Therefore, tattoo removal involves likewise changing skin pigment, back to our original skin color. Focused laser bursts used in tattoo removal break up skin pigment clusters deep within the skin. As time goes by, the tattoo pigments are absorbed, processed, and disposed naturally by the body. After a recovery period, your skin should return to your normal, untattooed skin pigment. Depending upon the tattoo in consideration, you may need a number of treatments before the tattoo is totally removed.

Unfortunately, this laser tattoo removal treatment can sometime be a slightly painful process. Most tattoo removal experts will administer a local anesthetic, either by cream or ointment or by the use of a small injection. While injections are great for removing pain, they can affect the quality of the tattoo removal, which in turn may result in further treatments. Ointments or creams should be able to remove sensation in the area for up to ninety minutes (longer than the normal removal session). After the ointment wears off, some patients may follow up with some over the counter pain relievers, or depending upon the pain, some light pain relief prescriptions.

They should be able to give you an idea of how long the process will take, how many sessions will be necessary, and how extensive the treatment will be. They will also be able to tell you what pain relief options will be available to you. There's no reason to go another day living in the past because of fear of pain, since tattoo removal can ease all your pains and worries.
