How do laser treatments compare to other methods of tattoo removal?
Your other treatment options for removing your tattoo include surgical excision, dermabrasion (or sanding) and chemical peels. These methods are more invasive and painful, and can often result in scarring.
Laser tattoo removal is safer. It is non-invasive and only targets the ink used in the tattoo process.
What are the treatments like?
Some patients say they feel a slight sting, like the snap of a rubber band on the skin, followed by the feeling of sunburn. Many treatments do not require anesthetics. However, some patients feel more comfortable with a local numbing anesthetic cream.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments required for maximum improvement depends on the size, location, depth and color of your tattoo. Treatments should be spaced 4 - 8 weeks apart to allow your body to remove the maximum amount of tattoo pigment. Treatment sessions usually take from 10 to 30 minutes. Most patients will see improvement in their tattoos. The improvement can be quite dramatic. However, large or heavily pigmented tattoos applied by a professional tattooist can require 10 or more treatments for optimum results.

Having second thoughts about your tattoo?
If so, you're not alone. Every day, we see patients from every walk of life that have second thoughts about their tattoos. What once seemed like a good idea just doesn't fit your new image, and you wish it would just go away. Now, we can make your wish come true. Using our advanced laser system, we can remove your tattoo safely, rarely leaving a scar.
How are tattoos removed?
Medical lasers use an intense beam of light to significantly lighten or completely remove your tattoo. When the ink particles of your tattoo absorb the light from the laser, they are broken up into tiny fragments. These fragments are then absorbed through your body's natural cleansing mechanism. This cleansing process generally takes a few weeks. Larger ink particles may require multiple treatments. Typically, the treated area scabs over. After several days, the scab falls off taking the ink with it.
What will my skin look like after treatment?
Right after your treatment, your skin may have a white discoloration, and the area around the tattoo may be reddish and could have some swelling. This is normal and will disappear slowly over time. Maximum treatment results take about 4 weeks.
Are there any side effects?
Hypopigmentation, or a whitening of the skin, will occur. Since the ink used in tattooing is not regulated, some patients have only partial clearing even after several laser sessions.
