Tattoos are a popular form of self-expression. However, sometimes our tastes change (or maybe it wasn’t the best choice in the first place) and a favorite tattoo has lost it’s appeal. PicoLazer tattoo removal in Brentwood and the surrounding Nashville metropolitan area is an effective option for removing tattoos, but you may be wondering if it really works, how long it takes, and most importantly, how much does it hurts.
You may have been told that tattoos are forever, but that’s not exactly true with PicoLazer tattoo removal in the Nashville metropolitan area. At Advanced Skin & Laser Center in Brentwood, TN, we can help you to slowly turn back the hands of time with tattoo removal. While many tattoos can be removed completely, there are a few factors that will affect removal:
Laser tattoo removal allows you to remove unwanted tattoos without surgical excision and scarring.
The number of sessions needed will vary based on personal factors, but it’s generally a long process. Expect 6-12 sessions spaced about 6-8 weeks apart. The entire process can take several months or a couple of years.
Treatment sessions typically take just minutes.
Everyone wants to know, does tattoo removal hurt? Everyone has a different pain tolerance, but yes, there is some amount of discomfort during your removal sessions. It’s often compared to a rubber band snapping against your skin. Fortunately, treatments are fast, but topical anesthetic cream can be applied prior to treatment to ease your discomfort.
PicoLazer™ uses ultra-short laser pulses to break down ink particles into tiny fragments that your body can naturally eliminate. Compared with other laser options, PicoLazer™ provides faster ink breakdown, reduced risk of scarring, minimal damage to surrounding skin, and greater effectiveness across a variety of colors.
PicoLazer™ tattoo removal uses ultra-short laser pulses to break down ink particles into tiny fragments. The body then naturally eliminates these fragments through the lymphatic system. Compared to traditional lasers, PicoLazer offers several advantages:
The shorter pulses allow for quicker breakdown of ink particles, potentially reducing the number of sessions needed.
The precise targeting of PicoLazer minimizes damage to surrounding skin, lowering the risk of scarring.
PicoLazer can target a wider range of ink colors compared to traditional lasers.
The Pastelle laser is a cutting-edge device using Q-switched Nd:YAG technology. It can safely and effectively target a larger area while minimizing the damage of the surrounding skin cells. Pastelle in Brentwood and the surrounding Nashville Metropolitan area is commonly used for tattoo removal and for treatment of dark lesions and hyperpigmentation.
Unwanted tattoos can be a source of regret, but the Pastelle laser offers a safe and effective solution. The laser energy targets and breaks down the ink particles within the tattoo into smaller fragments. These smaller particles are then gradually removed by the body’s natural processes.
While getting your tattoo may have been a one time appointment, removing it will take a bit longer. Most people need a series of treatments based on the size, color, depth, age, and ink type. After each session, you should notice more and more fading your tattoo. If you’re concerned about pain, topical treatment is available to help.
With age, many of us start to notice spots appearing on our skin. These could be sun spots, age spots, freckles, birthmarks, or melasma. These spots most commonly appear on areas of our skin that are exposed to the sun, like your hands and face. While harmless, they can make your complexion appear ruddy or make you look older than you actually.
Similar to tattoo removal, laser treatment with Pastelle in Brentwood and the surrounding Nashville Metropolitan area works by breaking down the darker melanin so it can naturally be flushed from your body. As a result, you’ll have a clearer and brighter complexion. However, keep in mind that dark spots caused but the sun may return with sun exposure, so using SPF and sun protectant garments are necessary to maintain your results.
Whether you’re interested in tattoo removal because you regret the design, you weren’t happy with the outcome, your tattoo has changed over time, your relationship status has changed, or it’s in a visible area that you’d prefer not to feel the need to cover, tattoo removal is possible.
