What You Need to Know Before Getting a Tattoo Removed

April 5, 2023

Tattoo removal is becoming increasingly popular as people choose to take control of their skin and undo the ink that they may have done years before. If you're considering getting a tattoo removed, it's important that you understand the basics of the process. Unthink Inc has you covered with our expert tips and advice on the tattoo removal process. The removal process can vary depending on the size, location, age, and color of your tattoo. Although there are many advertised methods to remove a tattoo, laser treatments are the only nonsurgical method that has proven reliable results. 


Laser treatments involve using light energy to break up the pigment in the ink. Surgical techniques are typically reserved for impatient clients or tattoo remnants that are not able to be removed by laser like scarred areas. When it comes to laser tattoo removal, it’s important to understand that multiple treatments may be necessary in order for all of the ink to be successfully removed. Each session generally lasts between 15-45 minutes and is usually spaced out every 6-8 weeks in between sessions.


Different wavelengths of light are used depending on factors such as your skin type and how deeply embedded the ink is within your skin layers. It’s also important to keep in mind that there may still be some residual pigmentation left over after your treatment sessions have been completed, due to how deeply ingrained the ink may be into the layers of your skin. It’s also essential that you find a qualified provider who specializes in laser tattoo removal if you decide this route is best for you.


Jim is a Certified Laser operator and a qualified provider with experience treating different types of tattoos as well as providing tips and advice for alleviating any discomfort experienced during treatment sessions. It’s also important to discuss any medical conditions or medications you take that could increase your susceptibility to skin issues post-treatment or cause adverse reactions when combined with laser treatments.


With proper preparation and care both during and after each session, however, laser tattoo removal should result in minimal side effects and no long-term adverse reactions for most individuals looking for an effective way to safely get rid of their tattoos without resorting to more drastic measures down the line. If you’ve had a change of heart about that tattoo you once found so cool and heartfelt, don’t worry—now there are ways for it to be safely removed! Remember, tattoos aren't permanent anymore.


Understandably, you’d want to know the basics of how it works before taking the plunge. The good news is that laser-based tattoo removal is one of the most effective techniques around. Highly skilled professionals like Jim at Unthink Inc., use multiple pulses of light that reach deep into the skin in order to break up the pigment particles—it’s like tiny fragments of your tattoo breaking apart and being absorbed by your body as it clears away.


How many treatments are needed will depend on a number of factors, but with this method, your unwanted ink can be gone in no time! When it comes to tattoo removal, it’s important to be informed and make the best decision for yourself. If you’re looking for a safe and effective way to get rid of your unwanted ink, laser tattoo removal may be the right choice for you.
