the Price of Tattoo Removal

I had a small flower tattoo removed off of my ankle recently. I had 3 sessions of removal to get it all taken off, and paid roughly about $500. That was a good deal too. Usually prices vary from $250 a session and up. It all depends on how big the tattoo is, and how dark it is. I had laser tattoo removal which is one of the best ways to effectively remove one. It's done by aiming a laser at part of the tattoo and it targets the clusters of ink. The laser aims highly concentrated light beams at the ink and breaks it down into tiny bits. At this point your body flushes the ink particles away over time as your immune system kicks in. The treatment was painful but not unbearable. If you have an unwanted tattoo then you will do pretty much anything to get rid of it. The laser feels like someone is dripping hot oil or grease on your skin. Like when you are making bacon and sometimes the grease pops out of the pan and onto your arm. I only did a few treatments because my tattoo was small and was already faded and old. If I had done more I might have scarred a little since my skin is so sensitive. This is usually not the case I was told since our technology has been advancing to overcome aftereffects like that.

I think that the service I paid for was a good decision. It really wasn't that expensive and I bet I would have paid more. I didn't hate my tattoo but I really didn't like it anymore, and I wanted to put something better in its place. The staff were very nice and comforting. i was a little scared because I knew it was painful and who really wants to go through that? There was a medical doctor on staff who oversaw the procedure to make sure everything went smoothly. He was also very nice and comforting. he explained everything to me before they started so I wouldn't be confused. Once they started they would stop occasionally and ask if I was alright. When the procedure was finished they bandaged me up and took the time to explain to me how to take care of it. I asked a few questions about the possibility of scarring or blistering and they helped me understand the risks of tattoo removal and that there's no real way of determining whether or not someone will scar or blister. I have sensitive skin so I was worried about it. They even called me 3 weeks later to follow up and see if I needed another treatment.

If you have a tattoo that you don't want anymore I suggest researching all possible removal methods. People are manufacturing balms and other things that you are supposed to rub on the tattooed skin. I haven't tried any of these and honestly don't think they would work. If you look at the "anatomy" of a tattoo, the ink is under layers of skin so an external balm or cream isn't going to seep in deep enough to do any good. But then again I haven't tried it. I suggest laser removal. It's relatively cheap and the results are worth it. My skin feels like nothing was ever there. I'm planning my new tattoo that is going where it was and couldn't be more pleased. I suggest that when you get a tattoo think long and hard about if it is really what you want, and where you want it. Also, if you are unsure try to get something light in color so if you do decide to remove it, it will be easier to deal with later on. Take good care of your tattoo. If your tattoo is scarred up because you didn't take care of it while it was healing then it will be harder to remove later.
