Our Procedures

Decorating the body with ink has been a common form of self-expression for many years. Unfortunately over time, the tattoo loses vibrancy, meaning, or one is simply ready for change. The best treatment available today is laser removal of tattoos. Laser tattoo removal has a very low risk of scarring, less painful, and better results than other methods, such as dermabrasion, cryotherapy or surgical excisions.

Lasers work by emitting a particular wavelength of light that passes through normal skin and is absorbed by the particles of ink in the dermal layer of skin. The tattoo absorbs the laser light, the particles of ink breakdown, and the ink particles are naturally cleared by the body.

Some colors are easier to remove. Blues, blacks, and reds are easier than greens. Fair-skinned clients require fewer treatments than darker-skinned patients. The amount of treatments will vary depending on color of tattoo, depth of inks, and skin color. Our protocol for treatment recommends three to six to treatments with an evaluation at each treatment to monitor progress.

Our tattoo removal procedure has little discomfort, if any. Treatments are scheduled every four to six weeks for best results. The most common side effect is decrease and uneven pigmentation of the skin, which resolves in a short time.
