Laser removal vs. depigmentation: What's the difference?

Laser Removal and Depigmentation

Laser removal is a different process to depigmenting a tattoo. It is very common for people not to understand the difference and be led to believe that both have the same effect.

In reality, the result delivered is different in both cases, precisely because they are different procedures and use different techniques.

We'll explain in more detail what laser removal is and what depigmentation is so that you know exactly which procedure to go for depending on your needs.

This will help you to achieve a good result, enabling you to have healthy, beautiful skin after undergoing the right procedure.

Laser removal: understand the procedure

The laser is used for tattoo removal by applying the laser wavelength to the entire region where the pigment is present.

The sessions are quick and can be done between 45 and 60 days after the previous session, to encourage the pigment to be broken down into smaller particles.

In this way, the body itself can use the immune system to eliminate the pigments that have been fragmented by the laser. Elimination is stimulated with each session, where the pigments become more and more fragmented.

The process requires a few sessions and it is not possible to predict the number of sessions as it depends on certain factors such as the color of the tattoo, the region and the place on the body where the tattoo was made.

Laser tattoo removal is a safe process when carried out by a good professional, who will be able to remove all the ink from the skin.

The result is a healthy and natural appearance. The sessions are slightly uncomfortable and last just a few minutes, giving a satisfactory result.

Laser depigmentation: ideal for micropigmentation

Laser depigmentation is an ideal procedure for removing unwanted micropigmentation. So that you can touch up the area by removing the pigment that didn't turn out as expected.

It is common for micropigmentation to result in some oxidation of the pigment used over the long term.

As a result, pigmentation of the mouth or eyebrows causes long-term dissatisfaction and triggers the search for micropigmentation removal.

To do this, it's worth using a laser depigmentation procedure, which is effective, removes the pigment completely and leaves a very natural appearance.

The procedure does not cause any scars and is a great ally in the search for a natural result for the face.

As with laser tattoo removal, depigmentation requires several sessions to completely remove the pigment.

However, the technique is effective when done by a qualified professional. It guarantees a natural-looking area, without the appearance of previous micropigmentation.

To achieve good results, the interval between sessions is between 30 and 90 days, depending directly on your healing. It is therefore a process that takes time.

What is the best procedure for tattoo removal and micropigmentation?

In reality, the answer is that laser removal is ideal for tattoos on the skin, while depigmentation is ideal for micropigmentation.

So each procedure is indicated according to your needs. The result is a natural, healthy-looking skin.

Whatever your needs, it's very important to go to a good professional and follow their advice. Trying to speed up the process is not ideal.

Given that the skin needs to heal well for the process to be completed efficiently, ensuring healthy skin after the pigments have been removed.

Whether you're using a laser to remove a tattoo or depigmentation, you need to take certain precautions. As described:

  • Wear sunscreen;
  • Avoid scratching the area;
  • Avoid using products that could damage the skin during healing, such as bracelets and accessories or tight clothing around the tattoo area;
  • Find a good professional;
  • Apply a local anesthetic before the session if you don't have a high tolerance for discomfort;
  • Eat as well as possible to strengthen your immune system;
  • Do not remove or depigment if you are ill;
  • Always respect the interval between sessions.

All this care is essential for good healing after the procedure.

Can I have new micropigmentation after depigmentation?

The good news for those looking for 100% natural, healthy skin is that a well-done procedure will give you this result.

So that a new tattoo or micropigmentation can be done in the area after it has healed completely.

Ideally, you should give your skin at least 45 days to rest after undergoing removal or depigmentation and finishing your last session.

This way, the skin will have enough time to heal before being exposed to a new procedure. Whether it's micropigmentation or tattooing on the spot.

Taking care of your skin is important to ensure that it stays healthy. Avoiding blemishes, infections and other damage that is more complex to treat.

Therefore, taking preventive care is the best course of action, respecting the healing period your skin needs.

Always look for a good professional

Whether it's laser tattoo removal or depigmentation of an area of the body, you need to look for a good professional. Otherwise, there's a high risk of staining your skin and causing other problems.
