FAQs
-
FOR COMPLETE REMOVAL, MOST PEOPLE WILL NEED BETWEEN 5 TO 10 TREATMENTS. FOR FADING OR LIGHTENING TO PREPARE FOR A COVER-UP, YOU MAY ONLY NEED 2 TO 4 TREATMENTS. SINCE EVERY TATTOO IS DIFFERENT, THE NUMBER OF TREATMENTS NEEDED IS UNIQUE FOR EVERYONE AND DEPENDS ON A VARIETY OF FACTORS, INCLUDING:
TATTOO AGE
TATTOO LOCATION
TATTOO COLORS
SKIN TYPE
INK DENSITY
TYPE OF TATTOO (AMATEUR VS. PROFESSIONAL)
PRE-EXISTING SCARRING
PERSONAL HEALTH
-
FINAL RESULTS CAN BE CALCULATED BY ADDING THE NUMBER OF TREATMENTS NEEDED PLUS THE 6-WEEK HEALING PERIOD NEEDED BETWEEN TREATMENTS. MOST CUSTOMERS WILL SEE SIGNIFICANT FADING WITHIN THEIR FIRST FEW TREATMENTS.
REMEMBER, LASER TATTOO REMOVAL ACTS AS AN ASSISTANT TO YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM BY BREAKING UP THE INK IN YOUR SKIN TO MAKE THE NATURAL REMOVAL PROCESS EASIER FOR YOUR BODY TO CARRY OUT. THEREFORE, PEOPLE WITH HEALTHIER IMMUNE SYSTEMS USUALLY REQUIRE FEWER TREATMENTS.

AS LONG AS PROPER AFTERCARE IS APPLIED, YOU SHOULDN’T EXPERIENCE ANY SEVERE SIDE EFFECTS. LASER TATTOO REMOVAL IS THE SAFEST METHOD FOR REMOVING AND TREATING UNWANTED INK. OUR ASTANZA DUALITY SAFELY PENETRATES THROUGH THE EPIDERMIS AND TARGETS ONLY THE INK PARTICLES IN THE DERMIS LAYER WHILE LEAVING THE SURROUNDING SKIN TISSUE UNHARMED. OUR RICHMOND PRACTICE USES FDA-APPROVED TECHNOLOGY AND CUSTOM LASER PROTOCOLS TO ENSURE THE SAFEST TREATMENTS.
THE ONLY SIDE EFFECTS YOU MAY EXPERIENCE ARE TEMPORARY REDNESS, ITCHINESS, SCABBING, BLISTERING, SWELLING, HYPERPIGMENTATION, OR HYPOPIGMENTATION. AGAIN, THESE SIDE EFFECTS ARE TEMPORARY AND INDICATE THAT YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM IS WORKING TO REMOVE THE SHATTERED INK FROM YOUR SKIN. WITH PROPER AFTERCARE, THESE SIDE EFFECTS WILL HEAL OVER THE WEEKS FOLLOWING EACH LASER SESSION.

DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF YOUR TATTOO, TREATMENTS LAST ANYWHERE FROM A FEW SECONDS TO 15 MINUTES. REGRETFUL HEART OFFERS SKIN NUMBING SOLUTIONS TO HELP ALLEVIATE YOUR SKIN AND PROVIDE MAXIMUM COMFORT.
