In this video our laser tech expert Elise from Aesthetic Skin Chicago will introduce us to tattoo removal, providing a guidance on what to expect before a session. Avoid sun exposure and shave the tattoo area three days prior to prevent complications. Tattoo removal can be painful, but medical-grade numbing cream and nitrous oxide are available for pain relief. The number of sessions depends on the ink’s quality and age, with different wavelengths used for various colors. Contact us for more info or to book a free consultation with our expert today!

Elise:
Some people are curious what to expect before your tattoo removal session.
Well, first off, I wanna make sure you’re avoiding any sun exposure. Also, if I’m treating a tattoo that has some hair on it, please shave at least three days prior to prevent any complications.
Tattoo removal isn’t completely painless, but we do have things in the office like, uh, medical grade numbing cream, or nitrous that can help relieve that pain.
A lot of patients ask me how many sessions. I don’t like to give an exact answer because it depends on the quality of the ink and how old the tattoo is. Sometimes different colors are harder to pull compared to a black ink, depending the color of the ink. We use different wavelengths.
Our Pico here, we have 10 64 and 5 32. The 10 64 is going to attack the browns and black ink and the five 30 twos and attacks some colors like pink, green, blue.
