Treatment
Tattoo Removal
Safe, effective laser tattoo removal
Overview
Laser tattoo removal uses Q-switched or picosecond laser technology to break up tattoo ink particles into tiny fragments that are naturally eliminated by the immune system. Modern laser technology can safely and effectively remove most tattoo colors with minimal risk of scarring, delivering progressive clearing over a series of sessions.
How It Works
Ultra-short pulses of laser energy are directed at the tattoo, shattering the ink particles into microscopic fragments. The body's lymphatic system then gradually eliminates these fragments over 4–8 weeks between sessions. Multiple sessions are required as each treatment removes a layer of ink. Sessions are spaced 6–8 weeks apart.
What to Expect
Consultation includes assessment of the tattoo (size, colors, age, ink density) and an estimate of the number of sessions needed. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment. Most patients describe a snapping sensation during treatment.
Recovery
Redness, swelling, and blistering may occur and resolve within 1–2 weeks. Keep the area clean and moisturized. Avoid sun exposure to the treated area. Sessions are spaced 6–8 weeks apart to allow the body to eliminate ink fragments.
