While it may seem more complicated, face tattoo removal is quite similar to removal on other parts of the body. It is possible, and there are a variety of removal methods available to make it happen. However, laser tattoo removal is a top choice for removing face tattoos due to its safety, effectiveness, and rate of removal compared to other techniques.
Yes, it is possible to fully remove a face tattoo.
Laser tattoo removal utilizes advanced laser technology and your body’s natural process(es) to remove your tattoo. Removal lasers produce a high-intensity light that targets ink particles in the second layer of skin, known as the dermis. When your tattoo ink absorbs the laser’s energy, its particles shatter into smaller pieces that can be removed by your immune system. Over time, your tattoo will gradually fade until it disappears entirely.
Laser tattoo removal is non-invasive and FDA-approved, making it a top choice for safe and effective tattoo removal on all parts of the body.
Because the face is more delicate, it is crucial to choose a tattoo removal method that minimizes the risks of scarring, skin discoloration, and other serious complications. Both dermabrasion and surgical excision are possible face tattoo solutions, similar to tattoo removal for other parts of the body. Although, both techniques do not provide a full removal without some form of risk.
For most clients, laser tattoo removal is the best (and only) option for removing face tattoos. Today’s laser technology can restore the face back to its “pre-tattoo” look, without damaging surrounding skin tissue. No scarring or skin texture changes like surgical excision and dermabrasion can cause.
Removery offers safe and effective face tattoo removal services with flexible payment options that fit your personal budget.
Laser tattoo removal for face tattoos is identical to the laser tattoo removal process for other parts of the body. However, many clients experience expedited results due to the face’s larger vascular supply. The influx of white blood cells in the area allows more ink particles to be carried away for eventual discarding by the immune system.
With advanced technology and expert guidance, removing tattoos from the face is completely safe. However, there is one factor that can greatly impact the safety of your laser tattoo removal experience: the orbital bone. Commonly known as the eye socket, the orbital bone holds and protects the eyeball—an extremely vital function for everyday life. When a tattoo is applied within the eye socket, tattoo ink is injected directly into the bone rather than the dermis. Laser technology completely lacks the ability to safely target bone, which can cause eye damage, fractures, or vision impairments if attempted.
At Removery, safety is our number one priority—especially with areas that pose limitations like the face. Our expert laser specialists will analyze your tattoo to ensure it is not within the orbital bone before starting treatment.
If your tattoo is treatable, Removery will provide you with metal eye shields to protect the eyes during every session. These eye shields, along with our doctor-backed protocols will maintain the highest standard of safety while you undergo removal for your face tattoo(s).
Laser tattoo removal is entirely safe for all parts of the body, even the face—as long as high-quality equipment is used, and aftercare protocols are followed correctly.
In some cases, complications can arise that result in scarring, permanent skin discoloration, or infection. These complications are extremely rare and typically occur due to old laser technology and/or mistreating the affected area after treatment. At Removery, we use state-of-the-art laser technology to minimize these risks as much as possible. Our laser specialists also provide you with all the necessary aftercare steps to ensure your skin properly heals—and 24/7 support to go along with it.
Similar to getting a tattoo, placement matters when it comes to laser tattoo removal pain, along with your pain tolerance. The face is composed of thinner skin and more nerve endings, making the area more sensitive to laser treatments. Thankfully, all tattoo removal sessions are way faster than receiving an actual tattoo. The treatment could last 30 seconds to a few minutes depending on your tattoo’s size. Because of this, many clients find the pain caused by tattoo removal to be extremely tolerable.
To minimize discomfort during treatment(s), Removery’s laser specialists utilize ice packs and a Zimmer cooling machine on the direct area.
