Tattoo Removal Overview

The Method That Works

Laser tattoo removal has become an increasingly popular method for those looking to get rid of unwanted tattoos. Whether it’s due to a change in personal taste, a desire to remove a reminder of the past, or the need for a clean canvas for a new tattoo, laser tattoo removal offers an effective solution. This non-invasive procedure uses advanced laser technology to break down the ink particles in the skin, gradually fading and eventually removing the tattoo.

Laser Tattoo Removal That Works

Laser tattoo removal is widely known as the most effective method for removing unwanted tattoos and tattoo regret. This technique is the safest technique to penetrate the skin’s dermal layer and reach the trapped tattoo ink without damaging the skin. Other methods like salabrasion, dermabrasion, excision, and acid injection are extremely abrasive procedures that result in scarring. Tattoo removal creams, on the other hand, do not reach deep enough into the skin to target and remove ink particles. Instead, most tattoo creams use bleaching ingredients. Plus false advertising creates the illusion of faded tattoos without actual results.

The only method that successfully eliminates tattoos is laser tattoo removal. La Belladonna Studio exclusively uses the Astanza Trinity laser to create ideal tattoo removal results for all colors and skin types.

How Laser Tattoo Removal Works

When a needle punctures your skin to deposit ink particles in the dermis, your immune system is alerted and immediately sends bacteria-eating cells to remove the foreign ink particles to protect your body. However, the ink particle’s size compared to your cells is too large. As a result, only tiny ink nanoparticles are removed at a time, which explains why tattoos are permanent but gradually lose color over a lifetime.

Unlike your immune system, laser tattoo removal can shatter the ink particles into nanoparticles during each treatment. This allows the immune system to flush out the ink easily, speeding up the fading and tattoo removal process.

Our Astanza Trinity laser releases ultra-fast pulses of light energy over the unwanted tattoo, which is absorbed by the ink particles, causing them to heat up and shatter into tiny fragmented particles. Over the weeks following treatment, your immune system will flush out the fragmented particles through the lymphatic system. With multiple treatments, the layers of ink that make up a tattoo will eventually disintegrate, causing your tattoo to fade or be removed entirely.

The rate at which your tattoo fades relies solely on your immune system. Patients with a healthier immune system will likely see faster results. In addition, exercising daily, drinking plenty of water, and massaging around the treatment area can quicken the tattoo removal process.

Laser Tattoo Removal for Cover-ups

Laser tattoo removal is not only for removing unwanted tattoos. It’s also a great tool for modifying, correcting, and covering up existing tattoos into something new. At La Belladonna Studio, we do all things  related to tattoo fading and tattoo removal, including fading tattoos to repair and restore cover-up tattoos.

Tattoo artists worldwide recommend laser tattoo removal before a cover-up. Usually, cover-up tattoos are limited to large, dark black pieces to hide an existing tattoo successfully. Thanks to laser tattoo removal, limitations like color, size, and shading are a thing of the past. Our Astanza Trinity laser can fade a tattoo down, creating a cleaner canvas for tattoo artists to work on and increasing the flexibility of your new and improved cover-up tattoo.

How Laser Tattoo Removal Works

What to Expect: 

During your tattoo removal session, you can expect a few key elements. Firstly, the area will be treated will be cleaned and prepped by our team. Once everything is ready to go, the laser will be precisely directed at the tattoo, emitting short bursts of intense light. You may experience a sensation similar to the snapping of a rubber band or a mild stinging feeling during the procedure. The duration of each session can vary depending on the size and complexity of the tattoo, ranging from a few minutes to over an hour. Afterward, the treated area may appear red, swollen, and even blistered, resembling a sunburn. We will provide instructions for aftercare, which may involve applying ointment and keeping the area clean and protected.

Laser Tattoo Removal for Cover-ups

Cover-up tattoos often require fewer sessions of laser tattoo removal compared to complete tattoo removal. The laser treatment targets specific areas of the existing tattoo, lightening the ink to create a more favorable base for the cover-up tattoo. Our team can then work with a significantly reduced contrast between the original tattoo and the new design, resulting in a more successful cover-up.
