Removing a tattoo is not an easy task.

With the right method and expert to carry it out, however, it can be very simple. There are various steps to removing a tattoo. If you’re reading this article, it is very likely that you have a tattoo you’ve fallen out of love with and want to take. If that is the case, you’ve got our full support. You may have gotten a tattoo for reasons that don’t sit right with you anymore, or your tattoo artist didn’t do a great job, and as a result, you want to take it off.  The good news is that tattoo removal today is easier than ever.

However, here’s a few things you need to know about tattoo removal before undertaking the process.

Once it’s out, you can’t bring it back!

You need to be sure of your decision to take off your tattoo, because once you do so, there’s no way to bring it back unless you get a new one.

Have realistic expectations

Everybody’s expectation is to see their formerly tattooed skin extremely fresh like it never had been a tattoo on it. Tattoo removal is different for everybody, and certain factors will affect how clean your end result would be. Factors that range from your skin type to the tattoo size and the speed with which your body recovers, and so on.

The first step is to sign a tattoo removal patient or consent form. This form is a sign that you have been informed about your procedure, its risks, and benefits. This form is confidential between the patient and the specialist. It gives the specialist permission to perform the tattoo treatment process on the patient. After signing the tattoo removal form, you are now free to proceed to the other steps of tattoo removal.

Next important step is to decide what method to use.

You will experience some discomfort

How much pain you experience throughout this process would depend on how much pain you can tolerate. Although tatto removal is not as painful as compared to what was experienced in the past, it will still cause some discomfort. The good news is, at Precision Laser, we provide expert services as well as ways to minimize discomfort to the least.

The Laser Type

The type of laser that is used during your tattoo removal process will affect the end result.

Laser tattoo removal is a process

When removing a tattoo using the laser method, the ink is broken down into small particles which the body’s immune system can remove with time. The laser method usually focuses on the ink tattoo only and not the surrounding skin. After the light has broken down the ink, the body now starts to work on the remaining ink. It might take a while before the tattoo is completely faded. Different tattoos often require a different number of treatments. When using laser treatment, it is recommended to space the sessions at least 6 to 8 weeks to allow for the fading to occur.

After a maximum of 8 visits or after a period of 8 months you will realize that your tattoo is faded or might not even be there. However, 4 treatments are recommended as too much of them may cause injury to the skin. There are some things to avoid during the treatment process and they include smoking, sun, and alcohol.

6 Reasons to Try Cannabis Edibles

mm

Published

on

Are you looking for a reason to try cannabis edibles? If you’re wondering if there are benefits to edibles that you can’t get with other forms of cannabis, the answer is yes. Here are some of the best reasons to try cannabis edibles.

  1. Some edibles are boosted

When you smoke cannabis flower, you’re only getting cannabis. That’s not a bad thing, but there are brands that sell edibles that have been boosted with other ingredients. For instance, you’ve probably seen capsules with added herbs to help you sleep – the same is true for edibles. 

One of the newer enhanced cannabis edibles are the Bits adaptogen-boosted edibles. These new cannabis edibles contain just 5mg of THC per Bit so you don’t overdo anything. Each flavor is packed with a unique blend of adaptogens like ashwagandha, reishi, elderflower, lemon balm, ginseng, guarana, and rose hip.

Why adaptogens? Adaptogens have been proven to have a positive impact on the central nervous system by decreasing sensitivity to stressors. In other words, adaptogens reduce stress and anxiety and contribute to an overall sense of wellbeing. When you consume cannabis edibles boosted by adaptogens, you’re going to feel more relaxed.

  1. Edibles provide precise and consistent dosing

One of the best reasons to try edibles is for precise and consistent dosing. When edibles are made, the cannabis is thoroughly and evenly mixed in, so each serving has the intended dosage when the final product is made. In addition, premium cannabis brands like Verano lab test each batch to ensure quality and consistency with all of their products, including cannabis edibles. 

When you smoke flower, you won’t always get the same amount of THC. It’s nearly impossible to know how much THC or CBD you’re getting from smoking flower. Even when you smoke the same strain in the same amount, the THC and other cannabinoids are distributed unevenly throughout each bud. 

If precise and consistent dosing is important to you, then edibles are going to be your favorite cannabis delivery method.

  1. Edibles are tasty

Edibles taste good, so why not try them? It’s just like eating a snack or a treat, but with a purpose. If you’ve avoided trying cannabis tinctures or oil because you don’t like the flavor, that’s understandable. Edibles are different because the taste of cannabis itself can be easily masked. 

Brands go out of their way to come up with recipes that taste good because they know some people don’t like the strong flavor of cannabis. Edibles like brownies, cookies, and chocolate bars usually just taste like any other cookie, brownie, or chocolate bar. Premium cannabis brands will also use quality ingredients to produce the best cannabis-infused gummies, hard candies, and baked goods.

  1. Edibles are easy to carry

If you want to carry your cannabis around discreetly, that’s easiest with edibles. They usually come in smaller packages that you can fit into a pocket or bag, and edibles are easy to eat without anyone suspecting you’re consuming cannabis.

When carrying edibles, be smart about where you bring them. Make sure you know where you can and can’t have them. If you’re headed to the airport of a government building, for example, you’ll want to leave your edibles at home. 

  1. The effects of edibles last for a long time

Smoking flower is great when you need relief quickly, but when you want the effects to last a long time, edibles are your best option. When you ingest cannabis, it takes longer for the effects to kick in, but those effects will last for a much longer time. You also don’t need to consume as much cannabis to get these long-lasting effects.

Everyone is different, and the timing depends on a multitude of factors like our metabolism and whether you’ve eaten or have an empty stomach. However, in general, it takes between 30 minutes and 4 hours to start feeling the effects of edibles. From there, the effects can last a few hours or even up to twelve hours. This is why many people take edibles before going to bed – getting that full impact while they sleep makes them wake up feeling incredibly rested.

  1. Edibles are a great alternative to smoking

Although smoking cannabis is probably the most popular consumption method, it’s not for everyone. Edibles won’t expose you to the potentially harmful effects of smoking. If you’ve been avoiding trying cannabis because you thought you had to smoke it, edibles are the perfect opportunity for you to try cannabis. 

Already familiar with edibles? Try something new

If you’ve been consuming cannabis edibles for a while, maybe it’s time to try something new. If you’ve always been into baked goods, branch out and try some beverages, chocolate bars, or even an adaptogen-boosted cannabis gummy for example. There are plenty of edibles to choose from so you can be sure you’ll find something new that you can enjoy.
