Say Goodbye To Your Tattoo
“What was I thinking?” When it comes to tattoos, we hear that a lot. Sometimes the decisions we make spur-of-the-moment don't always end up being for the best.
That snake on your upper arm or the butterfly on your lower back that you thought was so cool when you were 18 doesn't represent who you have become as an adult. Fortunately for you, we can help. A series of laser tattoo removal treatments can eliminate the traces of an impulsive decision that you made in the past.
Older methods of tattoo removal, such as dermabrasion, invasive incisions or skin grafting can leave unsightly scars and be very traumatic, as well as painful, for the individual.
But the new Q-switched lasers provides a safe and effective way of removing tattoos. This method works for amateur, professional and permanent, cosmetic tattoos.
Dark blue and black ink are best suited for the Q-Switched laser, however, red and orange inks are easily targeted as well. This laser delivers very high energy pulses of light that break down the pigment in the tattoo so that the body can flush them out on its own.
There are very few side effects and the majority of patients require no anesthesia, although topical anesthetic is an option for sensitive areas.
The Q-Switched laser is presently the treatment-of-choice for people seeking the best, most effective laser tattoo removal method.
In determining the number of treatments necessary, the physician considers such factors as the location of the tattoo, the patient's age, and skin type.
