Tattoo Removal FAQ in Kailua Kona, HI

How many sessions does it take to remove a tattoo fully?

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.

What are the side effects of laser tattoo removal?

Scarring. Infections. Skin discoloration. Skin irritation or a rash. Pain or discomfort.

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 laser tattoo removal worth the money?

In short, laser tattoo removal is the safest and most effective method for getting rid of that old ink available today. Because it uses only lasers, it is a relatively noninvasive treatment that targets only the ink of your unwanted tattoo and leaves the surrounding skin unaffected.

Can hydrogen peroxide remove tattoos?

At-home and DIY tattoo removal methods like hydrogen peroxide should be left to urban myth and tall tales, and never attempted. They are ineffective and worse, could lead to skin damage.

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 long does skin hurt after tattoo removal?

Redness, tenderness and swelling usually subside a day or two after treatment. Blisters start forming within 24 hours after treatment and they may appear alarming, but these indicate that your body is healing as it should.

What are the pros and cons of tattoo removal?

Pain of the process. Cost of treatment. Lasting side effects like skin discoloration. Possible infection.

Is one session enough for tattoo removal?

An average of 10-12 sessions are usually required to eliminate a tattoo, but each case is unique and may require more or fewer treatments. The frequency of treatments depends on your tattoo, the most common time frame between treatments would be 6-8 weeks.

Which skin type is best for tattoo removal?

Tattoo removal is more effective for individuals with lighter skin (specifically Fitzpatrick type 1 or 2 skin types). Because lighter skin does not significantly absorb laser light, most of the laser energy is focused on the tattoo pigment. In contrast, dark skin siphons a portion of laser light from the tattoo.

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.
