Best Tattoo Removal Treatments near me in Katy, Houston

Tattoos are created by inserting and trapping ink particles into the deep layers of the skin using a needle. When special laser light is directed to the tattoo area, it safely breaks up the original ink particles within a few minutes. These are ten safely absorbed into the bloodstream and removed from the body. Tattoo removal is a gradual process: it’ll probably take several sessions to completely remove a tattoo.

It varies, and depends on the age of the tattoo, its type, size, colour and location. It should take between 6-8 tattoo removal treatments to completely remove a tattoo, but it can take more.

Not always. Some colours don’t break up as easily as others, so it’s fairly normal to see some ink remain in your skin.

Most tattoos require 6-12 sessions for significant fading or complete removal, spaced 6-8 weeks apart to allow the skin to heal between treatments. Variables include ink colour, tattoo age, depth, size, and skin type. Amateur tattoos typically remove faster than professional ones.

Your skin will ‘frost’ (turn pale white) during the treatment, but this should disappear after 20 minutes. You may also experience superficial blistering and scabbing, swelling, itching, and some discomfort. If you pick scabs or blisters, you can increase the risk of infection. Some people experience permanent scarring, and temporary darkening or lightening of their skin’s colour. If you are concerned, ask your technician before you book your tattoo removal appointment.
