What is Laser Tattoo Removal?

Laser tattoo removal is a treatment designed to remove tattoos, completely, from the skin. We use a laser to help break up the ink particles so that your body can naturally dispose of the ink and regrow fresh, rejuvenated skin.

A specific wavelength of laser energy is directed at the pigment in the tattoo, which absorbs the energy and then breaks into smaller pieces, treatment by treatment, until the particles are small enough for the body to break them down and remove them naturally with the lymphatic system. 

How Many Sessions Until My Tattoo is Completely Removed?

The number of treatments required for optimal results depends on several factors, including the size, location, depth, age, color, and amount of ink used in the tattoo, as well as the method of tattoo application. Generally, professional tattoos require between 6-12 treatments, or more if the tattoo is newer or more complex. If you're seeking laser tattoo removal in Kern, our experts will create a personalized plan tailored to your unique tattoo.

Your treatments will typically be spaced six to eight weeks apart to allow your skin ample time to heal and process the treatment effectively. Each session is relatively short, usually lasting between 10-20 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. During this time, our team will monitor your progress and adjust the treatment plan as necessary to achieve the best possible results.

What Should I Expect During my Laser Tattoo Removal?

We will begin with a consultation to answer any questions you may have, ensuring you feel comfortable and prepared for laser tattoo removal in Bakersfield. This allows you to know exactly what to expect and helps you feel confident about the process.

Before starting the treatment, we apply a numbing cream to the area to make sure the procedure is as comfortable as possible. We also provide protective glasses to shield your eyes from the laser. Once prepared, the laser is applied directly to the tattooed area. The laser targets the ink below the surface of the skin, breaking it down into smaller particles without damaging the skin.

Once the ink is broken down, your body’s natural disposal system processes and flushes the particles away. Over time, this results in clearer skin and the gradual fading of the tattoo.

Recovery After Laser Tattoo Removal Bakersfield & Kern

Your treatment may include some discomfort depending on the size of the tattoo and what part of the body the tattoo is on, but patients generally report they are tolerable. The numbing cream helps to ease discomfort as well. 

There is no downtime after your treatments. You can return to your usual activities or work right away. However, your skin may feel sunburned for several days after your laser tattoo removal treatment. Expect redness, tenderness, and swelling, which typically subside within a day or two. Blisters, bruising, and scabs may also appear within 24 hours of treatment. These may take a week or more to heal.

You can use ice packs wrapped in cloth and apply aloe vera to the skin to help ease discomfort and side effects as your skin heals from the treatment. During this time period, avoid hot showers, baths, saunas, and hot tubs.

After three days, you may begin using unscented lotion on the treated area. Apply this daily, as frequently as you like, for a week. In addition to helping your skin heal, the lotion will help prevent you from scratching itchy skin, which can irritate it.

Aftercare Tips

  • Don’t expose the treated area to the sun.
  • If crusting is evident, avoid shaving.
  • Avoid scratching or rubbing. 
  • Avoid immersing in water.
  • If irritation occurs, apply a thin layer of Aquaphor.

Will tattoo removal leave a scar?

Done correctly and followed up with proper aftercare, there should be no scarring on the skin where the tattoo was removed.

Can you revise a tattoo instead of removing it completely?

Yes. We can remove or fade part of the tattoo if you would like to have it revised or given a cover-up later by your tattoo artist. We can also revise your tattoo by selectively removing only a part of a larger piece, such as a name you no longer want in a tattoo that includes art you want to keep.

Will my cover-up tattoo take longer to erase?

Yes. Because of the amount of ink applied with the double tattoo, the length of time required to break it up and dissolve it is longer.

If I got a tattoo done outside of a professional shop, will that affect my treatment time?

Professionally-done tattoos generally take longer to erase, as the equipment used was usually more advanced.

Is older or newer ink easier to remove?

Old ink is easier to get rid of. Newer tattoos might need more sessions.

Is a red, yellow, or green color harder to remove?

Yes, these colors are generally more difficult to remove and require more treatments, and might not fully dissolve.

Can I get another tattoo on the area that the old one was removed from?

Yes, but the area must be fully healed. Eight weeks is usually the minimum time you should wait before getting a new tattoo.
