The harsh truth is you bear the pain during tattoo removal. Please read on the different services you can get from the best tattoo removal near me.   

Find a plastic surgeon or dermatologist that specializes in tattoo removal

These people will be making recommendations for the best removal process. During the consultation, you get to know how many sessions required for removing the tattoo and the treatment cost. When visiting the office you must go through the before and after images of tattoos, the dermatologist has removed.

Discus the removal methods that will work specifically for your tattoo

The effectiveness of any professional method depends on the expertise of the professional, color and size of your tattoo and the skin type. For instance, some laser methods work better on specific colors of tattoos than others. Also black and dark blue becomes difficult for removing. Similarly, through the surgical method, it is easy to get rid of a small tattoo but it will be difficult for large tattoos.

Laser Surgery

For most tattoos, this laser tattoo removal is the best option. Before the process, a professional will be numbing your skin with a local anesthetic. Then, lasers are directed at the tattooed area and the pigments will absorb the energy from the beam. This energy will break the pigments and carried away by your body. This technique usually takes six to ten treatments for tattoo removal with healing time in between. Your plastic surgeon or dermatologist will be able to provide you an estimate of a number of sessions you require. The procedure is safe but it can leave you with scarring. After the procedure you may have bleeding, blisters or swelling, so apply antibiotic ointment to the affected area.

Surgical method for small tattoos

Here also, a medical professional will be numbing the skin with a local anesthetic. Then by using a scalpel, they will cut the tattoo out. After that, they will put the skin back together by stitching. It will also leave a scar along the line where the doctor stitches the skin. While this method also works with larger tattoos but a skin graft is required to do it.  A skin graft is a process where the skin is taken out from elsewhere on your body and then applies to the area when they are removing the tattoo. Some risks prevail like rejection and infection of the skin graft. It also leaves with inconsistency in the appearance of your skin.
