Tattoo Removal FAQ in Palm Desert, CA

Can salt remove tattoos?

While salt is an abrasive and does have some use in facials and exfoliant scrubs, it will not clear or remove any tattoo ink. The skin has two layers: the dermis, or inner part of the skin, and the epidermis, or outer layer of your skin.

Why does it take multiple sessions for tattoo removal?

Tattoo ink may be applied in one session, but that application goes deep into multiple layers of skin. The lasers remove the tattoos layer by layer, which is why tattoos fade over a number of treatments instead of disappear instantly.

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.

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.

How long does a tattoo removal last?

Erase Your Ink With Laser Tattoo Removal Depending on how you respond to the treatment, our lasers can deliver visible results within a few months. After one or two years, most people are clear of their unwanted ink for good. That’s all the time it takes to achieve a lifetime of freedom from your old tattoo.

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.

Can bleach remove a tattoo?

One other option you can consider is through the use of skin bleaching creams. Though they don’t outright remove the tattoos, they can help in fading the tattoos thus making them less conspicuous.

Why does my tattoo look darker after laser removal?

Tattoo ink will often oxidize which is what happens to white ink when laser treated. The white pigmentation turns into a darker pigment because the laser breaks the particles apart into tiny fragments which oxidize with the light exposure and the tattoo often turns into a light brown or blue shade.

Why can’t you donate blood after getting a tattoo?

The American Red Cross require a 12-month waiting period after receiving a tattoo in an unregulated facility before a person can donate blood. This is due to the risk of hepatitis. Hepatitis is a type of liver inflammation.

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.

Are old tattoos harder to remove?

The age of your tattoo is a factor in how easy it is to remove. Older tattoos do tend to be removed more easily because they have typically already had some fading over time. For this reason, older tattoos will often take fewer sessions to remove than a newer tattoo would.

How can I remove my permanent tattoo at home without laser?

Removal Cream One more way to remove a tattoo without surgery or laser is by using tattoo removal creams. They are widely used because they are inexpensive. However, there is no evidence that these products completely remove a tattoo. At best, they only help the tattoo fade.

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.

Can lemon remove tattoos?

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.

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.
