Xlase laser tattoo removal uses a device that sends low-energy laser beams into the dermal tissue (under the skin). These beams penetrate the dermis and break down the pigments in the skin. This reduces spots and pigmentation disorders and evens out the skin tone.
Xlase laser can be used to reduce spots, even out skin tone and reduce wrinkles. It can also be used to fade tattoos. However, completely removing a tattoo requires much higher-energy laser devices.
Xlase laser is generally used on lighter skin areas such as the face, neck and arms, but it can also be used on denser areas. The treatment is performed by a skin doctor or specialist and usually requires several sessions.
As with any skin treatment, Xlase laser can have side effects. These are usually mild and temporary: itching, redness or pain in the treated area. More serious side effects are possible, so it is advisable to consult a skin doctor or specialist before treatment.
Is tattoo removal with Xlase laser safe?
Xlase laser aims to reduce spots and pigmentation by breaking down the pigments in the skin. It is therefore possible to fade tattoos with Xlase laser, but higher-energy devices are required to remove them completely.
The treatment is performed by a skin doctor or specialist and usually takes several sessions. As with any skin treatment, side effects such as itching, redness or pain may occur; more serious effects are possible, which is why you should consult a specialist before treatment.
Tattoo removal with Xlase laser can therefore be considered a safe method, but it is always important to learn about the side effects and risks of any skin treatment and to trust the doctor or specialist who will perform it.
Does Xlase laser remove a tattoo completely?
Xlase laser fades tattoos by breaking down the pigments in the skin; complete removal requires higher-energy laser devices.
Complete removal may require a treatment course of several sessions performed by a skin doctor or specialist. The course depends on the size, depth and colour of the tattoo and on skin type. It should also be remembered that some tattoos cannot be removed completely.
So complete removal may be possible with Xlase laser, but it is not guaranteed. It is important to learn about the side effects and risks of the treatment and to trust the doctor or specialist who will perform it.
How many sessions does Xlase laser tattoo removal take?
The number of sessions needed depends on the size, depth and colour of the tattoo and on skin type. Lighter and newer tattoos usually need fewer sessions, while deeper and older tattoos need more. The doctor also takes the side effects and risks of the treatment into account when determining the number of sessions.
The number of sessions therefore differs from person to person and should be determined together with the doctor or specialist, although several sessions are usually needed.
How much does an Xlase laser tattoo removal session cost?
Session fees vary by country and by practitioner. They depend on the size, depth and colour of the tattoo and on skin type, as well as on the experience and reputation of the practitioner and the quality of the device.
To find out the session fees, contact a skin doctor or specialist or visit a skincare clinic. When asking about fees, also consider which device the practitioner uses, which methods they apply and whether they inform you about the side effects and risks.
