Over the years, tattoos<\/strong> have become increasingly popular. Whether you’ve thought about it for a long time or done it on the spur of the moment, sometimes you regret<\/strong> your decision. <\/p>\n

At CtrlZ, we offer you the chance to undo your mistakes with laser tattoo removal. In this guide, you’ll find out everything you need to know about this technique<\/strong> that will allow you to wipe the slate clean<\/strong>! <\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

CtrlZ tattoo removal centers use Q-switched<\/strong> lasers<\/strong>. These lasers emit ultra-short, high-energy pulses of light, creating a shock wave across your tattoo. The pigments are then broken down into tiny particles that are digested by your immune system<\/strong> cells and eliminated naturally by your body. <\/p>\n

The laser light is absorbed specifically by the ink in your tattoo, so it precisely targets the area to be treated, without damaging<\/strong> surrounding tissue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Why choose CtrlZ for your laser tattoo removal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At CtrlZ centers, laser-trained doctors<\/strong> and nurses<\/strong> accompany you throughout your treatment protocol.<\/p>\n

Unique to CtrlZ<\/strong>, a medical assessment<\/strong> of your file is systematically carried out during the information consultation<\/strong> and, if necessary, before each<\/strong> treatment session<\/strong>, to eliminate any potential contraindications to laser tattoo removal.<\/p>\n

How many sessions does it take to see results?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The result and the exact number of sessions are unpredictable <\/strong>at the outset.<\/p>\n

Each tattoo is unique<\/strong> and effectiveness varies according to several factors:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Tattoo color <\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Tattoo density <\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Ink depth<\/strong> and quality<\/strong> <\/li>\n
  • Inter-individual variability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    On average, 8 to 12 sessions<\/strong> are required for total fading. Each session is spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart to allow your skin to heal and your body to gradually eliminate the pigments. <\/p>\n

    Is it painful?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The pain described by patients who have undergone laser tattoo removal treatment is that of a tingling sensation<\/strong> similar to a rubber band<\/strong> snapping hard against the skin.<\/p>\n

    To reduce the discomfort associated with tattoo removal, we recommend you apply a thick layer of anaesthetic cream at least 2 hours before each session. <\/strong>The prescription will be given to you by our doctors.<\/p>\n

    What are the side effects of laser tattoo removal?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    After a laser tattoo removal session, you may experience various types ofside effects <\/strong>(listed below). These reactions are not serious<\/strong> and usually regress spontaneously<\/strong> within a month of your session. <\/p>\n

      \n
    • A sensation of heat<\/strong> and sensitivity<\/strong> in the treated area.<\/li>\n
    • Pruritus<\/strong>(itching<\/strong>) of the treated area.<\/li>\n
    • Erythema<\/strong>(diffuse redness<\/strong>) of the treated area.<\/li>\n
    • Edema (swelling)<\/strong> of the treated area.<\/li>\n
    • Phlyctenes<\/strong>(blisters<\/strong>).<\/li>\n
    • Scabs<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    • Bruises<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    • Purpura<\/strong>(small red spots<\/strong>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      How to promote healing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      After each laser tattoo removal session, it is essential to scrupulously follow the recommendations in the post-treatment sheet<\/strong> issued by CtrlZ<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Apply a healing cream to the treated area. <\/strong>This will be provided by the nurse after your first session.<\/li>\n
      • Avoid applying irritating products<\/li>\n
      • Avoidexposure to the sun<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      • Avoid swimming (baths, sea, pool).<\/li>\n
      • Avoid saunas, steam baths and spas<\/li>\n
      • Wear loose-fitting natural clothing<\/strong> to protect the treated area and minimize the risk of side effects and adverse reactions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
