Fall Victim to Inktober? Get Rid of Those Unwanted Tattoos with Laser Removal
What Is Inktober, and Why Do People End Up with Impulse Tattoos?
Inktober is a global art challenge that takes place every October, encouraging artists to create one drawing a day. It sparks creativity, but for some, that creativity leads to more permanent forms of expression: spontaneous tattoos. While meaningful in the moment, these impulse tattoos can lose their appeal or significance over time, and that’s where laser tattoo removal comes in.
What Is Laser Tattoo Removal?
Laser tattoo removal is a medical procedure that uses targeted light energy to break down tattoo ink particles beneath the skin. These particles are then naturally flushed out by your body’s immune system over time. At Revivify Medical Spa, this treatment is performed under the expert care of Dr. Lubna Elahi, ensuring safety and effectiveness every step of the way.
Unlike older removal methods that could damage the skin, modern laser technology offers a more precise, skin-friendly solution. The result? Your tattoo fades gradually, allowing your skin to recover and rejuvenate.
Why Choose Laser Removal Over Other Methods?
Laser removal stands out for its:
- Precision: Targets only ink pigments while preserving surrounding skin
- Versatility: Works on a wide range of ink colors and skin tones
- Flexibility: You can choose full removal or partial fading for a future cover-up
- Safety: Non-invasive, with minimal downtime and risk when done by trained professionals
At Revivify, we utilize state-of-the-art laser systems to treat tattoos safely and effectively, with protocols personalized to your needs by Dr. Elahi herself.
Is Laser Tattoo Removal Right for You?
You may be a good candidate if you:
- Have older tattoos that are starting to blur or fade
- Want to remove an unwanted or impulsive tattoo (hello, Inktober mishap)
- Are considering a tattoo cover-up and need lightening first
- Are in good general health, with no active skin infections or autoimmune conditions
Every tattoo is unique. That’s why we always start with a one-on-one consultation to assess your skin type, tattoo characteristics, and overall goals.
What to Expect: Sessions, Sensation, and Aftercare
Most clients require 5 to 10 sessions, spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart. Black ink responds fastest, while colored ink may need more time. Sessions are quick, usually 15 to 30 minutes, depending on tattoo size.
Clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin. We offer topical numbing and cooling technology to maximize comfort.
Post-treatment care includes:
- Keeping the area clean and dry
- Avoiding sun exposure
- Applying healing ointments as directed
Temporary redness, swelling, or scabbing is normal and typically resolves within a few days.
Want a Cover-Up Instead?
If you’re not ready to fully part with your ink but want a cleaner canvas for a new design, we can partially fade your tattoo to allow for a better, more vibrant cover-up. This is a common choice for people who still want ink, just something different.
