$60 usd per session

Tattoo removal is a procedure that aims to erase or fade an unwanted tattoo from the skin. There are different methods of tattoo removal, such as laser surgery, surgical excision, and dermabrasion. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, depending on the type, size, color, and location of the tattoo, as well as the type and condition of the person’s skin.

About the tattoo removal procedure

The most common and effective method of tattoo removal is laser surgery, which uses a high-intensity beam of light to break down the pigment in the tattoo ink. The ink particles are then absorbed by the body and eliminated through the lymphatic system. Laser surgery is usually performed in a clinic or medical spa by a qualified technician or doctor. The procedure can take from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of the tattoo. The procedure may cause pain or discomfort, similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, but most people tolerate it well. Some people may use a topical numbing cream or ice to reduce the sensation.

Tattoo recovery

Tattoo removal recovery time varies depending on the person and the extent of the procedure. Typically, a person can expect to have some redness, swelling, crusting, and peeling for the first few days or weeks. A person should avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect the treated area, as it may be more sensitive and prone to sunburn. A person should also follow the doctor’s instructions for wound care and medication. A person can return to work within a few days or weeks, depending on the nature of the job. The final results of the procedure may take up to six months to appear, as the tattoo gradually fades.

Are You the Right Candidate for Tattoo Removal?

You may be a good candidate for tattoo removal if you have an unwanted tattoo that affects your self-esteem or causes you any problems, such as social, professional, or personal. You should also be in good health, have realistic expectations, and understand the risks and benefits of the procedure. However, tattoo removal may not work for everyone. Some factors that can affect the outcome of the procedure include:

The age, size, color, and quality of the tattoo. Older, smaller, darker, and simpler tattoos are easier to remove than newer, larger, lighter, and more complex ones.
The type and color of the skin. Laser tattoo removal works best on people with fair skin and dark tattoos, as the laser can easily target the contrast between the skin and the ink.
People who have dark or tanned skin may experience more side effects, such as pigmentation changes or burns, as the laser can damage the skin or affect melanin production.
The location of the tattoo. Tattoos that are closer to the heart, such as those on the chest, neck, or arms, are easier to remove than those that are further away, such as those on the legs, feet, or hands. This is because blood circulation and the lymphatic system help remove ink particles more quickly and effectively.
The person’s health and lifestyle. People with a strong immune system, a healthy diet, and regular exercise can achieve better results than people with a weak immune system, poor diet, and a sedentary lifestyle. This is because the immune system and metabolism play a key role in removing ink particles from the body.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does tattoo removal cost?

At Ciplastic, the initial cost for a tattoo removal procedure is $60 USD per session. Your final cost will depend on your specific individual needs.

How long do tattoo removal results last?

Tattoo removal is not a permanent solution, as some of the ink may remain in the skin or reappear over time. However, tattoo removal can significantly reduce the visibility and appearance of the tattoo, making it less noticeable or easier to cover. The results of tattoo removal can last for several years or longer, depending on the person and the tattoo. You may need to undergo maintenance treatments once or twice a year to maintain the results.

What are the risks and complications of tattoo removal?

Tattoo removal is generally safe and effective when performed by a qualified and experienced professional. However, like any medical procedure, it does carry some risks and possible complications. These include:

Pain, swelling, redness or irritation at the treatment site.
Blistering, scarring or infection at the treatment site.
Hyperpigmentation (darkening of the skin) or hypopigmentation (lightening of the skin).
Eye injury, if the laser is not used correctly or eye protection is not worn.
Rarely, burns, skin damage or changes in hair texture or growth.
