Tattoos are meaningful expressions for many of us, but if you’re rethinking your ink, you’re not alone. Lifestyle changes or less-than-perfect artwork can make you want to explore removal options. Luckily, laser technology makes it possible to safely remove tattoos.
Our dermatology experts at Skin & Beauty Center use the Alex TriVantage laser to help patients erase unwanted ink. We have offices in Burbank, Northridge, Glendale, West Hills, Santa Clarita, Verdugo Hills, and Pasadena.
How the Alex TriVantage Laser Works
Alex TriVantage is a powerful laser technology that uses multiple wavelengths to target different tattoo ink colors. The laser energy breaks down tattoo pigments into tiny particles, which the body then naturally clears away.
By adjusting to the specific ink colors in your tattoo, Alex TriVantage can remove a wide range of hues. That includes green and blue shades, which can be more challenging to remove.
The laser treatment is non-invasive and focuses only on the tattoo ink, not touching the surrounding skin. This precision helps minimize skin irritation and gives a better end result.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Most people tolerate tattoo removal with Alex TriVantage very well. You should only feel a mild snapping sensation as the laser targets the ink, but we can use numbing creams to make the process more comfortable for you.
Since tattoo removal is a gradual process, you’ll likely need multiple sessions to see the full results, with each session scheduled a few weeks apart. Your specific number of sessions depends on your tattoo’s size, age, and colors, and your skin type. Expect to have five to 10 total sessions.
After each session, your skin may feel slightly tender or look pink, like a sunburn. There’s minimal downtime, and you can get back to your day afterward.
