For a long time now, tattoos have been a form of popular self expression. However, for various reasons, many people who go for tattoos regret getting inked down the line, at some time or other in life. Take a look at the 6 different kinds of Tattoo Removal in Leamington Spa treatments categorized by the size of the tattooed area.

1. Test Patch

This is actually a small-scale test of laser tattoo removal, which evaluates the response of the skin to the treatment before patients go for a full session. With the help of this type of treatment, both doctors and patients can determine the most effective laser settings. It can ensure a lot of safety, particularly for those with complex tattoo compositions or sensitive skin types.

In this process, laser is used to treat a small section of the tattoo and the reaction of the skin is monitored over a period. It can ensure a custom treatment plan for proper removal of tattoo.

If you want to get rid of a tattoo for the first time, you should go for this process. It can also help you if you have sensitive type of skin or have any concern about pigmentation.

2. Very Minor Area (1-3 cm)

In this type of treatment, small tattoos such as tiny line work, symbols or small initials are removed. These types of tattoos have less ink density and can usually fade much more quickly than bigger tattoos.

These are best for small symbols such as hearts or stars, small wrist tattoos and finger tattoos.

Laser removal is the technique that is used most commonly. Ink particles are broken down with the help of high-intensity laser beams.

Saline Tattoo Removal is another useful technique. It is a natural method where the ink is pushed out of the skin by injecting a saline solution. Tattoo Removal Creams are not as effective as these two methods but can lighten tattoos over time, if applied regularly onto the tattoo region.

3. Minor Area (4-8 cm)

It generally covers slightly bigger tattoos, such as a minimalistic quote, a small floral design or a name. More numbers of sessions are needed to treat these tattoos and remove them completely, as the ink density is more in these cases.

This is ideal for minimalist design tattoos, small quote tattoos and wrist or ankle tattoos. There are different types of treatment options to address slightly larger tattoos.

4. Intermediate Area (9-15 cm)

Intermediate tattoos are medium-sized tattoos. Generally, these are detailed designs or palm-sized patterns. You can see these commonly on the calf, shoulder or upper arm regions.

These are best for medium-sized animal tattoos, large mandala or floral designs and half-sleeve tattoos.

Various treatment options can be used to treat intermediate sized tattoos.

5. Major Area (16-20 cm)

Major tattoos are large in size and more detailed. These cover significant parts of the body such as the thigh, the back or the full sleeve region. Advanced laser techniques and multiple sessions are needed for the removal of major tattoos.

These are best for full-colour designs having deep ink layers, leg, upper arm or large back tattoos.

The treatment options for these types of tattoos include various methods. Combination Therapy can be used for quicker results and can use multiple treatments, such as laser plus dermabrasion.

6. Additional Area to Major (over 16-20 cm)

These are used for areas that extend beyond 16 to 20 cm. In such cases, for complete removal of tattoos, more numbers of sessions are needed. It is commonly used for leg, chest or full sleeve regions.

These are best to cover up tattoos that need to fade away before a new tattoo can be made on the same region. This type of treatment is also used for heavily inked, large areas or for full-body tattoo removal.

Various treatment options can be considered for these areas.

As you can see, there are multiple solutions available in modern tattoo removal treatments for tattoos of various sizes and for different skin types. The effectiveness of removal of tattoo depends on various factors such as location of the body, type of skin, depth of ink and colour of tattoo.
