Some people see tattoos as a form of art. Some get tattoos as a reminder to herald a significant event. Some tattoos serve as a daily reminder to live a certain way.
Yet there are times in life where one needs to have their tattoo removed for various reasons.
There are a few ways to remove a tattoo, one of which is laser removal. It’s an efficient method for removing tattoos but you might stumble upon a few misconceptions similar to laser treatment for pigmentation removal.
Before you get your ink removed, be aware of how laser removals operate by knowing these common myths:
While there’s a slight risk of minimal scarring with laser tattoo removals, it’s usually uncommon. All laser specialists are trained to identify the recommended amount of laser energy to use on the patient. As such, the treatment usually does not result in scarring at all.
It’s also highly recommended for patients to take care of their skin before and after undergoing treatment. This is to ensure that the laser will cause no scarring.
Some people believe that since tattoos fade over time, it’s easier to have them removed once they’re old. However, any tattoos, regardless of age, can be treated via laser treatment.
Laser removals can be more expensive than getting tattooed.
It can be an uncomfortable procedure that can take months or even years before the entire tattoo is completely removed. Moreover, coloured tattoos e.g. yellow and green are very hard to remove.
Just like getting a tattoo, not everyone is an ideal candidate for laser removal.
As such, it’s essential to have a consultation with a doctor in Singapore to decide if your skin is suitable for laser treatment.
Some contraindications for tattooing include skin diseases, diabetes, blood disorders and immunosuppressive conditions.
Some tattoos are harder to remove compared to others. For instance, black tattoos are easier to remove than colored ones.
It takes multiple laser treatments and sometimes, a combination of different laser treatments to remove a multicolored tattoo. As such, you must consult with a doctor experienced in laser to evaluate the recommended procedure to see how effectively they can remove your tattoo.
