Laser Tattoo Removal in Little Rock, AR

You may have several reasons why you no longer want your tattoo. Perhaps it represents a painful memory? Or maybe your tattoo has faded over time or it just doesn't represent who you are anymore. Despite the reason, advancements in tattoo removal technology have made it possible to lighten and maybe even eliminate the undesired tattoo. At Nirvana Med Spa in Little Rock, AR, we provide tattoo removal treatments using the high-tech Alma Harmony XL Pro laser. Compared to other tattoo removal systems, this technology produces better results and may require fewer treatments.

Some tattoos are outdated or cause painful memories. Laser tattoo removal can help remove the ink and improve your self-confidence. The Alma Harmony XL PRO laser is the latest and most advanced technology for tattoo removal. It has several benefits over other systems, including:

• Excellent results: The Harmony XL PRO laser can successfully reduce the appearance of unwanted tattoos, even those that have been present for many years.
• Fewer treatments needed: This unique technology often achieves results in fewer treatments than other systems, meaning you'll save time and resources.
• Minimal discomfort: Harmony XL PRO treatments are minimally invasive and cause little to no discomfort.

There are several factors that improve the success of your tattoo removal. Great candidates for laser tattoo removal:

• Have strong immune systems. A strong immune system improves the body’s ability to break down and eliminate the ink properties.
• Have a healthy lifestyle and abstain from smoking.
• Have a deep contrast between the ink color and the pigment of the skin. The greater the contrast, the greater the result.
• Have older tattoos. The older a tattoo is, the better it will respond to treatment.

After our physicians determine that your skin is ideal for laser tattoo removal, they will prepare the treatment area by cleaning the skin and applying a numbing cream. Next, a skilled team member will pass the specialized handpiece over your skin's surface as it emits energy and pulsing laser light. The time it takes to complete the procedure varies and depends on the size of the treatment area. At times, the tattoo may require multiple sessions before obvious results are seen. During your consultation, we will provide details about follow-up sessions and when to schedule them.

After each session, we will apply an ointment and bandages to the skin, which will help protect the area. You may experience swelling, redness, and sensitivity. It can also feel like a sunburn, and you may have minor scabbing. To speed up the recovery process, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions. It's very important to follow these directions to ensure your skin heals. After the area has healed and if needed, we will schedule another session. We do not recommend scheduling sessions sooner than 4 – 7 weeks apart.

When will I see results from my laser tattoo removal sessions?
Outcomes after laser hair removal vary for everyone. Following each treatment, you will see the tattoo turn more faded.

In many cases, numerous appointments will be required and are performed about one month apart.

Can all tattoos be removed with laser tattoo removal?
Most tattoos can be removed with laser tattoo removal using the Harmony XL PRO platform at Nirvana Med Spa, but some colors are more difficult to remove than others. Darker colors like black and blue are typically easier to remove than brighter colors like green and yellow. Additionally, larger or deeply embedded tattoos in the skin may need more sessions.

Is laser tattoo removal painful?
Laser tattoo removal with Harmony XL PRO should not be painful. Some describe the laser process as a slight snapping sensation, but since our Little Rock, AR med spa uses a topical anesthetic during the treatment, you shouldn’t feel much. Additionally, we will take steps after the treatment to make sure you feel comfortable as the skin heals and the body breaks down the ink.
