What Can I Expect From My Tattoo Removal Experience?
One of the first things we do when you show up for your first tattoo removal experience at The UnTattoo Parlor is photograph your tattoo. This photograph is used to document and compare changes between treatment sessions, and to help advise us on our treatment plan. Once photographed and compared with any previous documentations, we numb the area of skin with a lidocaine injection before applying the tattoo removal laser. Lidocaine numbs the skin, allowing your tattoo removal experience to be pain free. This local anesthetic is optional, and choosing to forgo is perfectly fine but may result in some discomfort. The laser is then applied by hand, making sure that the entire tattoo area is covered with precision. Once the treatment is finished, we apply an antibiotic ointment and cover the area with a protective dressing. Many people feel well enough to resume their regular activities immediately after treatment. After treatment your body will slowly rid itself of the tattoo ink and you should see significant fading of your unwanted ink. We recommend between 1-3 treatments for lightening and 3-6 treatments for complete removal.
