Shaving, waxing and tweezing are temporary methods for hair removal; permanent electrolysis-based hair removal may be a more suitable and permanent option. Electrolysis also offers benefits when used by those who have tattoos.
Laser hair removal cannot be conducted over tattoos as the laser cannot differentiate between dark pigment from hair follicles and ink from tattoos, potentially distorting and even burning the design.
What to Expect
Permanent tattoo hair removal offers many advantages over its counterparts; most notably being freed of shaving, waxing and depilatory use for good. However, these methods of hair removal are only temporary and time consuming, failing to effectively eliminate unwanted hair from the surface of the skin without harming any tattoos underneath. Tattoos have long been used as a form of expression and self-expression, often to express a feeling or personality. Tattoos may serve to mark an important event or change, to honor family members or simply show off personal style; regardless of why we get tattoos, their presence should always be protected and upheld as part of an identity statement.
Laser hair removal is an effective and permanent way of eliminating unsightly hair follicles, using pulses of light energy to target and destroy any dark pigment in a hair follicle, and prevent future hair regrowth. Unfortunately, dark pigments found in tattoo ink may absorb this light energy and damage skin cells; as a result, your tattoo could blur over time or fade completely.
Laser hair removal should never be conducted over existing tattoos; we advise tattoo removal prior to seeking laser hair removal treatments in order to cover a greater area and prevent unnecessary damage to them.
Tattoos and hair removal each have unique attributes that set them apart, so to ensure a safe and effective experience for each, personalized treatments must be adapted specifically to each patient. Tattoos are forms of body art we all appreciate; therefore they should be protected as such.
In order to treat a tattoo correctly, we must first cover it with a thick shield that will shield it from the heat of a laser and keep the tattooed area safe from its heat. This creates a wall between 2-3 cm that blocks off its path towards it thereby keeping it away from harm’s way and ensure a successful outcome.

Preparation
If you have tattoos, it is essential that you consider the best ways to remove unwanted hair. Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic treatment which permanently rids treated areas of unwanted hair. While this option may work for some individuals, those with tattoos should carefully consider which treatments won’t damage or fade their designs; laser treatments could compromise or alter them permanently.
Electrolysis is the preferred choice for combining permanent hair removal and tattoos, using a small probe which delivers bursts of electricity directly into each follicle, effectively disabling its root and preventing future hair regrowth. When selecting an electrologist who specializes in tattoo removal treatments safely.
Before your appointment, ensure your tattoos are clean and dry. Wearing loose-fitting clothing during treatment may help alleviate pain caused by treatment; Tylenol or Ibuprofen may help alleviate any discomfort; but be wary that taking too much Ibuprofen could result in bruising to treated areas.
Before your tattoo appointment, it’s essential that you avoid shaving or waxing because the chemicals present can damage or discolor your tattoo. Furthermore, shaving or waxing can lead to abrasions on your skin which could irritate and infected. Furthermore, using harsh scrubs like salt or sandpaper could also damage it further.
Although laser hair removal can damage tattoos, there are alternative treatments that won’t. Electrology is considered one of the safest options for those with tattoos as it doesn’t use lasers or any other harsh processes – dermatologists even often suggest electrolysis treatment as part of an alternative therapy plan for tattooed individuals.

Treatment
After investing time and money on getting a tattoo, many want to protect it for as long as possible. Luckily, there are multiple hair removal treatments that won’t damage or alter its appearance – waxing, tweezing and depilatory creams all offer non-damaging solutions while electrolysis offers permanent hair removal without damaging tattoos.
At the beginning of treatment, a thin wire is inserted into each hair follicle and an electrical current destroys its growth center, effectively stopping hair regrowth. While the procedure may be slightly painful, its results speak for themselves and it works on both light and dark hair without affecting pigments like laser hair removal does.
But most dermatologists advise against laser treatments near or on tattoos due to how the light used for laser therapy cannot distinguish between darker pigments present in hair follicles and darker colors of your tattoo.
Since lasers can lead to severe burns on the skin, it’s vital that a reputable clinic employs appropriate techniques when treating areas containing tattoos. Ice packs or machines like Zimmer Cryo 6 may help ease pain significantly while making treatment safe for patients with sensitive skin.
Electrolysis is an ideal permanent hair removal treatment to get rid of unwanted hair while still protecting tattoos, as this permanent method works on all skin and hair types – including those with tattoos. Electrolysis works by inserting a small needle into each hair follicle before sending an electric current through it to destroy its growth center – offering safer and more effective alternative than laser hair removal.
Tattoos can be more difficult to treat with lasers than other parts of the body due to being deeper within the skin, and because certain wavelengths of light may be resistant – similar to how bacteria become immune against antibiotics.
Though some individuals may use laser hair removal on their tattoos successfully, most dermatologists do not advise this option. Instead, consider other cosmetic treatments which are both safe and effective.
