1 and a half hour for the numb cream to take effect.
My waiting time was about 20 mins before the laser treatment.
During the treatment, all it takes was about 5 mins for the laser treatment.
All in all, the whole process is about 2 hours. Here's the photo before and after treatment.
Before treatment. Actual tattoo image.
Feels like a rubber band snapping quickly on my skin during the treatment and here's the direct outcome.(White frosting)
In the vast majority of cases, this only lasts for 15-30 minutes after treatment. It is a temporary side effect, which is perfectly normal. White frosting is always evident during the first treatment, but once more ink gets remove from further sessions it won’t appear as much.
Is white frosting a good or bad thing?
It might not look very nice, but the white frosting you see during laser tattoo removal is very much a good thing. This reaction indicates the laser is penetrating the ink effectively. On top of that, it also shows that your body is reacting and healing quickly.
As soon as the laser hits your skin, it can go in various different directions. Some paths of light will reflect off the skin, while others will penetrate into the epidermis and dermis. However, we are interested in the ones that reach the ink particles, are absorbed into the skin and cause white frosting to occur.
After treatment.
When I reach home, I remove the bandage and there is some bloodstain on it. The burning sensation from the laser treatment pain was bearable at this point of time as I am writing this post. By the way, The treatment that the clinic uses is MedLite© C6 Laser System, which remains the gold standard for tattoo removal. I will share more on the day 1 cost soon. :)
