ADVANCED LASER TATTOO REMOVAL IN TAMPA

At Skintellect Laser & Aesthetics, we offer safe and effective laser tattoo removal treatments suitable for all skin tones, whether you want to lighten a tattoo for a cover-up or completely remove your ink. Our services extend to those with microblading, permanent makeup, and colorful body art. With our advanced  Fotona Starwalker FracTat™ we create micro-sized channels in the skin over the tattoo area before the main laser procedure. This innovative pre-treatment, known as “priming,” allows steam, gases, and ink particles to escape more easily during the subsequent full-beam Q-switched pass, preventing the ‘frosting’ effect that can lead to scarring. Additionally, this method significantly reduces the waiting time between treatment passes, potentially cutting the number of sessions needed by up to 50%.

"FEWER TREATMENTS, FASTER RESULTS,
LESS SCARRING, ALL IN ONE TECHNOLOGY."

THE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

Laser tattoo removal is an advanced treatment that effectively fades and eliminates unwanted ink from your skin. The process begins with the creation of controlled microchannels throughout the tattooed area. This innovative technique enhances the escape of gases and debris, promotes a faster healing process, and allows for multiple laser passes during a single session, ultimately reducing the total number of treatments required.

In the next step, our state-of-the-art laser emits very short and powerful pulses that penetrate deep into the skin without damaging the top layers. These laser pulses are absorbed by the tattoo ink pigments, converting the light energy into photoacoustic waves. This transformation mechanically breaks down the ink into smaller particles, which are then naturally eliminated by the body’s immune system.

The number of laser tattoo removal sessions needed varies based on several factors, including the size, location, depth, and color of the tattoo. Generally, amateur tattoos are easier to remove than professional ones, which may require additional treatments. As your body processes and removes the ink particles, you will notice gradual fading of the tattoo between sessions.

Our FracTat advanced laser tattoo removal technology offers numerous advantages that set it apart from traditional methods:

  1. Stimulates Collagen Production: FracTat technology stimulates the production of new collagen and enhances elasticity in the treated area. This reduces the risk of scarring during the tattoo removal process and can even improve the appearance of existing scars caused by the tattoo itself. This is one of the main reasons many patients prefer this innovative removal method.

  2. Multiple Treatment Passes: With FracTat, we can perform multiple passes (2-4 passes) during each session, compared to the typical single pass used in other technologies. This significantly enhances the effectiveness of the treatment, leading to better results.

  3. Fewer Sessions Needed: Because we can achieve optimal results with multiple passes in each session, you will require fewer treatments overall. This not only saves you money but also reduces discomfort, healing time, and recovery periods.

It’s important to note that the total number of treatments needed varies from patient to patient, depending on factors such as tattoo size, color, location, and depth. While multiple sessions are typically required for optimal results, our expert team will work closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that meets your needs.

No, laser tattoo removal does not typically leave scars, especially when using our unique FracTat Laser technology! This advanced method stimulates the production of new collagen and enhances elasticity in the treated area, significantly reducing the risk of scarring during the tattoo removal process.

In addition to minimizing scarring, FracTat technology can also improve the appearance of any existing scars caused by the trauma of the tattoo itself. This remarkable benefit is one of the top reasons why most patients now prefer this innovative removal method.

At Skintellect Laser & Aesthetics, our commitment to safety and effectiveness ensures you can achieve beautiful, clear skin without the worry of scars!

The number of laser tattoo removal sessions required for optimal results varies based on several factors:

  • Size of the Tattoo: Larger tattoos generally require more sessions than smaller ones.

  • Location of the Tattoo: Areas with better circulation, such as the upper body, tend to respond more quickly to treatment. This improved circulation allows the lymphatic system to reabsorb broken ink particles more efficiently.

  • Depth and Quality of the Tattoo: Amateur tattoos are usually easier to remove, while professionally done tattoos may require additional treatments to achieve the desired results. The skill of the artist plays a significant role in how many sessions will be necessary.

  • Color of the Tattoo: Some colors fade more readily than others. Green is the hardest color to remove, followed closely by light blue. Neon colors and certain vibrant hues also present challenges and may require more sessions. As a general rule, greater contrast between the tattoo pigment and your skin tone leads to better results.

Typically, treatments should be spaced 6 to 12 weeks apart to allow your body sufficient time to eliminate the maximum amount of tattoo pigment after each session. For permanent makeup removal, you may need 2 or more sessions, spaced at least 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results.

Each session usually lasts between 10 to 30 minutes, and you may continue to see gradual lightening of your tattoo as your body processes the pigment. Most patients experience noticeable improvements, with results that can be quite dramatic!

To ensure the best results from your laser tattoo removal treatment, please follow these preparation guidelines unless directed otherwise by your laser technician:

  1. Wear Sunscreen and Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin by wearing sunscreen and limiting sun exposure in the weeks leading up to your treatment.

  2. Avoid Pretreatment Hair Removal: Refrain from shaving, waxing, or exfoliating the tattooed area before your session to prevent skin irritation.

  3. Skip Tanning and Spray Tans: Avoid tanning beds and spray tans for several weeks prior to your procedure, as these can affect the effectiveness of the treatment.

  4. Stop Smoking: Cease smoking at least six weeks before treatment to promote better healing and recovery.

  5. Avoid Certain Medications: Steer clear of aspirin, specific anti-inflammatory medications, and some herbal supplements that may increase bleeding.

  6. Stay Hydrated: Proper hydration is essential for safe recovery. Drink plenty of water before and after your treatment.

By following these preparation steps, you can help ensure a safe and effective laser tattoo removal experience at Skintellect Laser & Aesthetics. If you have any questions or concerns, our skilled technicians are here to assist you!

Following your consultation, if we determine that you are a suitable candidate for laser tattoo removal, we will proceed with the treatment. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

  1. Initial Assessment: Your laser technician will start by asking pertinent questions about your recent health history to ensure there are no contraindications for the treatment. This is also the time for you to discuss your treatment goals and specify which tattoos you would like to target.

  2. Preparation: The treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed and prepared. Your technician will explain each step of the process, ensuring you know what to expect and minimizing any surprises.

  3. Protective Eyewear: You will be required to wear protective eyewear throughout the procedure. While you may see flashes of light, your eyes will be completely covered to ensure safety. Our technicians will also wear protective eyewear during the treatment.

  4. Duration and Discomfort: Laser tattoo removal sessions can take as little as 15 minutes, depending on the size of your tattoo and the type of ink used. Most patients describe the discomfort during the procedure as similar to the sensation felt when they initially got the tattoo.

  5. Post-Treatment Response: After the treatment, you may experience mild discomfort, redness, swelling, and tenderness in the treated area. These effects are generally temporary and resolve quickly. The response can vary from patient to patient based on the extent of the treatment.

At Skintellect Laser & Aesthetics, we are committed to providing a comfortable and effective laser tattoo removal experience. If you have any questions or concerns before or during your treatment, don’t hesitate to ask our expert team!

PERMANENT MAKEUP REMOVAL TAMPA

Permanent makeup is popular for a hassle-free beauty routine, especially tattooed eyebrows that provide well-defined, thick brows without cosmetics. However, results may not always meet expectations, leading to the need for pigment removal.

Our Solution: We utilize specialized FracTat laser technology for precise and effective removal of unwanted permanent makeup. Whether you’re dealing with outdated eyebrow shapes or faded ink, our advanced laser targets pigment particles, breaking them into smaller fragments for your body to eliminate naturally. This process gradually fades the tattoo, restoring your natural look with minimal discomfort and no lengthy downtime.

Yes, laser permanent makeup removal is safe for all skin types. At Skintellect Laser & Aesthetics, we customize our treatments to fit your specific case, skin type, and individual needs, ensuring both safe and effective results.

Safety Highlights:

  • Personalized Treatment: Our qualified technicians assess your unique situation, tailoring the laser parameters for optimal safety and effectiveness.

Eyebrow tattoo removal can cause some discomfort, but the level of pain varies based on your individual pain tolerance and the specific method used for removal.

What to Expect:

  • Discomfort Level: Most clients report a mild sensation during the procedure, similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin.
  • Numbing Agents: We use powerful numbing agents to minimize discomfort, ensuring you feel as comfortable as possible throughout the process.
  • Advanced Technology: Our Advanced Technology incorporates both Nano and Pico wavelengths, allowing for fast energy input and reducing pain during each session.

Your comfort is a priority for us at Skintellect Laser & Aesthetics, and we strive to make the eyebrow tattoo removal experience as pleasant as possible!

While results can be noticeable after the first session, the total number of sessions required to remove an eyebrow tattoo varies based on several factors:

  • Tattoo Size and Color: Larger or darker tattoos may require more sessions for complete removal.
  • Technique Used: The method your tattoo artist used can influence how the pigment responds to treatment.
  • Skin Type: Individual skin characteristics may affect the healing process and ink breakdown.

Typical Range: On average, it takes around 3 sessions to achieve optimal results, but this can vary from patient to patient. Our qualified technicians will assess your specific situation and provide a personalized treatment plan to ensure the best outcome.

Lasers interact differently with various pigment colors, meaning some shades are more effectively treated than others. Here are key points to consider:

  • Color Efficacy: Certain colors respond better to laser removal, which may necessitate more sessions for those that are more stubborn.
  • Mixed Colors: Tattoo artists often blend multiple colors to achieve the desired shade. As some colors break down, other hues may become visible during the removal process. That is why when someone is still undergoing treatment, you make see some red or brown ink. This is a normal part of the treatment.

For the best results, it’s essential to consult with one of our qualified providers. They will help determine the most effective treatment plan tailored to your specific tattoo and skin type, ensuring the best possible outcome.

Rest assured, there is no risk of permanent hair removal following laser permanent makeup removal. While you might notice that the hair in your eyebrow area appears lighter or has a glowing effect temporarily, this is not permanent.

Our Advanced FracTat Laser is designed to ensure the safety of your natural brows, allowing for stimulation of hair growth throughout the treatment process.

The laser permanent makeup removal procedure takes only 5-15 minutes to complete, allowing you to return to your daily routine immediately afterward.

Post-treatment, you may experience some swelling, small bruises, and a thin crust covering the eyebrows. It’s crucial to allow this crust to heal and disappear naturally, as interfering with the healing process can increase the risk of side effects.
