Tattoo removal via laser in Paris 7^e

The time it takes to remove a tattoo with a laser depends on a number of parameters, but also on the laser used.

• Laser Q-Switched: the average treatment time for a professional tattoo is two years. Blue, green, turquoise, yellow or white tattoos are not removed with this machine, nor are very dense tattoos.
• Picosure Laser: treatment time averages 6 months for a professional tattoo. Only the Picosure laser can remove blue, green, turquoise, yellow or white tattoos, as well as most very dense tattoos.
  
  

The consultation required with Dr Molinari before any laser session will allow him to assess the number of sessions required after clinical examination of the area to be detattooed.

Depending on the size of the tattoo, the session lasts from a few seconds to around twenty minutes. Laser tattoo removal can be painful, whether performed with the Q-Switched laser or the Picosure laser. The use of an anesthetic cream is recommended.

In the days that follow, daily dressings are required on the newly untattooed areas for an average of two weeks.

• • Risk of white scars (phantom tattooing),
  • Risk of treatment failure: pigmented areas may persist after each session.

   

  It should be noted that these side effects are generally less frequent with the Picosure laser, which offers greater safety.

  Regardless of the type of the chosen laser, it is usually very difficult to predict in advance the number of sessions required (i.e. the time it will take and the overall cost), as well as the quality of the result.

  The picosure laser, however, is faster and less tedious.

Laser tattoo removal is a safe and relatively effective treatment today with the arrival of Picolaser from Cynosure.
