There are various methods to get rid of unwanted tattoos. One of them is the surgical removal of tattoos, but it can not do without the resulting scar. At UEM Karlovy Vary, we specialize in laser tattoo removal. We use the modern IPL Quantum laser, which is effective in removing smaller tattoos.
Prior to treatment, a personal consultation with a physician is required to assess the tattoo and determine if and how (and if at all) the tattoo can be removed, taking into account the inks and types of pigments used.
Laser tattoo removal involves the use of special lasers that target the pigments in the skin. The treatment is less invasive and usually less painful compared to other methods such as surgical tattoo removal.
Během zákroku může pacient cítit mírné štípání, proto lze použít chladící gely nebo lokální znecitlivující krém.
After the application of the anaesthetic cream, the actual laser treatment begins. The laser pulses eliminate the thermal effect and major damage to the surrounding tissue. The laser breaks down the pigments into small particles that are removed by the body's immune system.
The procedure needs to be repeated several times, depending on the size and color of the tattoo. An interval of 6-8 weeks is usually recommended. Be sure to allow at least 4-6 treatments for larger areas, permanent makeup can usually be removed in 2-3 sessions.
After the procedure, proper care of the treated area is important to promote rapid healing and minimize the risk of complications. The usual recovery time depends on the size and location of the tattoo, as well as the patient's individual response.
Plan well when you go for removal, the skin is more sensitive after treatment and should not come into contact with the sun for a prolonged period of time. It is also not recommended to swim in a pool for a few weeks and to visit a sauna or solarium.
What does the skin look like after tattoo removal? The effect can be very diverse. Usually there is a gradual fading of the tattoo after a few sessions. Some inks can be removed more easily than others, and in some cases it is not possible to remove the tattoo completely. It is important to have realistic expectations and understand that results may vary.
It is only possible to remove a tattoo surgically if it is a very small tattoo. In this case, the doctor will cut out the tattooed area and sew the edges of the skin together. However, a scar always remains at the tattoo site after this procedure.
The price of tattoo removal in Carlsbad varies depending on several factors, including the size of the tattoo and the number of sessions needed. An accurate price estimate is only possible after a personal consultation, where the doctor will assess the tattoo and determine the number of sessions needed to achieve the best possible result.
