If you have a tattoo, you are not alone. An estimated 20 million Americans sport tattoos. If you want it removed, you are also not alone-about half of those with tattoos report that they would now like their tattoo to disappear, but without a disfiguring scar left in its wake.
Laser technology has made great strides in eliminating tattoos, so this is a good time to seriously consider tattoo removal. Everything from small, single-color tattoos to large, multi-color tattoos can now be significantly faded, if not completely erased, by the beams of light produced by the lasers. There is little risk of scarring or loss of pigmentation that other lasers and technologies can cause.
Removing a small tattoo of one color may take one or two sessions, while multicolored tattoos may take several sessions, depending on their size and type of ink. Sessions are usually spaced 4 - 8 weeks apart and are performed in the doctor's office without the costs and risks of hospitalization or general anesthesia. We provide cold air anesthesia if necessary. We also have one of the few Lasers that can treat most colors, including stubborn green colors.
The appearance of the treated area immediately after a laser session will vary from patient to patient, depending on the extent of treatment. Immediate after effects may include redness, light crusting, or tenderness, all of which disappear in a short time.
