The Cost of Tattoo Removal

Tattoo Removal Cost is a concern for many individuals looking to remove their unwanted tattoos.  If you are bored of the tattoo that you have been displaying for quite a long time, or you want to change that conventional drawing to one trendy Chinese character tattoo or you want to totally remedy yourself from the tattoos on your body, then you will have to find a way to remove the current one. While taking the decision to choose the particular option, tattoo removal cost is going to play the big role. If you want to remove your tattoo completely, then having your tattoo on is actually cheaper than the cost of tattoo removal. Laser is the most effective way to actually make your tattoo completely fade away but it is also the most expensive too.

If you would want to have your tattoo completely fade away then you must resort to the pricy laser treatment. However, to lessen the cost of the laser treatment, there is another treatment you can try. Tattoos are pigments that are injected under the skin. So basically, if we succeed to remove the skin layers that contain the pigments we would be apt to remove the tattoo to an extent or just make it lighter. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) can help you to peel off some of the upper layers of the skin, which contain these pigments and so your tattoo will be hazy and relatively obscure. With such peeling agents, you would surely spend much less amount than you could have in laser treatment.

You might marvel “why is the Tattoo Removal Cost by laser so high?” Laser treatment is costly because it is a novel technique that costs the clinics more to acquire than the other conventional techniques. Moreover, it is a very advanced and absolutely safe treatment. The laser light breaks down the pigments into small parts so as to facilitate it for the body cleaning mechanism. When new skin layers grow, the tattoo will absolutely fade away.

However, if you are not willing to spend money on laser tattoo removal then you can always resort to other ways like TCA, or some tattoo removal creams. TCA is effective and is mostly safe, although not as safe as laser. The major drawback of TCA is that it does not remove the tattoo 100%. You have to use TCA for over 7 months to get a satisfactory result, as opposed to 2-3 weeks with laser. The creams can provide the fading solutions and their safeness is not proven although the Tattoo Removal Cost is much lower.

Tattoo and Pigmentation Removal with the Alex TriVantage

The Alex TriVantage laser by Candela is the fastest and most powerful laser to date for tattoo and pigmentation removal. This technologically advanced laser combines the uniqueness of a Q switched laser with laser pump laser technology giving it the ability to be able to treat a variety of colors for both tattoos as well as pigmented spots. The Q switched Alexandrite laser utilizes a 755nm wavelength of light to successfully treat the blue, black and green inks of tattoos. In addition The Alex TriVantage also incorporates a 1064 nm and a 532nm that are pumped with flash lamps, creating the Laser pump laser effect and thereby giving it the name TriVantage.

The original AlexLAZR by Candela was considered the industry standard for removing green, blue and black inks. Unfortunately there was insufficient absorption at this wavelength for the removal of other colors, specifically for red tattoos. With the development of the laser pump laser, the 532nm wavelength has to ability to effectively remove these reds along with brown inks. Additionally the 1064nm, the 3rd added wavelength to the AlexTriVantage has the ability to enhance tattoo removal on darker skin types especially when treating the blue and black inks.

A Benefit of using the Alex TriVantage is its unique pulse duration. This laser provides a slightly longer pulse duration than the other Q switch lasers. The longer pulse duration proves it is gentler on the skin, creating less side effects of divots under the skin of the tattoo ink or pigmented lesions. Another benefit with the AlexTriVantage laser is its limited disposables. The treatments do not require cryogen as with some of their other products and spot size skin guards are reusable, keeping ancillary costs low.

Because pigments from tattoos are sometimes deep within the skin, it will often take several treatments before a tattoo can be removed completely. The type of ink, length of time the tattoo has been in the skin and the wavelength of light used will determine how effectively the removal will be. Tattoo removal works by targeting the ink with pulses of highly concentrated laser light. The wavelength of light breaks up the ink, initiating the immune response from the body to then absorb the ink. Typical side effects and possible complications that can occur from laser tattoo removal can include scarring or changes in skin texture, temporary discoloration or redness around the treatment site, scabbing, blisters and possible infection. Additional side effects could include temporary lightening or darkening of the skin at the site of the tattoo.

Frequently treatments require a topical numbing medication to be applied prior to treatment along with a cooling method during the actual procedure to increase client comfort. Many clients report sessions feel like a hot snapping on their skin. The size of the tattoo and type of ink used may assist in determining the number of sessions that will be required. The number of treatments typically will range from 4-15 at 8 week intervals.
