At Pure Glow Medical aesthetics, we utilize medical-grade lasers for tattoo removal, allowing our skilled physicians and technicians to effectively and safely target specific ink colors.
Each color is addressed with a precise wavelength, dispersing pigment particles instantly. Over the next few weeks, the body naturally clears these particles, gradually reducing the tattoo ink. After multiple sessions, tattoos begin to fade and, in most cases, will eventually disappear completely.
How many treatments do I need?
The number of sessions will depend on the type of tattoo pigment, the depth of penetration and the intensity tolerated by the patient, among other factors. More recent tattoos and a higher pigment concentration will require a higher number of treatment sessions. Recent tattoos (less than 6 months) are more difficult to treat.
Typically, treatment may range from 3-8+ sessions. The interval between sessions is around 45 days for the first sessions and 30 days for the subsequent ones.
What does the treatment feel like?
We offer a variety of comfort measures such as medical grade topical numbing cream and injection of local anesthetic into the area if needed. Once the area is adequately numbed, you might experience a mild heat or rubber band snapping sensation during the procedure. After the treatment, as the anesthetic wears off, you may feel some tenderness and warmth in the treated area. Applying cold compresses can help alleviate any discomfort.
