How many tattoo removal treatments will I need?
The number of sessions needed for tattoo removal can vary significantly from person to person due to several influencing factors.
Tattoo Size and Density: Larger tattoos or those with densely packed ink typically require more sessions to achieve complete removal. Smaller tattoos may be removed in fewer visits.
Ink Color: Different ink colors absorb laser light differently, affecting how effectively they can be removed. Black ink generally responds well to laser treatment, while colors like green, yellow, and light blue may require more sessions for complete fading.
Age of the Tattoo: Older tattoos tend to break down more easily than newer ones. The ink used in newer tattoos may be more resistant to removal, requiring additional sessions.
Tattoo Location: The location of the tattoo on the body can impact the number of sessions needed. Areas with more blood flow, such as the chest or back, may respond more quickly to treatment than areas with less circulation.
How do I prepare for my laser hair treatment?
To prepare for your laser hair treatment, follow these guidelines:
Shaving: Shave the treatment area 24 to 48 hours before your appointment. This helps the laser target the hair follicles more effectively while minimizing the risk of skin irritation.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Refrain from sunbathing or tanning for at least four weeks before treatment. Sun exposure can increase the risk of side effects and reduce the efficacy of the treatment.
Avoid Skin Irritants: For a week prior to your treatment, avoid using harsh skincare products, chemical peels, or exfoliants on the treatment area.
Medications: Inform your practitioner about any medications or supplements you are taking, especially blood thinners or medications that increase sensitivity to light.
Limit Plucking and Waxing: Do not wax, pluck, or remove hair from the treatment area for at least four weeks before your appointment. This ensures that the hair follicles are intact for the laser to effectively target.
Hydrate: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment. Staying hydrated can help your skin respond better to the procedure.
Comfort and Clothing: Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment and avoid applying lotions, deodorants, or fragrances on the treatment area.

How does platelet-derived growth factor work?
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is crucial in hair restoration as it stimulates cellular processes for hair growth. Secreted by platelets, PDGF regulates cell growth, division, and blood vessel development. When applied to the scalp, it activates hair follicles by encouraging fibroblast proliferation, essential for tissue healing and regeneration. This process can reactivate dormant follicles, promoting hair growth in thinning or bald areas. PDGF also enhances blood vessel formation, improving blood flow to hair follicles, which supplies nutrients and oxygen. Clinical studies indicate that PDGF treatments can increase hair density and thickness, especially when combined with micro-needling or stem cell therapy. In summary, PDGF promotes follicle activation, enhances nutrient delivery, and supports hair regeneration processes.
