Tattoos and tattoo removal have come a long way. Tattoos have a long history in many cultures; they have appeared as cultural rites of passage, bold forms of self-expression and also as a means of punishment. Tattoos used to set one apart from the crowd but nowadays it is quite ordinary to have one or many. Just this morning on channel 7 news, Joe Amorosino did a cooking segment with his mom in their home and I suppose I shouldn’t have been as surprised as I was to see him in a golf shirt, both forearms covered in ink.
I often admire the tattoos of others but I have found out that, just like many popular things, it is not something that is right for me; unfortunately, it took me getting 4 tattoos to know this to be true. Up until recently, I had come to terms with the fact that I am stuck with it, so to speak. I knew that tattoo removal was a thing but I have never seen results which motivated me to endure the time and expense, not to mention it is extremely painful!
Well, it is a new day and now we offer “painless tattoo removal” at Dream Spa Medical. We are the first in the region to offer the Enlighten laser for tattoo removal and the results are incredible! We are combining this with numbing injections so what used to be a torture session is now less-stress than getting your teeth cleaned. The Enlighten laser requires less treatments and results in more complete removal of tattoos than has ever been seen before. I have begun the process of removing 3 out of 4 of my tattoos and I am thrilled to say the very least. One treatment has significantly faded my multi-colored tattoos. They are large and quite dark but the treatment was way less than an hour and it didn’t hurt a bit!
