Every day there seems to be a news story on a celebrity and their newest tattoo. A few years ago it was Angelina Jolie and her Billy Bob Thorton tattoo. Recently, John Mayer seems to have indulged by getting full sleeve tattoos. Some websites devote themselves to cataloging celebrity tattoos.
One of the things that is missing is a list of celebrities that might need tattoos removed! Not that we’d make the decisions for them… but can you really say that Dennis Rodman needs all of his body art? In case the post-basketball career of… whatever it is that he is doing now doesn’t work, he might need to clean up his act to get a real job.
Houston tattoo removal clinic New Look Laser Tattoo Removal is taking suggestions of celebrities who might need a bit of laser tattoo removal. Send in your suggestions to our email address (info@newlookhouston.com) and we’ll announce a winner in January. We’ll contact the celebrity’s publicist and see if we can’t get them into our Houston clinic for a free session….
One of the most important components of our free consultation for laser tattoo removal is the aftercare instructions. We provide all the information you will need to take care of your skin after a tattoo removal session. The instructions are fairly simple and include keeping the area covered with a guaze pad for three days while applying neosporin over the area three times a day. After the three days, leave the area open to the air and allow it dry out so that it heals up faster. Also, do not soak the area in water until all the scabbing and blistering is completely healed. You may take a shower like normal just minimize the amount of water in the treated area. There are several other suggestions in our aftercare instructions that we will provide during your laser treatment that can be viewed on our website.
Our frequently asked questions page on our website does a great job answering the most common questions regarding laser tattoo removal. We go over what kind of laser is used, how the ink is removed from the body, number of sessions needed, cost of treatment, side effects and several other aspects of tattoo removal. This is a great way to get a basic understanding of laser tattoo removal and expand on the aspects that you are most interested in.
A very common question that we get here at New Look is how long does it take for the skin to heal after a laser treatment. A short answer is that most of the healing takes place within the first 72 hours but it can take up to one to two weeks to heal completely after your first treatment and then it takes less time with each session. Here are some of the key factors that affect time of healing after a laser tattoo removal treatment:
1. How many treatments have you had?
2. How dense is the ink in your tattoo?
3. Are both the wavelengths of light needed for your laser tattoo removal treatment?
4. How well does your immune system respond to injury?
You will tend to heal faster and faster as you progress through your treatments. After your first laser tattoo removal session you may take from one week to two weeks to heal completely. After your second treatment it may only take you five days. After your third maybe only three days until you heal within 24 hours of your last treatment. As you progress in the number of treatments you have had, you have less ink which has a result of less damage to the skin.
Density of the ink is important because the more dense your tattoo is, the more the laser energy is absorbed and the longer it takes to heal. With a very old tattoo that is not very dense, it may only take five days to heal even after your first treatment.
If we go over your tattoo with both the 1064nm and the 532nm wavelength of light (usually because of colors or very, very faded black) it may take longer for you to heal as well. For instance, if you have a black tattoo that has been lasered four times to the point where it is very, very faded, we may decide to add the 532nm as well to get the last bit out. Since you have had two lasers go over the same area you will probably require slightly longer to heal than the previous treatment when we only used one.
The last thing that is important to talk about is the immune system. If your immune system is good shape because you are healthy then you will follow the general rule that it takes one to two weeks to heal after your first treatment and then less time as your treatments progress. However, if you have diabetes or other health problems it could take you slighty longer. Not to worry, everyone is usually healed, including having no scabs, after the first month. Most of the healing is done within the first 72 hours.
We have changed our office hours at New Look Laser Tattoo Removal in Houston. Our new hours of operation are Monday-Friday from 10am to 7pm with our last scheduled appointment being at 6:30pm.

The staff here at New Look Laser Tattoo Removal pride ourselves on being available for our tattoo removal patients. This takes several different forms – we are open Monday through Friday from 10am to 7pm. That’s five days a week, every week that we perform laser tattoo removal. That’s a big advantage for our patients – you don’t have to wait until the one day a month that we offer this treatment. We own (instead of rent) our lasers and patients benefit from our experience.
Another way we like to make ourselves available to our patients is responding the patient questions as quickly as possible. If patients wish to ask our certified laser specialists a question after their tattoo removal treatment is complete we do our best to respond as soon as possible.
