Tattoo Removal: What You Need to Know

There may come a time when you’ll want to have your tattoo removed. Perhaps you have a tattoo of your former spouse or maybe your beliefs in life have changed. No matter what your reasons may be, here are several things you need to know before you consider home tattoo removal in St. Charles, IL or visiting a tattoo removal clinic in St. Charles, IL to professionally do it.

1. Set the right expectations.

There may be no guarantees that professional tattoo removal in St. Charles, IL will be able to completely remove your tattoo in one session. Some may disappear completely while others will fade over the treatment time. For color tattoos, the Quanta Q-Plus nanosecond laser treatment removes all colors so no one will be able to tell you ever had a tattoo.

2. You may need several treatments.

Experts often say that you will need multiple treatments to get rid of your tattoo, but it is often difficult to tell at first. Be prepared for the possibility that you may need multiple sessions to completely break up the ink. Some people may take longer, however, depending on your body’s response, the tattoo colors and how large the tattoo is.

3. The location of your tattoo matters.

Tattoos that are in the legs or arms fade much slower than those that are closer to the heart (chest). This is due to better blood circulation in the chest area.

4. It could also depend on who did your tattoo.

Professionally done tattoos penetrate at uniform levels deeper into your skin making it easier to treat and remove. Amateur tattoos on the other hand, have more uneven layers and may be more challenging to remove.

5. Know what happens post-treatment.

Some people may notice some side effects of the laser treatment, such as swelling, blisters, redness, pinpoint bleeding, raising of the tattoo or sometimes darkening of the skin. Not to worry, though. These are rather common effects when a tattoo is removed and usually go away within one to two weeks. If they don't, it’s best to consult your doctor, or talk with the medical provider on staff at your tattoo removal clinic.

6. Darkening of skin can occur.

The ink used in tattoos may oxidize after you get your treatment due to titanium dioxide. This will often result in noticeable skin spots, but with further treatment the skin pigmentation changes often disappear.
