Tattoo Removal
Laser tattoo removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses a Q-switched laser device to break down the pigment colors of an unwanted tattoo while causing minimal damage to surrounding tissue. Laser tattoo removal often requires multiple laser sessions.
Alternatively, tattoo removal surgery removes the tattoo with one procedure but results in some scarring, is higher risk, and less common.
Why get tattoo removal?
If you have an unwanted tattoo that makes you self-conscious or are unhappy with changes in your tattoo caused by the natural aging of your skin, tattoo removal may be right for you.
Benefits:
- Remove unwanted tattoos
- Get permanent results with minimal side effects and little to no downtime
- Improve your self-image and self-confidence
Considerations before getting a tattoo removal procedure
- Tattoo ink lives beneath the top layer of skin, making it difficult to remove and often requiring multiple laser sessions or, in some cases, surgical removal.
- Potential for scarring and changes in skin color or texture.
- Treatment areas may exhibit slight elevation, white discoloration, or pinpoint bleeding immediately after treatment.
- Laser tattoo removal is a non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime, while surgical tattoo removal involves incisions and may have slightly more downtime.
