Tattoo Removal
The decision to obtain a tattoo has become increasingly popular, however so has
the decision to remove them! With today’s advanced laser technology, we provide
the means for your tattoo to be removed safely and quickly and, in most cases, without
leaving a scar.
Cosmetic medical lasers are designed to eradicate tattoos ranging from a single
wavelength of light to a broad spectrum of light. The light energy in these wavelengths
help vaporize or fragment the ink particles without damaging the skin. Your body
then absorbs these ink fragments naturally and the color fades over the next number
of weeks. Certain colors of light are absorbed by specific corresponding colors
of the tattoo ink.
Laser tattoo removal is a safe and fast treatment. It is a quick, effective and
tolerable. As with most laser treatments there are possible side effects. Side effects
you may experience are; redness, swelling, tenderness, crusting, sunburn sensation,
or itching following treatment.
The number of treatments required is determined by the size, color, location and
age of the tattoo. Due to the various levels of professionalism and the different
types of inks used, the results of the treatments will vary from patient to patient.
Most tattoos will require multiple treatments that will be scheduled 6 to 12 weeks
apart.
