Learn More About Laser Tattoo Removal

Have you ever wondered what makes tattoo ink stay within your skin? It stays because the needle places it in the dermis, a layer where the cells are not shed like skin cells on the surface. Your immune system attempts to remove it, but the particles are too large.

Laser tattoo removal is an effective way to break up and remove your tattoo ink over a series of treatments. At JK Medspa, our team strives to ensure a comfortable, positive experience.

Laser tattoo removal with the Enlighten™ laser uses picosecond pulses of energy to target ink particles. While older systems use heat to break up the ink particles, Enlighten™ uses photoacoustic energy that shatters the pigments without heating your skin. Your immune cells will remove the remaining pieces of pigment and carry them away.

Although the length of a treatment session depends on the size of your tattoo and other factors, most sessions with this advanced laser last 30 minutes or less. Most people find the treatment more comfortable than they expected, with many describing the sensation as feeling like a rubber band snap. If fear of discomfort held you back from considering laser tattoo removal before, the Enlighten™ laser can relieve your anxieties!

Even if your tattoo only took one session to complete, it will take more than one treatment to remove it. The number of treatments needed varies widely depending on:

  • The colors used in your tattoo
  • The age of your tattoo
  • Whether your tattoo was done professionally
  • The concentration of ink particles or how saturated the colors are

Some tattoos, such as those done with thin black lines, may disappear in just a few sessions. Others, such as a large tattoo with heavily saturated colors, can take six or more sessions. While we can estimate how many treatments you may require, each tattoo responds differently.

Once your tattoo is gone, you will never see it again. The shattered pigment particles are filtered out of the body, leaving your skin clear. You can even get another tattoo in the area without worrying about your past one ruining it.

You can return to work or other activities immediately after your laser tattoo removal session. Depending on the details of your treatment, the skin in the area may look red and feel sensitive and swollen for up to a few days. We will recommend applying a hydrating, protective lotion to the area. You may notice small blisters, but these will go away quickly if you avoid touching them.

Because laser treatments make your skin sun-sensitive, it’s very important to wear sunscreen and protect the area from sun exposure between sessions and for several weeks afterward. Avoid scrubs and harsh or strongly fragranced products on the area until it has healed.

Almost anyone with an unwanted tattoo can benefit from laser tattoo removal with the Enlighten™ laser.  Good candidates should understand the need for multiple sessions and what results they can expect to see. All tattoos can be successfully treated, although some will take more time than others.

You should not have a laser tattoo removal session if you have broken or irritated skin in the treatment area. People who are pregnant or have certain medical conditions shouldn’t have this treatment.
