Tattoo Removal FAQ in Hamden, CT

What does skin look like after tattoo removal?

Redness, tenderness and swelling typically subside within a day or two post-treatment. Blisters usually appear within 24 hours of treatment. Scabs, bruising, and blistering may take up to a week or longer to heal. You should avoid picking scabs and taking care of blisters; otherwise, scarring can happen.

How many sessions does it take to remove a tattoo?

This depends on the age, colors, size, and location of the tattoo. Larger tattoos may require between eight and 10 removal sessions. Smaller tattoos may require between five and seven removal sessions. However, some tattoos can take as few as two treatments or as many as a dozen sessions.

Does Vaseline fade tattoos?

It’s best to avoid products that are 100 percent petroleum-based, like Vaseline. The American Academy of Dermatology says that petroleum-based products can cause the ink to fade.

Can a tattoo be completely removed?

Yes, lasers can remove tattoos completely. In fact, lasers are the safest, most effective tool to remove unwanted tattoos with. However, you may need to receive several sessions before the tattoo is removed completely.

Does pigment come back after tattoo removal?

This can take months, sometimes even years, for your skin colour to return to normal. There have been instances where the pigment change never resolved. However, most people agree they’d rather deal with hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation than the actual tattoo they had laser removed.

Can I remove my tattoo at home?

The DIY methods you can find online simply aren’t strong enough to remove pigments from the dermis — most of them affect the epidermis only. Some methods can even damage the skin and lead to unpleasant side effects. Below are some of the most touted at-home tattoo removal methods and why they don’t work.

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

How long does it take to heal after laser tattoo removal?

The total healing time after laser treatment is about 4 to 8 weeks. But, what you do during those weeks can increase or decrease the healing process. Healing times vary depending on the type of treatment, the strength of your immune system, and how closely you follow your aftercare plan.

How painful is tattoo removal?

Rest easy — while laser tattoo removal can hurt, chances are it won’t hurt as much as getting the tattoo did. Tattoo removal pain is comparable to the pain of a bad sunburn, and the laser pulses feel like a rubber band snapping against your skin.

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.
