Tattoo Removal

Laser tattoo removal techniques can get rid of your unwanted tattoo with minimal side effects.

How It Works?

• Lasers remove tattoos by breaking up the pigment colors with a high-intensity light beam.
• Black tattoo pigment absorbs all laser wavelengths, making it the easiest color to treat.
• Other colors can only be treated by selected lasers based upon the pigment color.
• You should first schedule a consultation with a trained professional who can evaluate your tattoo and advise you on the process.
• The number of treatments you will need will depend on the age, size, and color(s) of your tattoo.
• The color of your skin, as well as how deep the tattoo pigment goes, will also affect the removal technique.
• Smaller tattoos will require fewer pulses while larger ones will need more to remove them. In either case, to completely get rid of a tattoo, it will take several treatments. After each visit, your tattoo should become progressively lighter.
• Laser tattoo removal is uncomfortable, but most patients don’t need anesthesia. Depending on the location of your tattoo, you may want to apply a topical anesthesia cream beforehand.
• Immediately following the treatment, use an ice pack to soothe the treated area. And apply an antibiotic cream or ointment and bandage to protect it.
• You should also be sure it’s covered with sunblock when you’re outside.
