"I thought when I got my tattoo at 18 that it was a great idea, but now that I am in my 30's it doesn't seem so great. Thanks to the awesome technology of lasers, I no longer need to live with it. "

Frequently Asked Questions: Laser Tattoo Removal
How does laser tattoo removal work?
Laser energy is passed through the outer layer of the skin, directly targeting the tattoo ink. The laser disrupts the ink allowing your body's immune system to break it down and get rid of it naturally. Our lasers are very accurate and can safely remove just the unwanted parts of a tattoo.
Can a tattoo with several colors be removed?
We have advanced techniques to remove most color tattoos. This includes more difficult colors such as green, yellow & sky blue.
Is there down time after treatment?
Most patients resume activities immediately following treatment. The treated area should be protected from sun exposure until the skin has healed.
How many treatments will I need?
There are several factors involved in determining how many treatments your particular tattoo will require. Most tattoos require between 5 to 12 treatments to remove.
Does the treatment hurt? How long does it take?
Some discomfort may be experienced during this procedure. An anesthetic (numbing) cream may be applied prior to treatment. Treatments are typically completed in 2 to 10 minutes.
Will I have a scar?
Scarring is extremely rare. However, it is a possibility with any medical procedure involving the skin. Following our doctor's aftercare instructions will greatly reduce your chances of scarring.
