Best Option for Tattoo Removal on Long Island is Laser Treatment

Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics explains why the best option for tattoo removal is laser treatment.

When Long Islanders decide they want to remove a tattoo, they face an important decision. Many of them may regret the decision to get a tattoo in the first place, or perhaps their choice of a particular tattoo. Some may be very happy with some of their tattoos, but dislike the design, durability, or location of others on their body.

When thinking about tattoo removal, you would do well to consider laser tattoo removal. Magical creams are heavily advertised online and on the radio, but they are little more than gimmicks that will leave you with sore skin, an empty wallet, and your original tattoo six months down the road. Laser tattoo removal is an elective cosmetic procedure that will gently remove your tattoo with an FDA-approved professional grade laser. Tattoo removal lasers work by breaking up the ink in a tattoo, enabling the body to flush the ink away in the days and weeks after the treatment.

1) Tattoo removal lasers are very effective at breaking down the ink in an unwanted tattoo. Generally, two wavelengths of light are used to break down a wide spectrum of tattoo ink. The 1064nm wavelength is used for darker colors – black, dark blue, brown, purple, and similar colors. The 532nm wavelength is used for red, orange, green, yellow, and other lighter colors. The most difficult colors to remove are light green and blue-green/teal/turquoise. Perfect Body Laser in Bay Shore, Long Island, NY utilizes the new Cynosure RevLite-SI tattoo removal platform, which is the best laser for removing unwanted tattoos.

2) Top tattoo removal Clinics will be able to remove a tattoo with minor or no side effects. The most common side effects, when a modern tattoo removal laser is used (such as Cynosure Rev-Lite SI) include redness and swelling. These side effects are part of the normal healing process, and often mimic the same characteristics of getting the actual tattoo. After the Laser treatment, the body is responding to the laser treatment by activating tools that will flush away the ink that has been broken down. There is almost no risk of scarring when the clinic uses a late-model laser – be aware of old equipment that looks like it came from the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s or even 2000s. Technology advances very quickly and Perfect Body Laser feels that using the latest technology (less than 2 years old) is critical to great tattoo removal results. You want a Laser facility with at least 5 years’ experience in the laser tattoo removal business.

3) Alternative medical or surgical treatments involve long-term side effects that are unnecessary. Prior methods of removing tattoo, including dermabrasion, cryosurgery, and excision used to be the only method of removing a tattoo. Cryosurgery involved freezing the skin then peeling away layers to eliminate the tattoo. Excision was another surgical procedure that cut out the skin containing the tattoo and either sewing the skin together or grafting skin to cover the area. Dermabrasion is still used to remove a tattoo, but the effects on the skin (significant abrasion of the skin, scarring) in addition to the ineffectiveness, and excruciating pain in removing tattoos completely make it an undesirable choice.

4) Non-medical “creams” don’t work. Unsavory marketers push mysterious “tattoo removal creams” that claim to make your tattoo vanish. How this actually works is unclear and an examination of the components of these products leads to a lot of questions on how they could possibly remove tattoo pigment. Many have tried these creams, and after wasting several hundred dollars, have come to Perfect Body Laser for a treatment that’s been proven and has real science behind it.

5) The price of laser tattoo removal is now quite reasonable.  Perfect Body Laser and Aesthetics offers reasonable rates for their laser tattoo removal services that are affordable on almost any budget. The cost of each session depends on the size of the tattoo, but the average session typically only takes about 15 minutes.
