It can be challenging to cover a tattoo that no longer represents you well or just never looked good in the first place. Instead of covering it with clothing or cosmetics, the team at CANJ Aesthetics in Oakland, New Jersey, can safely remove your unwanted tattoo using laser tattoo removal services. Schedule your tattoo removal consultation by phone or book online at CANJ Aesthetics today.
Tattoo removal has come a long way in recent years. Tattoos are permanent if you leave them alone; however, if you’d rather not have yours anymore, tattoo removal gives you the option to fade it or erase it entirely.
CANJ Aesthetics offers tattoo removal services using advanced Harmony XL Pro lasers. This laser system uses a Q-switched Nd:YAG 1064nm laser to deliver energy to the ink in your tattoo, which absorbs the light’s heat.
A 532nm wavelength laser light in the system breaks down bright colors like red, orange, and yellow, while the Q-switched laser vibrates and breaks down darker ink particles like black and blue.
Over time, after each laser tattoo removal session, your body’s immune system naturally gets rid of the shattered ink particles that the treatment leaves behind. As a result, the tattoo fades away with minimal risk of lasting hyperpigmentation or scarring.
Aftercare after tattoo removal sessions is essential. After treatment, your skin is raw and irritable, and you’ll see some swelling and redness; however, this fades within a few days, and any blistering disappears quickly.
As you wait for the side effects of laser tattoo removal to subside, you should cover the area with sunscreen. The team at CANJ Aesthetics may also apply an antibacterial ointment to your tattoo area to minimize the risk of developing an infection. You should try to keep the site clean and avoid using any irritating soaps and products on it.
The number of tattoo removal sessions you need at CANJ Aesthetics varies based on several details. The team examines the tattoo during your initial consultation so they can give you a general idea of how many sessions you can expect. They determine this based on the tattoo’s:
You’ll need fewer sessions if you only want to fade the tattoo and not get rid of it entirely. You must book your sessions several weeks apart so your skin has time to heal and your immune system has time to eliminate excess ink particles.
