Tattoo Removal FAQ in Glenview, IL

Why isn’t my tattoo fading after laser?

If your tattoo isn’t getting enough recovery time, the removal will not be as effective. Your laser technician should give you a clear indication of how long you need between treatments. During the recovery time, your body is actively removing the tattoo. The treatments shatter the ink.

Where does the ink go after laser tattoo removal?

Unfortunately, even after removal, the ink doesn’t just disappear — we actually excrete it through our lymphatic system.

How many days after laser tattoo removal will I see results?

Laser tattoo removal is a process that relies on the body eliminating ink from the skin which can take some time to process. While results will become apparent within a few weeks, it is not unusual for the body to take more than a year to completely eliminate ink.

What oils fade tattoos?

Tea Tree oil can potentially throw off your skin’s PH balance and negatively affect the skins moisture barrier, leaving your tattoos looking dull and faded.

Can salt and lemon juice remove a tattoo?

There is no way a little lemon juice will break up the ink. At the very least this will be very painful. Worst case scenarios are that doing this could lead to infection and scarring. There are really only two options for tattoo removal, excision and laser.

Can salt and ice remove a tattoo?

The answer, in short, is NO! While you may see stories online about tattoo removal with a mixture of salt and water, this practice not only does not remove the tattoo, but also increases your risk of skin damage, infection and permanent scarring.

Is it easier to remove a new or old tattoo?

No matter when you got your tattoo, laser treatment can remove it. However, older ink is easier to remove than new ink, so you’ll probably require fewer treatments if you’re having an old tattoo removed than you will with a newer one.

Why do you have to wait 6 weeks between tattoo removal?

About six weeks is the ideal waiting time between laser treatments because that allows the treated area to heal while the immune system gets rid of the ink. Following the treatment aftercare instructions can help increase the rate of removal and keep your skin in the best condition possible.

Does vitamin E help with tattoo removal?

Apply topicals. When you’ve moved past the three-day mark, you can use a number of topicals that can speed up your recovery. Hydrocortisone cream or Vitamin E oil can help reduce your urge to scratch the treated area.

Do tattoos mess with your immune system?

Innate immune responses involve general reactions to foreign material. So getting a new tattoo triggers your immune system to send white blood cells called macrophages to eat invaders and sacrifice themselves to protect against infection.

Is it easier to remove old or new tattoos?

Overview. No matter when you got your tattoo, laser treatment can remove it. However, older ink is easier to remove than new ink, so you’ll probably require fewer treatments if you’re having an old tattoo removed than you will with a newer one.

Do tattoo removal creams work?

Tattoo removal creams don’t work and can cause serious skin reactions that result in permanent skin or tissue damage. These creams shouldn’t be used as an alternative to FDA-approved treatments.
