FAQ - Laser tattoo removal
We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions about tattoo removal for you here. Below the questions you will find short, concise answers to the most important topics.
Is the removal of tattoos painful?
The laser treatment feels like a rubber band bouncing on the skin. The pain can be reduced during the treatment with a cooling device; from treatment 2 onwards we can also use an anaesthetic cream.
How many treatments do I need?
An average of 2 sessions are required to laser away permanent make-up, and an average of 4 to 6 sessions are required to laser away tattoos. This is an average value and can therefore be less or more. How many treatments you need to remove your tattoo / SPMU depends on the size, depth, ink colours and skin colour.
What will my skin look like after the treatment?
After the treatment, the skin may be slightly reddened and warm. A small, superficial scab may form. These normally disappear within 1-3 days.
How long should I avoid the sun after the treatment?
You should avoid the sun as much as possible for the first 6 weeks after treatment. If you come into contact with UV radiation, you should protect yourself adequately and use sun protection factor 50.
When will you see the results?
How long the treatment lasts depends on your tattoo. Remember that several treatments are required, with a break of 8 weeks between each treatment. With each treatment, the tattoo will fade more and more and eventually disappear. More specifically, you will see results after each session: the tattoo will become lighter and lighter.
