Spring Into a Fresh Start Laser Tattoo Removal in Farmington Hills

As spring arrives in Farmington Hills, many of us feel inspired to refresh our appearance and start anew. If you’re considering a change that will leave you feeling revitalized and confident, laser tattoo removal could be the perfect solution. Dr. David Baird, a board-certified dermatologist at Farmington Dermatology, offers expert laser tattoo removal services to help you achieve a tattoo-free look this spring.

Why Choose Laser Tattoo Removal This Spring?

Spring is an ideal time for laser tattoo removal for several reasons:

• Mild weather supports comfortable recovery and reduces the risk of complications associated with sun exposure.
• Less sun exposure minimizes the risk of skin discoloration and promotes better healing.
• Ample time to heal before summer events and vacations.

Laser tattoo removal is a safe and effective method for removing unwanted tattoos, offering numerous benefits beyond just cosmetic improvement:

• Improved appearance by eliminating unwanted tattoos that no longer align with your personal or professional image.
• Enhanced career opportunities in fields where visible tattoos may be a concern.
• Boosted confidence by removing regrettable tattoos.
• Advanced technology ensures minimal scarring and high success rates.

How Laser Tattoo Removal Works

Laser tattoo removal uses high-intensity light beams to break down the ink particles in the skin. This process allows your immune system to naturally flush away the ink over time. The procedure is non-invasive, which means there is no surgical requirement and a minimized risk of complications and scarring.

At Farmington Dermatology, Dr. Baird employs state-of-the-art laser technology to ensure effective and comfortable removal. Each treatment session is tailored to your unique skin type and tattoo characteristics to maximize results with minimized side effects.

What to Expect During Treatment

Each patient’s laser tattoo removal journey will differ, depending on the color of the tattoo, the size and location, how old the tattoo is and how much the ink has already faded, etc. In general, you can expect a similar base experience during your laser tattoo removal sessions, and the variation will differ in intensity and duration of appointments.

Preparation

Prior to your appointment, you should have clean skin without any lotions, creams, fragrances, or oils of any kind. If you have more excessive hair in the intended area of treatment, you may be told during your consultation to shave prior to your treatment. Make sure to not use tanning beds for at least 4 weeks or self-tanning products for 2 weeks prior to treatment.

Treatment

Depending on your particular tattoo to remove, you may need an average of 5 to 20 sessions spaced several weeks apart to fully remove the ink. This number can be impacted by size, location, or color of ink used. Our machine treats only black or blue-black ink. During your treatment, you will be required to wear protective eye gear. Topical pain relief cannot be administered as they may decrease the efficacy of the treatment. Your session can take as little as 15 minutes.

Post-Treatment

After treatment, you can expect immediate redness, tenderness, swelling, blistering, flaking, or other signs of irritation. Any discomfort can be alleviated with OTC pain medication or ice packs in short intervals. You will want to wash the treated area once a day with an unscented soap and pat dry. You will also want to keep the treated area hydrated with an antibiotic ointment and keep covered for the first week. Many tattoo care rules apply to the removal as well, such as avoid direct sunlight and sunburn while you heal, do not immerse the treated area in water for at least 3 weeks, and do not pick or otherwise mess with the area while it heals.
