person visit with Dr. Nina Gaetano for a consultation. During the consultation, she will talk to you about your health history, aesthetic goals, expectations, and any concerns you might have. She will examine your tattoo and outline the procedure’s risks, benefits, and limitations. At the end of the consultation, if she deems you to be an ideal candidate, she will create a treatment plan, after which you can take the plan to our patient coordinator for scheduling and pricing details.

What to Expect on the Day of a Laser Tattoo Removal Treatment

On the day of your appointment for your laser tattoo removal in Chino, our team will welcome you and get you settled in one of our treatment rooms. They will go over your treatment plan in case of any last-minute questions and/or concerns. Then, an anesthetist will apply local anesthesia or a local numbing cream, depending on what you discussed during your consultation, so you can be pain-free during the treatment.

Laser tattoo removal uses an intense beam of light to significantly lighten or completely remove your tattoo without harming the surrounding healthy cells. The treatment time and sessions vary on the size and color of the tattoo, but multiple treatments will be required in each case. It is also important to note that with several unregulated tattoo inks being used, it is impossible to predict the degree of removal on any tattoo since the depth and amount of ink used have yet to be discovered. Many tattoos done with newer inks are partially removable.

Laser Tattoo Removal Recovery

This treatment is outpatient, and you should be ready to go right after the treatment.

Possible side effects may include redness, swelling, and tenderness in the treated area immediately following treatment. An antibacterial ointment and a dressing will be applied to the area right after treatment. There is the chance of some pinpoint bleeding associated with the treatment. The treated area should be kept clean and should not be scrubbed.
