LASER TATTOO REMOVAL
Laser Tattoo Removal
Tattoo removal allows for the removal of tattoos of various sizes, colors and shapes. Every tattoo is unique and results will vary from case to case, however tattoo removal offers cutting edge skin care technology that lightens and/or removes unwanted tattoos. During laser tattoo removal, laser technology is used to selectively target and break down tattoo ink within the skin without damaging surrounding tissue, which greatly decreases scarring. Lasers have differing wavelengths and pulse durations, and different laser beams are absorbed by specific colors, allowing us to choose the precise combination of lasers for the depth and color of a particular tattoo. After treatment the skin is more uniform and natural in appearance, although some changes in skin texture and color may be unavoidable.
What determines the success of Tattoo Removal?
Complete removal of a tattoo is based on several things. The size, location, application, age, and color of the tattoo all factor in, as well as the health of the patient and thus their body’s ability to heal. Newer tattoos are generally more difficult to remove.
How long does the procedure take?
Laser treatments take from ten to twenty minutes. Several treatments are needed to achieve the desired results. The number will vary depending on the depth and color of the tattoo, but eight to twelve treatments for one tattoo are not uncommon.
What is the cost of Laser Tattoo Removal?
Tattoo removal is considered a cosmetic procedure and is usually not covered by any medical insurance plans. Tattoo removal is much more expensive than tattoo placement. Laser tattoo removal can range from several hundred dollars to thousands of dollars depending upon the size, type, and location of the tattoo and the number of visits required. Our fee starts at $150.00 per treatment and goes up by varying size, color, and detail of the tattoo.
