Frequently Asked Questions on Laser Tattoo Removal

Laser Tattoo Removal has become one of the most popular treatments in the past few years.  Medical spas all over the country are now offer laser tattoo removal and many people are seeking it's benefits.  One of the increases for laser tattoo removal is due to the strict requirements that the military has placed on those who want to enlist not being able to have a tattoo in an area that shows in their uniform.  Following this same agenda many local police departments, fire departments, and government agencies have also created policies that don't allow employees to be hired if they have tattoos that show in uniforms.  These reasons combined with basic regret and people changing as they get older have made the number of laser tattoo removal treatments sky rocket.
Even though laser tattoo removal is so popular there are still many things about it that people don't know or understand.  After running a medical spa for 9 years and performing laser tattoo removal at Winter park Laser in Orlando here are frequently asked questions on laser tattoo removal answered.
Frequently asked questions on laser tattoo removal:
#1 Will my tattoo go away completely or just fade?
Answer: As long as it is a professional laser majority of tattoos can be removed completely especially black tattoos.
#2 What colors of tattoos are the easiest to remove?
Answer: Black tattoos are the easiest color to remove because black ink can absorb all wavelengths of light.  Yellow and green inks can be more difficult to remove because they contain less pigment.

Every state has different regulations but in Florida it has to be a licensed physician, physician assistant, or Registered Nurse Practitioner.  It is best to also look for someone who has has a lot of experience performing laser tattoo removal.

Questions to Ask for Laser Tattoo Removal Consultation

Our medical spa was one of the first in Orlando to offer laser tattoo removal 4 years ago.  Tattoo removal has since grown by about 50% in our medical spa and in popularity in general.  There are many reasons men and women choose to remove tattoos but the top reasons are for a career change, joining the military, government job restrictions,  relationship changes, or they simply don't like it anymore.  Whatever the reason a person should decide to get laser tattoo removal it is important to receive a good consultation before getting a treatment as these are strong lasers.  I have performed tattoo removal consultations for 4 years and these are the top questions to ask if they are not addressed by the consultant.
Top Questions to ask for Laser Tattoo Removal Consultation:
#1 Question: What type of laser is used for tattoo removal, is it safe for your skin type and is it a laser specifically for tattoo removal?
Reason to ask: Unfortunately throughout the years I have seen and heard horror stories of people who had tatoo removal with a "laser hair removal" device at various medical offices.  This is not safe! It can cause blistering and leave scars.  It is important to know that the laser is safe for your skin type.  If you have dark skin you should only be treated with a Q-switch Yag or Picosure laser for tattoo removal.
#2 Question: Who performs the treatment, what their credentials and years of experience?
Reasons to ask: Every state has different requirements as to what level of education and license you need to perform laser tattoo removal.  In Florida it has to be an ARNP, PA-C, or physician to perform laser tattoo removal.  You should also try to choose someone who has a minimum of 12 months of experience.
#3 Question: Have you treated these colors of tattoo before and can I see work on your clients?

 Reasons to ask: You want to be sure that the technician has worked with all spectrums of colors of tattoos and understands the correct settings to use.  You want to see "before and after tattoo removal pictures" of their clients not just stock photos.

Top Reasons People get Laser Tattoo Removal

After the economy crashed the job market has become a difficult world to compete in. Those who hadn't had an interview in 20 years quickly found themselves competing again those more experienced, younger, and other talents. While, the competition in the job market not only increased, the employers also had the opportunity to make hiring requirements more stringent. I feel that this has had a huge impact on the laser tattoo removal market. Here are the top Reasons that clients come to us (Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center) for laser tattoo removal in Orlando Fl. #1 Military Enlistment: All branches of the military have not come out with new restrictions that no longer allow men or women who have tattoos that show in their uniforms to enlist without having them removed. #2 Career Opportunities: Men and women who have tattoos that show such as face, hands, wrists, neck tend to have a more difficult time getting certain career opportunities. #3 Life Changes: Many people get tattoos when they are young not thinking about how they will feel about them 20 years down the line. Then they have kids, partners, careers and the tattoos don't represent what the person they are today. Laser tattoo removal gives a permanent solution to what was once a permanent problem. Tattoo ink is removed by using specific wavelengths of light which pass into the skin, and is absorbed by the ink. A given wavelength targets only a single color (or a group of nearby colors). For example, the red wavelength removes the green ink and the green wavelength removes the red ink. The rapid absorption of the light energy (shock wave) causes the tattoo ink to break into tiny particles which can then be removed by the body’s natural filtering systems often referred to as the body’s lymphatic drainage system. Complete Numbing of the treatment area using Lidocaine injections is an available option for a painless procedure.

Questions to Ask before Getting Laser Tattoo Removal

Our Medical Spa has now been offering laser tattoo removal for 3 years and we have become local Orlando experts in this technology. We would like to share our advice for those seeking Laser Tattoo Removal at any medical spa anywhere in the United States. Laser Tattoo Removal is an amazing technology that has come a long way and can provide an opportunity to erase something that was once though permanent. The reasons that people get Laser Tattoo Removal vary from person to person but lately a lot of them have been military related as it is now impossible to enlist in most military branches or get hired at government agencies such as police stations or Fire Departments or prisons if you have any tattoos that show. We also just have those clients who now parents or just feel differently than they did when they got the tattoo when they were 18. While laser tattoo removal is the best option to remove tattoos there are important questions to ask before selection a medical spa for treatment. Question #1 to Ask: What type of laser do you use & is it specifically for laser tattoo removal? Why: Technology is so important and there are certain lasers created only for tattoo removal. Unfortunately I have heard of hair removal lasers being used for tattoo removal which can cause blisters or worse. Question #2 to Ask: How old is the laser being used? Why: Again, technology has gotten better and if the laser is really old the results not be effective. Question #3 to Ask: Is this laser safe for dark skin (if you have dark skin) Why: Only Q-switched Yag lasers are truly safe for dark skin types, anything else can cause scarring and blisters. Question #4: Who is performing the treatment, are they certified, licensed & what are there qualifications and experience Questions #5: Always ask to see before & after photos of their work-not stock photos!

The Benefits of Laser Tattoo Removal vs. Cover-Ups

At our medical spa in Orlando Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center we have been performing laser tattoo removal for 3 years & have seen over 400 tattoos within that time walk through our doors for consultations. I can't tell you how many times the tattoos people want removed our "cover ups" meaning a tattoo on top of a tattoo. Why tattoo cover ups can be a bad idea: #1 the tattoo usually ends up being MUCH bigger-& when you do decide to get it removed via laser tattoo removal it will cost you double! #2 Most of the time you can still see the first tattoo & that looks weird. #3 Do not get a flesh tattoo b/c laser tattoo removal works via pigment meaning the darker the pigment the easier it is to remove it, flesh color is virtually impossible to remove. #4 If you do not fade it via laser tattoo removal first the colors can look awkward #5 You risk making it worse & are spending money to do so!! Laser tattoo is a much better option. Even if you truly want to cover up a tattoo most good tattoo artists will advise you to have at least 1-3 sessions of laser tattoo removal to fade the tattoo first. Laser tattoo removal will give you a fresh start removing the tattoo completely over a series of sessions depending on the color of the tattoo. If you don't like your tattoo remove it-don't try to put on a bigger butterfly over an ugly butterfly-it never seems to work out.
