Auch in dieser Aufnahme sehen wir eine Cover Up Tattoo Vorbereitung bei Dermacare Wien, wo ein Laser verwendet wird, um die Farbe eines Tattoos auf dem Oberarm aufzuhellen. Die feinen Linien des schwarz tätowierten Motivs, das eine Feder zeigt, werden mit einem roten Laserpunkt markiert, um die Pigmente aufzuhellen. Dies ist ein entscheidender Schritt, um dunkle Tätowierungen vor einem neuen Cover Up Tattoo aufzuhellen, sodass das neue Design ohne störende Überlagerungen gestochen werden kann.

What is a cover up tattoo and what is the preparation for?

A cover-up tattoo is a special technique in which an existing tattoo is covered with a new design. The new design covers the old lines and colours. The new tattoo is often larger and in darker colours to completely cover the old one. However, especially with very dark or detailed tattoos, it can be difficult to make the new design clearly visible and aesthetically pleasing. This is where cover-up tattoo preparation comes into play.

Why is preparation important?

A common challenge with a cover-up tattoo is that the old tattoo can show through the new one, especially with dark or dense designs. To avoid this and give the tattoo artist more creative freedom, it makes sense to lighten the old tattoo beforehand. The lightening process is usually carried out using laser treatment, such as that offered by Dermacare.

State-of-the-art laser treatment at Dermacare Vienna

For cover-up tattoo preparation in Vienna, Dermacare relies on precise tattoo lightening with the ultra-modern PICOPLUS laser. Similar to a complete tattoo removal, the colour pigments are selectively faded so that the new motif can be engraved without any problems. The laser penetrates the skin layers and breaks down the colour pigments into tiny particles, which the body then breaks down.

With its pico- and nanosecond technology, the PICOPLUS can treat almost all colours effectively and requires around 30 % fewer sessions than conventional systems. The treatment is less painful and ensures rapid healing, so that the old tattoo is significantly paler and optimally prepared for the new cover-up after just a few sessions.

Preparation for the cover up tattoo

Cover up tattoo preparation begins with a detailed consultation. In consultation with the Dermacares laser expert, it is decided which parts of the old tattoo need to be lightened. Depending on the size and colour of the tattoo, several sessions may be required to achieve the desired result. After each session, the skin needs a few weeks to recover and the colour pigments to break down.

The laser treatment can be somewhat painful depending on the colour, depth and size of the old tattoo. However, many patients find the treatment tolerable, especially when an anaesthetic cream is applied.

Aftercare

After the laser treatment, the right care is crucial in order to optimally regenerate the skin. The treated area should be cooled well and treated with anti-inflammatory creams. Blisters or scabs must not be scratched open to avoid scarring. Sunbathing, swimming and saunas should also be avoided for several weeks.

For a successful cover-up tattoo, it is important to wait for the healing process. It is often recommended to wait at least 4 to 6 months after the last laser treatment before getting a new tattoo. The longer the skin can heal, the better the final result of the cover up will be.

The right preparation for a successful cover-up tattoo

A cover-up tattoo can transform an old, unloved tattoo into a completely new work of art. However, without the right preparation, the old tattoo can have a negative impact on the new design. With a professional lightening laser treatment at Dermacare in Vienna, you can create the ideal foundation for your new tattoo.

✨ Perfekte Entfernung meines Permanent Make-ups ✨Ich habe bei Dermacare mein Augenbrauen-Permanent-Make-up entfernen lassen, das viel zu dunkel und dick gestochen wurde. Dank Herrn Yusupov, der mit großer Zuversicht und Kompetenz an die Behandlung herangegangen ist, habe ich mich sofort wohlgefühlt und keine Sekunde gezögert.Bereits nach nur drei Sitzungen war ich komplett tattoofrei – und das ohne Verfärbungen, Haarausfall oder Narben! Anfangs hatte ich große Bedenken, aber Herr Yusupov hat mir alles genau erklärt und mir die Angst genommen. Jetzt ärgere ich mich fast, dass ich so lange mit dem misslungenen PMU herumgelaufen bin.Besonders hervorzuheben ist auch die unkomplizierte und flexible Terminvergabe. Ich kann Dermacare wirklich jedem empfehlen, der eine professionelle und sichere PMU-Entfernung sucht.Vielen Dank – ich bin so happy mit meinem Ergebnis! 🙏

Angenehme Atmosphäre, moderne Ausstattung. Im Institut wird auf hohe Professionalität und Seriosität wertgelegt. Dr. Yusupov berät ausführlich vor der Tattooentfernung, die zuverlässig wirkt. Die Behandlung durch Kosmetikerin Dilara geht auf Fragen und individuelle Problemstellung ein und arbeitet sorgfältig.
