Best Skin Doctor for Laser Tattoo Removal in Lucknow
We use the most advanced USFDA APPROVED ALMA Q-Switch ND: Yag laser for tattoo removal which is a very effective method with little risk of scarring and no pain.
Introduction
Tattoo removal is a procedure done to try to remove an unwanted tattoo. With the advent of advanced laser technologies we have a painless, permanent and effective way of getting rid of the tattoos. The Nd:YAG laser from Alma Inc, Israel is one such machine that allows us to effectively get rid of the tattoo pigment without any side effects. The laser beams absorb into the ink particles in the skin and break up the into minuscule fragments. Later, these tiny fragments are washed by the natural cleansing system of our body. Different colors of inks are treated by different wavelengths of light.
What is the procedure like?
- Before laser treatment, the skin is numbed with the application of a local anesthetic cream.
- After the area has become numb, a pulse of laser light is passed onto the tattoo to heat and shatter the tattoo ink.
- Two to three such passes may be performed.
What Happens immediately after the procedure?
A white frosting is seen immediately following the procedure. This will settle down in half hour. Cold ice pack are given immediately following the procedure to ease any stinging sensation.
How many sessions does it take to remove the tattoo?
Most of the professional tattoos take around 5-8 sessions while home-made amateur tattoos require 4-6 sessions. Sessions are usually spaced at intervals of 6-8 weeks. Black and blue coloured tattoos are the easiest for lasers to treat as black and blue absorbs all laser wave-lengths, making it the best color to treat. The right number of sessions that are needed typically depend upon the size and pigment of the tattoo. Red and green coloured tattoos usually require more number of sessions. Multi-coloured tattoos which have different colours within the same tattoo again require more number of sessions as compared to a single coloured tattoo.
Is the treatment painful?
Minor stinging and discomfort may be experienced but that is limited to a mild burning effect. At our centre, a topical anesthetic cream is used at the start of the procedureto make the procedure painless. Tattoo removal is not meant to hurt you and we take extra care to make sure patient is comfortable during the procedure.
Will there be any side effects or scarring?
The chance of scarring is very very low with the latest Q-Switched Nd YAG laser. Some people may report of either hypo-pigmentation (loss of pigment) or hyper-pigmentation (excess pigment). This depends on the skin type. But this reduces with time, and the original skin tone returns gradually.
How much is cost of treatment?
The cost of Laser Tattoo Removal depends upon the size of Tattoo and the colour of the tattoo, but it is not exorbitantly priced. Each session may cost anywhere between 1500 Rs to 4000 Rs. Contact Talwar Skin Centre for more details.
