Understanding Microneedling and Laser Tattoo Removal

Tattoo Removal Scottsdale DAELA Cosmetic Tattoo

Combining microneedling with laser tattoo removal has emerged as an effective strategy to enhance tattoo elimination and improve skin texture. This approach is beneficial for removing all tattoos where texture or scarring of the skin is an issue and spectacularly successful in conjunction with brow tattoo removal.

Laser tattoo removal employs concentrated light beams to fragment tattoo ink particles embedded in the skin. The body’s immune system then gradually eliminates these fragmented particles. Microneedling, on the other hand, involves using fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen production and promoting skin regeneration. When used together, microneedling can enhance the effects of laser tattoo removal by improving ink dispersion and accelerating the healing process.

Laser Tattoo Removal removes inks of all colors, but it doesn’t repair scarring or raised skin caused by the tattoo.

Benefits of Alternating Microneedling with Laser Tattoo Removal

You may be removing an old unwanted tattoo and are hoping for enough removal to simply cover the area with a new tattoo. For this type of clearance you may not be concerned with raised skin or scarring, but those seeking 100% elimination (no promises…) the microneedling is a perfect option. But that’s not the only reason to use microneedling, in fact, microneedling may be something to consider regardless of scarring:

  1. Enhanced Ink Clearance: Microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin, facilitating the dispersion of tattoo ink particles disrupted by laser treatment. This process can lead to more efficient ink clearance.

  2. Improved Skin Texture: The collagen induction from microneedling can smooth out skin irregularities, reducing the appearance of raised areas or scars associated with tattoos.

  3. Accelerated Removal Process: By promoting better ink dispersion and skin healing, alternating these treatments may reduce the number of sessions required for complete tattoo removal.

Benefits of Alternating Treatments with Brow Tattoo Removal?

The same three benefits above and the added benefit of regrowth of brow hairs.  After a series of alternating microneedling sessions with laser removal sessions your brow hairs will have grown in even better!

 Areas Prone to Raised Skin and Scarring from Tattooing

Certain body areas are more susceptible to raised skin and scarring post-tattooing, including:

  • Chest and Upper Back: The skin in these regions is more prone to developing keloid scars.

  • Shoulders and Upper Arms: These areas often experience more movement and tension, which can contribute to hypertrophic scarring.

  • Lower Legs and Ankles: Limited blood flow in these areas can impede healing, increasing the risk of raised scars.

Best Practices

  • Professional Consultation: Always consult with qualified dermatologists or skincare professionals before undergoing combined treatments to ensure safety and efficacy.

  • Aftercare: Adhering to recommended aftercare protocols is crucial to minimize risks such as infection or additional scarring.

  • Individual Variability: Recognize that individual responses to treatment can vary based on skin type, tattoo characteristics, and overall health.

Incorporating microneedling into your laser tattoo removal regimen can offer enhanced benefits, particularly for challenging areas like the eyebrows. By understanding the potential advantages and consulting with professionals, you can achieve more effective and aesthetically pleasing outcomes.
