Would Lisbeth Salandar Have Gotten Laser Tattoo Removal?

Lisbeth Salandar may have sported one of the most famous tattoos of this decade. After all, she was “the girl with the dragon tattoo” in the mystery thriller of that name. The dragon tattoo certainly was an identifying feature for any who wanted to cause trouble for her. I’ve often wondered if Lisbeth ever had considered laser tattoo removal treatments. If so, what would it have involved? As depicted in the movie, it was quite large, very intricate and all black.

Fortunately for Lisbeth and anyone else wanting to say goodbye to their tattoos, laser tattoo removal has become quite refined over the past decade. And if you are one of those thinking about tattoo removal, you are not alone.

WebMD reports that nearly 30% of people in this country have at least one tattoo, with almost half of all millennials having one. Of those who have a tattoo, up to 25% indicate they regret the decision to get it.

In real life, people want to have tattoos removed for many reasons, ranging from putting the past behind them to distortion of the tattoo that can come with aging bodies to changing views about the message the tattoo sends and many, many more.

But, what about the process itself? Following are just a few facts about laser tattoo removal treatments and frequently asked questions:

 

Will I need multiple laser tattoo removal treatments?

It is highly likely it will take multiple sessions to remove your tattoo (most take 6 – 15 treatments). All professional tattoos have multiple layers of ink, and each session results in some level of fading. The number of sessions needed to remove a tattoo depends on a number of factors including the age of the tattoo, the color of the ink, and the density of the ink.

 

How does laser tattoo removal work?

The pigment in your tattoo absorbs energy from the laser and shatters into smaller pieces, somewhat like a sugar cube breaking apart into smaller granules. Once the ink is broken down by the tattoo removal laser, the body responds by moving fluid to the area to help flush away the ink. This is an immune response that will be evident in the form of some swelling and redness in the area.

 

Is laser tattoo removal painful?

Many people compare the feeling of the procedure with that of getting the tattoo applied. A significant difference is that laser tattoo removal is much quicker; most treatments take just a few seconds of laser time to complete.  Additionally, we use a cooler to cool your skin prior to and during treatment.

We’d expect that you would have further questions related to the specifics of your tattoo.
