FAQs

How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?

Lasers emit safe yet powerful, single wave-length beams of light. Laser light, properly utilized, can pass harmlessly through skin layers to reach the ink in your unwanted tattoo. The ink particles are broken down into many smaller ink particles. The smaller particles are processed by the body’s natural cleansing mechanism and removed.

Does the tattoo removal procedure hurt?

Our patients describe the removal process as equivalent to the discomfort they experienced when their tattoo was originally applied. However, we use a Zimmer Chiller to cool the skin and maximize comfort. Also, as medical doctors we can apply a topical anesthesia if needed for patients with hypersensitive skin.

How many treatments will I need?

Multiple treatments are required. Ink clears gradually with treatments. Treatments are separated in time from 6-8 weeks to several months depending upon the tattoo. Over time, the tattoo color appearance fades.

Does my tattoo size determine how many treatments I’ll need?

No. Most people mistakenly believe that a tattoo’s size determines the number of treat­ments needed. Other factors are more important. Certain color inks and the style of tattoos are more challenging to remove and may require more treatments than others.
