Tattoos are an amazing way to express yourself by wearing art directly on your skin. However, sometimes you decide a tattoo is no longer for you. Perhaps you’re making room for a new tattoo, simply have grown out of it, or maybe it didn’t come out the way you were hoping it would. Whatever the reason, laser tattoo removal is a great option for freeing up your beautiful skin canvas. That being said, there are some laser tattoo removal misconceptions that we’d like to clear up. Let’s explore some common laser tattoo removal myths and debunk them once and for all.

Laser Tattoo Removal Myths

Home Remedies Are Just as Good

There are many creams or home remedies that are marketed to help a tattoo fade or remove them. These creams, lotions, dermabrasion kits, and more are simply not backed by solid evidence and are highly unlikely to produce any significant results. Laser tattoo removal is the only safe and effective tattoo removal option.

It Only Takes One Session

Laser tattoo removal is very rarely a single-session procedure. This is because it takes time to properly break down the tattoo pigments. Your body naturally will metabolize the broken-down pigment and will need time to recover between sessions. The only way laser tattoo removal would only take one session is if the tattoo was very small and very faded.

Results Are Immediate

While you will see some immediate results with laser tattoo removal, the full results take time. Laser tattoo removal requires multiple sessions, and time has to be given so the body can remove the broken-down pigment. Tattoos only stay on the skin because the pigment is too large for the skin to break down. Laser tattoo removal breaks down the pigments to a small enough point for the body to properly get rid of it.
