Erasing a tattoo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In France, it is estimated that 25% of individuals under the age of 30 are tattooed<\/strong>. The process involves injecting ink into the<\/strong> dermis<\/strong>, which is the middle layer of the skin. Unlike the epidermis, this layer does not regenerate, which makes tattooing a permanent body modification.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, over time, tattoos can lose their appeal<\/strong> due to various factors such as aging, poor workmanship, or changes in the design, such as stains, deformities, and signs of aging. Social discomfort can also occur, especially when these tattoos are located on visible parts of the body, such as the hands and forearms, or are perceived negatively by partners or acquaintances. Trends change, and so do personal tastes, which leads to “erasing the tattoo” \u2013 the desire to remove tattoos \u2013 or simply an overwhelming feeling of “weariness”. In this case, laser technology <\/strong>can come into play to remove these permanent marks from the dermal layer of the skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With advances in aesthetic medicine, laser tattoo removal<\/strong> is becoming an effective solution for virtually erasing tattoos. Once the necessary sessions have been completed at the medical laser tattoo removal center in Saint-Louis<\/strong> near Mulhouse<\/strong> and on the Basel border, unwanted<\/strong> tattoos can be eradicated, leaving minimal visibility. This approach is positioned as the best option to regain skin without permanent marks. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Covering<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Tattoo cover-ups are not always a feasible solution when it comes to a poorly executed tattoo. In some cases, the original tattoo is excessively dark or damaged<\/strong>, making it visible even after an attempt to conceal it by a new design. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overlay process involves creating a new, larger tattoo to hide the old<\/strong> one. However, this method is not suitable for everyone. In addition, an attempt at recovery without prior laser tattoo removal sessions considerably limits the possibilities of the new design.<\/strong> That’s why incorporating a few laser tattoo removal<\/strong> sessions before venturing into recovery gives the client more options.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

What is the principle of tattoo removal?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The light beam emitted by the laser is transformed into heat absorbed by the ink pigments and allows the ink granules making up the tattoo to be ” pulverized<\/strong> “. They break into very fine particles by photo-acoustic effect. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The absorption of the laser beam is selective to the pigment of the tattoo,<\/strong> without damaging the surrounding tissues. The wavelength used depends on the color of the tattoo and the patient’s phototype. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The body’s immune system then does its job thanks to the repair cells (phagocytes and macrophages) to eliminate these fragments (duration 6 months).<\/strong> Thanks to its ultra-fast waves, the laser used for tattoo removal sessions acts without damaging the skin, which is exposed to heat for a very short time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does a tattoo removal session work at the<\/strong> Saint-Louis laser center?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Before starting the treatment, photographs of the tattoo(s) are taken to assess the effectiveness of the treatment<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. It is recommended to apply an anesthetic cream under an occlusive dressing about 1 hour before the session, especially if the treatment area is large. The treatment remains sensitive but largely bearable. In addition, if the tattooed area has hair, it should be shaved 48\/72 hours before the session (except for the eyebrows). <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. During the session, the practitioner removes the anesthetic cream and disinfects the area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Occlusive shells or protective glasses specific to the Hollywood Spectra Laser will have to be worn by the patient and the doctor throughout the session.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. The session begins and the laser beam scans the entire tattoo one or several times depending on the pigments present. In the case of a circular tattoo around a joint (finger, elbow, knee, ankle, etc.), the session must be done in two stages with an interval of at least 48 hours to prevent the edema caused by the laser from compressing the joint (compartment syndrome).<\/strong> When the laser is passed, the patient feels like a rubber band and hears a loud popping sound with each shot. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. The duration of each session depends on the extent of the tattoo and the depth of it (from a few minutes to sometimes 30 minutes)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. At the end of the session, the tattoo shows a transient whitening. Sometimes small spots (redness) and\/or bleeding spots and edema (swelling) may appear a few minutes after treatment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. A healing cream is then applied and a bandage is applied to the entire treated area to be kept for 48 hours. The tattoo should then be left in the open air, unless the patient is exposed to the sun. The scar must remain protected from UV rays until it heals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. It is necessary to protect the treated area from the sun, one month after the session.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
