Tattoo Be Gone: Preparing for Laser Tattoo Removal

Getting certain tattoos might seem like a good idea at the time, but eventually, you might want them gone. While everyone says “tattoos are permanent decisions,” nowadays, that’s not the case. 

Laser tattoo removal can effectively remove tattoos and help you forget they were ever there.

If you’re interested in tattoo removal, schedule a consultation with the team at Laser Skin Solutions Jacksonville. 

What Is Laser Tattoo Removal and How Does It Work?

Laser tattoo removal is a treatment that can lighten and completely remove tattoos. 

When you undergo laser tattoo removal, we use a laser to dissolve the tattoo’s pigment, or ink, into tiny particles. In the weeks following a tattoo removal session, your body works to flush away the particles of pigment, causing the tattoo to lighten over time. 

The laser starts at the shallowest layer of ink, and as you progress with your treatment, it reaches the deepest layers of ink. Eventually, the tattoo will be barely noticeable or gone, depending on your desired outcome. 

What to Expect When Getting Laser Tattoo Removal

Once you’ve had your consultation and we’ve created your treatment plan, you can begin your laser tattoo removal treatment.

We will start by cleansing and preparing the treatment area and giving you protective eyewear to wear while we complete your laser treatment. 

We can walk you through the procedure to ensure that there won’t be any surprises and make you feel as comfortable as possible. Patients often describe the sensation of the laser passing over their skin as tiny snapping rubber bands or the feeling of getting a tattoo. 

Treatment times vary depending on the size of the tattoo and its location, but we typically complete a session in 15 minutes to one hour. 

After your treatment, we’ll provide aftercare instructions to help promote quick and successful healing.

Helpful Information Before Beginning Tattoo Removal

If you’re new to tattoo removal, it’s common to have concerns. The following information regarding laser tattoo removal will help you understand the process and know what to expect.

Laser Tattoo Removal Involves Several Sessions

Because of the way laser tattoo removal works, we can’t remove tattoos completely in one sitting. Lasers slowly help break down the pigment that gives your tattoo its color, and the more sessions you have, the deeper the laser can penetrate and break up the ink. 

The laser tattoo removal process does not end when you leave your appointment. In the weeks following your treatment, your body is still hard at work to remove the ink from your tattoo. For this reason, we space appointments six to eight weeks apart.

You’ll find that some tattoos are easier to remove than others, depending on the type of tattoo, its color, and the way your body reacts to the laser. During your consultation, we can give you a better idea of how many treatments you may need to reach your desired outcome. 

Colored Tattoos Can Be Removed

Black tattoos are usually easier to remove because the laser can target and break up the pigment more precisely. However, colored tattoos can also be removed. Colored tattoos may require more treatments, depending on the color and the type of tattoo. 

Laser Tattoo Removal Is Permanent

Laser tattoo removal is permanent, as the pigment of your tattoo gets destroyed. The ink won’t come back, and you won’t have to get follow-up treatments to maintain your results. 

You Can Laser a Tattoo for Multiple Reasons

Laser tattoo removal is a personal choice. Many patients want to eliminate the entire tattoo, while others opt for selective removal, only erasing part of the design. Additionally, some patients simply want to fade the tattoo, making it easier to get a cover-up in the future.

Tips to Prepare for Laser Tattoo Removal

The following tips can help you prepare before a laser tattoo removal appointment.

Stay out of the Sun Before and After Your Appointment

Avoiding sun exposure is particularly important before any laser treatment. Prolonged sun exposure can make your skin more sensitive. You should avoid the sun as much as possible for two to four weeks before your treatment. 

Also, make sure that you wear SPF and cover the treatment area with protective clothing. 

Quit or Cut Back on Smoking

Smoking can significantly affect the way your body heals after treatment. If possible, quit smoking altogether. If you can’t manage that, cut back as much as possible before your appointment. 

Avoid Products that Cause Photosensitivity

Certain products, like salicylic acid and retinol, can make your skin sensitive. Stop using these products on the treatment area at least three days before your appointment. 

Make Sure to Eat and Hydrate Prior to Your Laser Session

Going to your appointment dehydrated or on an empty stomach can contribute to low blood sugar, light-headedness, and dizziness. Make sure that you eat a meal and drink enough water on the day of your treatment.

Wear Comfortable Clothing

Depending on where your tattoo is located, your clothing may cover it. Wearing loose clothing will help you avoid any discomfort after your treatment. 

Do Not Apply Numbing Products to the Treatment Area Before Your Treatment

While it may be tempting to put on numbing creams before treatment, these products can interfere with the laser. We can help make the area comfortable for you during your treatment without sacrificing the efficacy of the laser.

This is an amazing place with amazing people! They always make you feel comfortable and answer all questions !! I went for my 3rd tattoo removal session and each time the experience is always great!!! They moved their office and had some deliveries and rearranging going on and they were still very professional and amazing even through all the stress they are under with getting everything in order. They also get to you in a timely manner. The office was still very patient-friendly and relaxing !! Love this place !! Also, I had to bring my kids in and they sat in the waiting room and the staff checked in on them and got me out fast to get back to them. They were very understanding !!

LSS - the best of the best in hair removal and coolscuplting!

by Lisa H.

May17,2017

Every now and then we need a little bit of assistance to help our outer beauty match our inner beauty. If this is you - which, let's face it, can become more of an issue for those of us who hit the magic marker of age 50 - then Laser Skin Solutions is the place for you! Never having done any procedure outside of one or two painful electrolysis procedures, I was both tentative and nervous about laser hair removal. After a quick consult with Jennifer, I started seeing Amanda on a regular basis for hair removal on the face and legs. Let me tell you ladies, I do not know why I waited so long to try it out. Needless to say, I am a firm believer in the process now and I highly recommend getting this procedure done if you, like me, are much too active to take time for shaving your legs every other day and/or you wake up some morning feeling fantastic only to look in the mirror and find a couple of very coarse, unwanted hairs sticking out of your face that you would have sworn were not there the night before! Amanda, with her bubbly personality and genuine care for me as her patient is one of the best and I do not know that I would trust myself with anyone else (although, I have yet to be disappointed in anyone I have encountered at this company). Which brings me to Jennifer and her coolsculpting efforts. Like many of you, I did my homework and I conducted a lot of research to see if this was the process that might work best for me. Again, I had a consult with Jennifer and feeling assured that she and I were seeing eye-to-eye on what coolsculpting could do for me and my genetic double-chin that made me feel like the main course of a Thanksgiving dinner, we forged ahead with not one, but two coolsculpting sessions to tackle one of my biggest pet peeves. Five weeks out of that second session, looking at before and after photos, I and my friends are blown away at the difference. Am I perfect as perfect can be? No - but, the difference is amazing - subtle in one aspect so folks simply think "Hey, you're looking good ..." but tremendously huge in another aspect - the one where I wake up and see myself in the mirror every day and find that double chin of mine shrinking each and every day since. I love coolsculpting and I am positive that I may be back for some additional sessions for those stubborn, problem areas - just waiting on them to get the equipment for the arms. So excited. LSS and these lovely ladies are part of my game plan for an overall happier me and I cannot say enough good things about this company or these women! They just rock!

I had the miraDry procedure done 2 weeks ago. I was very pleased with the entire experience. The staff was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable. The procedure was not too painful, and I healed quickly. The results have been amazing!

Years of 5 Star Service

by Jen Roethemeier

Feb15,2017

Its hard to choose which category to review, since I have had the pleasure of experiencing the best of most of their services. Whether it is Botox, fillers, vein removal, aesthetics, or even most recently for me tattoo removal, I have yet to be disappointed. Jennifer gets everything in line so I can experience the best visit possible and then hands me over the Amanda who ensures that what I want is what I get. I will only trust Dr. Jill with a laser as she is one of the best in the US. She can use me as a guinea pig any day because I know she only has my best intentions in mind. I am 40 years old, but often surprise people with that revelation. Thanks ladies!!

Wonderful results with laser tattoo removal!

by Lisa Frazer

Jan13,2017

I am so thankful to Laser Skin Solutions for my tattoo removal! From my very first meeting with staff, everyone was so kind and optimistic. Seriously – they are ALL so sweet and detail oriented and thorough! They never made me feel idiotic for getting the tattoo in the first place. I had a multitude of very bright colors, and I was told I had a very good chance of fading with their variety of lasers, including the new Picosure. I was extremely pleased with the results, as my tattoo became light enough that I was able to get a beautiful cover-up tattoo once I was healed. Laser Skin Solutions completely exceeded my expectations! I wish I could remember everyone\'s name, but unfortunately that is my weak point. But I can tell you they are all exceptional staff and I would recommend them to anyone!

Laser Therapy Success!

by Sharrell C.

Jan 6,2017

I have been blown away by the incredible experience Ive had at the LSS Jacksonville. As a person of color, I initially had a few hesitations because of the horror stories I read on the internet. I decided to take the plunge and I have truly had an amazing experience. From the time that I entered, the staff was warm and welcoming. Additionally, they were extremely knowledgeable and were able to answer my questions honestly. Not only have I had an excellent response to the therapy, but I also have not experienced any side effects. I highly recommend their services and plan to utilize them for other services in the future!

Thank you Laser Skin Solutions!

by Rachel Mercer

Nov22,2016

It has been almost 6 weeks since my Miradry procedure @ Laser Skin Solutions. From original phone call to follow up calls, everyone is very pleasant, informative & friendly. What annoys me the most is all of the confiding I did in my health care providers, over a period of years, and no one suggested Miradry. When I was basically left feeling hopeless, after trying "everything", I became determined to find a treatment, on my own, to help me. A little Google research, reading clinic, treatment & practitioner reviews and I found my clinic! The entire visit was like a girls morning with friends. They treated me like I was their personal friend while maintaining an exceptional degree of professionalism. As far as the procedure, at almost 6 weeks later, I have had enough success that I may actually not have to return for the 2nd treatment ... However, I plan to find an excuse to return for one of their many beauty treatments! I highly recommend Miradry, Dr. Lezaic, her entire staff and Laser Skin Solutions. This was not an uncomfortable procedure (Dr. Lezaic is a goddess when it comes to injections) and in my experience, the healing was a breeze. As a bonus, I have only had to shave a few sparse underarm hairs 3 or 4 times in the last 6 weeks! Thank you Laser Skin Solutions!

MiraDry, It Works!

by Kyle

Nov22,2016

If you have hyperhidrosis in the underarms, go get MiraDry. That's all there is too it. Nothing else in the world works like it does. After ONE treatment my axillary sweating was down 60-70%! I feel like I don't even need deodorant but I wear it anyways because I'm used to it. Thank you!

I have always wanted to try laser hair removal, and after receiving a gift certificate from my boyfriend, I finally took the plunge. 100% satisfaction! The staff is amazing and professional, the equipment is state of the art, and my armpits are "baby smooth". I've added a few additional spots, and I'm so pleased with the results. I love Amanda - she's the best - very friendly and welcoming. I drive from the north side of town, and it's well worth the drive. I would highly recommend Laser Skin Solutions!

Dr. Lezaic and her staff are fantastic. I have been going to Laser Skin Solutions Jacksonville for approximately one year now. I am completely satisfied with the services that I have received. The staff is friendly, professional and very knowledgeable of their work. I would (and have) recommended LSSJ to friends and family. Jacksonville is fortunate to have Dr. Lezaic here in our city.

I feel more confident without having to wear a ton of makeup

by Cathy A.

Nov22,2016

I have been a patient for almost one year, and couldn't be happier with the treatments I have received. Dr. Leziac and staff are awesome. I have received wonderful compliments on my skin, all because Dr. Leziac is so good at what she does. Growing up I was always ashamed of my acne scarred complexion, and dark brown spots, but not any more. I feel more confident without having to wear a ton of makeup....thank you!!!

Nothing but good things to say

by Heather S.

Nov22,2016

Nothing but good things to say. I have been a patient of Dr. L for some time now receiving various services and trying new products. She and her staff provide an excellent level of care. There has been no comparison to her thoroughness, detail, and honesty in practice. This is true, try a few so called "Best Ofs", when you market to the masses some details such as purity, attention to detail, and follow-up care suffer. I have been very pleased and if money was not an option, I would be more a regular.

You're doing a wonderful job!

by Joseph K

Nov22,2016

This review is long overdue. But I realized on my last laser tattoo removal treatment that I owe it to Dr. Lezaic and her amazing staff to write a review that expressed my sentiments and very positive experiences with her establishment. Please allow me to explain my personal experience with Dr. Lezaic and her staff over the last 1 1/2 years: First, I will let you know that I am a man who has high expectations for the level quality in both customer service and the skill level of the staff of any establishment I'm looking to give my money to. I expect staff to offer a pleasant greeting and demeanor. I expect that if I'm giving them my money they should work for it and go out of their way to make certain that I'm fully satisfied with my purchase and experience with their organization. I'm a transplant from Pennsylvania and have lived here in Jacksonville, Florida for the last 4 years. I say that because I think my high expectations are a result of the fact that, in my experience, it's common to have businesses that go out of their way to provide these very things back home. I don't usually have to look for it when I'm home because I know I can find it. I have noticed, however, that it is nowhere near as common here in Jacksonville as it is at home. This may simply be my individual experience but it has been my experience none-the-less. Why would I tell you this? Because since the beginning of my treatments at Laser Skin Solutions, I have had nothing but absolutely pleasant experiences. In my opinion, Dr. Lezaic sets the bar for both quality customer service and skill level among all the business experiences I have had over the course of the last 4 years. (I can name hundreds of business experiences.) I have been going to Laser Skin Solutions for the last 1 1/2 years and I've received about 14 treatments on a very stubborn tattoo that I'm a fool for ever getting. During every treatment I have been treated with respect and consideration above and beyond anything that I have requested of them. If I have a complaint or a concern or a question I am greeted with a considerate response every time and that is HUGE to me being as I know that I have high expectations, especially from healthcare professionals who I believe should know what they are doing. Furthermore, since I started going to Laser Skin Solutions, I've received discounts on services bought in bulk. Also, recently there have been two times where there was a schedule mix up with my appointments and the staff have taken full responsibility and adjusted their schedules to accommodate me when I was already there at a time they did not expect. I don't know for sure if it was their fault or not but I'm very good about being on time and making certain that I am there at my particular appointment time. Regardless, they still took responsibility for it and that floored me because I honestly don't remember the last time a company has done that without me having to remind them of their responsibilities in circumstances like these, which I'm happy to do if they need it but have never had to do with Laser Skin Solutions. Dr. Lezaic's staff, including Amanda, Farin (I hope I spelled that correctly) Lori (I hope I spelled that one right, too) and numerous others have all been truly awesome. Thank you very much, ladies. You're doing a wonderful job!

How gorgeous and amazing

by Danielle I

Nov22,2016

I first went to LSS for laser tattoo removal and ended up not only satisfied with how well that process is going, but how gorgeous and amazing I feel about myself after several other treatments I've received! The entire staff at LSS is not only kind, caring and compassionate but they are all very knowledgable and made me feel completely comfortable from the moment I first arrived. They continue to always be so helpful and wonderful and I wish I could take them with me when I move!! :):):)

I have been going to Laser Skin Solutions for several years and always have a great experience. The office is always relaxed and inviting, and the staff is exceptionally knowledgable of both the procedures and product. Dr. L and her staff's passion for what they do truly shines through during their interactions with patients; no detail is missed before, during, and after your procedure. Laser Skin Solutions never disappoints. They really are the best in Jacksonville!

I could not recommend LSS more

by John S.

Nov22,2016

I went to Laser Skin Solutions with little hope after learning that the colors of my tattoo made removal next to impossible. Lucky for me Dr. Lezaic was optimistic enough for the both of us. She explained it would be difficult but not impossible and I scheduled my first appointment in two weeks. The progress was much faster than I had imagined whether this was due to the laser or her masterful skill in using it I don't know. I have to believe it was a combination of both. I walked away from Laser Sin Solutions 100% satisfied with both the progress of my treatments and the friendliness of the staff. I could not recommend LSS more for anybody looking to remove an unsightly tattoo.

Laser Skin Solutions is the best medical spa

by Liz H.

Nov22,2016

Laser Skin Solutions is the best medical spa that I have been to in the Jacksonville area. The waiting room is one of the most luxurious rooms I've have ever been in and I feel like royalty every time I step into their office. I've seen them for many types of treatments including botox, laser hair removal, facials and peels. Dr. Lezaic is very professional and my face looks amazing after my botox treatments! Amanda and Lori always make me feel very comfortable and at ease when getting my hair removal treatments. Jennifer at the front desk is a joy and is very accommodating when needing to schedule and reschedule appointments. Overall I highly recommend LSS to anyone looking for a medical spa!
