Laser Tattoo Removal Windsor Ontario

What is Windsor Ontario Laser Tattoo Removal?

Tattoos are a form of self-expression. Unfortunately, how you expressed yourself 10 years ago might not be the way you want to present yourself today. Luckily, inked clients of Medical Aesthetics don't have to live with embarrassing tattoos forever. Windsor Ontario laser tattoo removal is designed to help you safely and effectively rid your skin of old tattoo markings.

Understanding Tattoos

In order to understand Windsor Ontario laser tattoo removal, we must first understand how tattoos are applied to the skin. By definition, a tattoo is a pigmentation that permanently resides below the epidermis, in the dermis level of the skin. Windsor Ontario laser tattoo removal is designed to target and break up ink that is stored in this deeper level. Ink that resides in the epidermis layer of the skin will only stay there temporarily - the ink will be sloughed off during your skin's regular process of growth.

How the Laser Works

The laser that is used in a Windsor Ontario laser tattoo removal procedure doesn't actually remove pigment molecules from the skin. Instead, the light that is emitted during a Windsor Ontario laser tattoo removal treatment helps the body naturally dissolve and carry the pigments away. Windsor Ontario laser tattoo removal requires a laser of concentrated light be shone directly onto ink pigments. The pigments attempt to absorb this light, but are unable to due to the sheer strength of the beam. The power of the laser breaks apart the pigment molecules, reducing them to tiny particles. Over time, scavenger white blood cells, known as macrophages, will invade the area and help flush the smaller pigment particles out of your dermis. Patients should see noticeable results approximately a month after a Windsor Ontario laser tattoo removal procedure.

How to Prepare for Your Windsor Ontario Laser Tattoo Removal Procedure

There is very little prep required when undergoing a Windsor Ontario laser tattoo removal procedure. Before going under the laser, the technician at Medical Aesthetics will usually prescribe an anaesthetic cream that should be applied to the tattooed area prior to treatment. This will help numb the area and will ensure that your laser tattoo removal procedure in Windsor, Ontario is as pain-free as possible. If you're still worried about feeling discomfort during the procedure, the professionals at Medical Aesthetics recommend taking a non-Aspirin type of pain killer about two hours prior to your appointment. It's very important that you take a non-Aspirin pain reliever - doctors believe that taking an Aspirin-based pain killer may encourage bruising around the treatment site.
