Tattoo Removal
Laser tattoo removal is the safest, quickest and most likely to leave your skin intact following treatment. Other treatment options are surgical excision, chemical peel, and traditional dermabrasion. These options are invasive and often result in scarring. Today's advanced laser technology provides the means for your tattoo to be removed safely and quickly and, in most cases, without leaving a scar.
Emitting laser or pulsed light, the laser hand device glides over the surface of the tattoo. The light energy vaporizes or fragments the ink particles and your body then absorbs these ink fragments naturally, and the color fades over a period of approximately two weeks. The size and color of the tattoo determine the length of treatment time. A tattoo the size of a quarter may take approximately 3-5 minutes to treat. Typically, multiple treatments will be required and are scheduled 4 to 8 weeks apart. Some patients experienced redness, swelling, tenderness, crusting, sunburn sensation or itching immediately following treatment.
