Laser Tattoo Removal
Tattoos are meant to be permanent. However, they don’t necessarily have to be. If you are rethinking a tattoo, laser tattoo removal can help you look and feel your best again. At our state-of-the-art med spa, we use the most advanced laser technology to significantly fade unwanted tattoos of any color and any size quickly and safely. Each tattoo removal procedure is performed by a member of our team that is trained and experienced with achieving results as safely and painlessly as possible.
About Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser tattoo removal is widely regarded as the gold standard in tattoo removal. The non-invasive procedure involves using small microbursts of laser light to break up the ink in a tattoo. This is accomplished without harming the surrounding skin. Once the pigment is broken up, your body will absorb it naturally and the tattoo will disappear over time. It takes several sessions for tattoos to be completely removed (typically four to 10 treatments). The exact number of treatments will depend on a number of factors, including the color, age and size of your tattoo, and your skin tone. Ideally, treatment sessions should be spaced four to eight weeks apart. You should see results after each session, and your tattoo will gradually fade until it is hardly visible. Prior to your procedure, a member of our team will meet with you one-on-one to analyze your tattoo and skin type, and then discuss the proper treatment plan.
What to Expect During Laser Tattoo Removal
Our team’s goal is to make your tattoo removal experience as comfortable and painless as possible. Prior to treatment, the targeted area will be numbed with a topical anesthetic cream or an injection of local anesthetic to minimize discomfort. The laser’s handpiece will be glided over the tattoo, emitting short bursts of high-intensity light onto the surface layers of the skin. Your technician will repeat this step until the entire tattoo has been treated. Once the procedure is completed, we will apply a cold compress onto the treatment area, as well as an antibiotic, if necessary.
Side effects of laser tattoo removal are minimal but include mild swelling, blistering and a mild sunburn-like sensation after treatment. After your procedure, we will provide you with a list of guidelines outlining how to take care of the treated area, including how long to avoid sun exposure.
