Laser Tattoo Removal

Pertinent Information:

• Procedure Duration: Each session typically lasts 15-30 minutes, depending on tattoo size and complexity.
• Ideal Candidates: Individuals with unwanted tattoos seeking safe, effective removal.
• Treatment Area(s): Any areas except for directly over the eye on the eyelid inside the orbital bone.
• Expected Results: During the first two sessions, performed using the Quality-Switched (QS) emission mode (a nanosecond pulse duration), clients may not see significant fading; however, these initial sessions are crucial for gently breaking down the ink. From the third session onward, clients can expect to see noticeable fading between sessions. Complete removal is not always achievable, and while downtime is minimal, clients should be aware of the possibilities of scabbing, itching, blistering, pigmentation changes, and other unforeseen reactions.
• Downtime: Minimal; some redness and sensitivity may occur, but these typically resolve quickly.
• Technology Used: Discovery PICO laser system, with multiple laser wavelengths and emission modes for precise pigment targeting while protecting surrounding skin.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q1: How does the Discovery PICO laser system work for tattoo removal?

A: The Discovery PICO laser system combines peak power and precision to shatter tattoo pigments without compromising surrounding skin. The QS mode in the first two sessions gently begins breaking down ink, while subsequent sessions enable more visible fading. With three true wavelengths, it can effectively target a wide range of tattoo colors, providing the best results for tattoo removal in Waco, Texas.

Q2: Will tattoo removal hurt?

A: Most clients experience some level of pain during treatment, which can vary based on tattoo location and individual pain tolerance. We prioritize client comfort by offering pain management tools such as our Sub-Z cryogenic air machine, ice packs, topical numbing creams, and stress balls. While we prioritize client comfort, it is important to note that some discomfort is to be expected.

Q3: How many tattoo removal sessions are needed, and what will tattoo removal cost?

A: The number of sessions varies based on tattoo characteristics like color, size, and depth. Many tattoos respond well within 4-10 sessions. We provide a complimentary consultation at Sanger Avenue Medical Aesthetics in Waco to discuss tattoo removal costs and create a personalized treatment plan.
