✔№2 There are temporary contraindications to the procedure, for example pregnancy and lactation, active sunbathing two weeks before the procedure. However, there are serious limitations: the presence of cancer, the tendency of the skin to form keloid scars and an individual reaction to laser beams. In all other cases, the procedure can be safely carried out.
✔№3 The removal efficiency is directly dependent on the color of the pigment, which was used when applying the pattern. Black and red are removed without any problems. Worse things are yellow, green and beige. It will take much skill to make such a drawing possible to a pale translucent state. Most often, these tattoos are removed for subsequent overlap. But even for such a result it's necessary to be able to work with different wavelengths, and each of them has its own specifics. So basic knowledge here is indispensable.
✔№4 Science is moving forward, and so is technology! Modern lasers with a good specialist's hand do not hurt the skin, do not leave scars and other similar horrors. But since everyone has a different pain issues, the doctors use anesthetics when they are removing. So it won't hurt exactly.
✔№5 The laser is a very fast device that emits several flashes per second (depends on the settings), so procedure time depends on the area of the pigment. The session can last a few minutes or may take about an hour. Each case is individual. The number of necessary sessions and a break between them is determined only by the doctor, based on the collected anamnesis and the body's reaction to the procedures.
✔№6 Yes, the patient will need to follow several rules. But they will not limit the way of life in any way! In the first two weeks there should be no sunbathes, scrubs and other dermis-damaging agents. Some sedatives creams could be needed.
There are the main myths that I heard when having patients for about 10 years. Unfortunately, the activity of these prejudices is not very much reduced, even if the information is stored on the web. But some shifts in more conscious behavior are already observed. Let's help to survive all these pseudoscientific things that are unnecessary in the modern world!
