Tattoo Removal for Seniors

It wasn’t that long ago, when people with unwanted tattoos were essentially stuck with them, barring brutal surgical methods. Consequently, thousands of people who were tattooed between the 1940s and early 1960s (now in the current “senior” age range) have lived with them to this day. But just because someone is in their advanced years, doesn’t mean that they have to live with the blemish on their personal aesthetic record.

In fact, today’s seniors are more vibrant than those from all generations prior. They have greater fashion sense, are in better shape, travelling more, and proudly showing off their bodies without regard for antiquated notions about what is and isn’t acceptable based upon what dates are inscribed on birth certificates.

What to Know About Laser Tattoo Removal for Seniors in Vancouver, BC

Is Laser Treatment Safe for Seniors?

Laser tattoo removal is generally safe for those aged 65 years and older. That being said, overall health and skin condition are more important than age itself. While the skin may be more delicate and require adjustments to the treatment plan, our advanced PicoSure laser system can be adapted for older skin. During your initial and FREE consultation, we will discuss factors such as immune health, existing skin conditions, and medications you may be taking before proceeding with procedures.

Is Laser Effective for Very Old Tattoos?

Seniors who come to us generally do so for tattoos that were applied decades ago. Some wonder if the age of the ink makes a difference. You’ll be pleased to know that it is typically easier to remove old tattoos with a laser than new tattoos. Older body art tends to fade naturally over time as the body's immune system breaks down ink particles, making it more conducive to laser removal.

Don’t Pay for a Consultation

Some laser removal clinics demand payment for senior tattoo removal consultations. Perhaps they assume you’re simply “kicking tires” and not serious about getting treatment? In either case, find peace of mind that NIXX offers FREE noncommittal consultations for cherished members of society such as yourself. All that you need to do is fill out our easy booking form or call us to book your consultation by phone.
