Laser Tattoo Removal Overview
Laser tattoo removal is the superior method for getting rid of unwanted ink. Unlike other methods, laser tattoo removal is noninvasive, safe, and extremely effective! No Regerts uses advanced laser technology and customized protocols to deliver unparalleled results throughout Corvallis, Oregon.
How Laser Tattoo Removal Works
Laser tattoo removal essentially acts as an assistant to your body’s immune system. The moment a tattoo is applied, your immune system is immediately triggered and sends bacteria eating cells to remove the foreign ink particles embedded in your skin. Due to the large size and deep placement of the ink particles, the tattoo remains permanently etched into your skin. Nonetheless, your immune system continuously scrapes away at the large ink particles, which explains why tattoos gradually lose color and fade over many years.
Laser tattoo removal uses light energy to safely penetrate through the skin and target the large ink particles. The absorption of light energy causes the large ink particles to heat up and shatter into tiny fragmented particles that are small enough for your immune system to naturally flush out. This process is repeated over a series of treatments, each treatment breaking down the ink particles into smaller fragments each time, successfully speeding up the natural fading process until no ink is visible in the skin.
Every tattoo is comprised of multiple layers of ink. In order to target every ink particle and every ink layer, every patient will require multiple laser treatments to achieve complete tattoo removal. Each laser session targets the shallowest layer of ink and works its way down until the tattoo is completely removed. Patients will see their tattoo fade more and more with each session.
No Regerts Laser Tattoo Removal uses the safest protocols and latest laser technology to safely remove all tattoo colors from all skin types. For more information on how laser tattoo removal works or to schedule a free consultation, call (541) 740-0532.
Our Technology
No Regerts Laser Tattoo Removal uses the most cutting-edge technologies to ensure optimal tattoo removal and maximum patient comfort.
The Astanza Trinity
The Astanza Trinity Laser is a state-of-the-art Q-switched Nd:YAG and Q-switched ruby system. The Trinity combines the power of two standalone lasers, thus producing three powerful wavelengths, 1064 nm, 532 nm, and 694 nm, for effective tattoo removal across all colors.
The Trinity’s Nd:YAG laser’s 1064 nm and 532 nm wavelengths target colors found in 90-95% of tattoos: black, dark blue, green, red, orange, yellow, brown, and violet. The remaining 5-10% of tattoos include vibrant blue and green pigments that are especially difficult to remove. Only a special ruby wavelength, like our Trinity’s 694 nm, is designed to target and remove these resistant hues. Each wavelength targets a specific group of colors to collectively deliver a full-spectrum solution to the most colorful tattoos.
Furthermore, our Trinity laser is safe to use on all skin types and features homogenized safety beams for even energy application and reduced risks of side effects. Coupled with ultra-fast pulse durations, high pulse energies, and intense peak power, the Trinity delivers optimal ink shattering and faster ink clearance in the least amount of treatments necessary.
The Trinity laser at No Regerts Laser Tattoo Removal is the gold standard technology for removing unwanted ink throughout Corvallis, Albany, Salem, and beyond.
The Zimmer Cryo 6
One thing No Regerts Laser Tattoo Removal prioritizes as much as great results is patient comfort. Depending on your pain tolerance, laser tattoo removal can feel like a rubber band snapping against the skin or similar to getting another tattoo applied. Overall, the majority of patients have said the procedure is very tolerable. However, we understand that laser tattoo removal can be uncomfortable for some patients, which is why we’ve invested in the Zimmer Cryo 6 cooling machine.
The Zimmer Cryo 6 cooling machine is a leading noninvasive skin numbing solution. What makes this technology so amazing is its ability to provide soothing numbing to the treatment site before, during, and after treatment. Compared to ice packs that wear off during treatment, numbing creams that take forever to take effect, or numbing injections that are invasive and costly, our Zimmer Cryo offers a fast solution that lasts throughout the entirety of your laser session.
During treatment, the Cryo blows freezing cold air (-30ºC/-22ºF) through a long hose that is directed at the unwanted tattoo. Within a matter of seconds, the targeted area is sufficiently cooled, numbed, and ready for treatment. Best of all, the Zimmer Cryo minimizes the risk of thermal injury, inflammation, and pain while increasing patient comfort.
No Regerts Laser Tattoo Removal offers free usage of the Zimmer Cryo to all patients, new and existing. Your comfort is our priority, so sit back, relax, and let us remove your unwanted tattoos with the best technology in Corvallis!
