Earlier methods in tattoo removal involved dermabrasion, salabrasion, surgery and CO2 lasers. These procedures left scars or lighter skin in place of the tattoo. With our YAG laser, light passes through the skin to be absorbed by the ink. This causes the tattoo ink to break down.
- How many treatment sessions will it take to remove the tattoo? Professional tattoos may require seven to 10 treatments. Homemade tattoos usually require only two to five treatments. Sessions are spaced six to eight weeks apart.
- Do all colors of ink disappear equally? No. Dark inks (like blue or black) and red inks fade best. Oranges, yellows, and purples usually respond well. Green, light teal and sky blue inks are the most difficult to remove. However, multiple treatments can produce excellent results.
- Will the tattoo disappear completely? In many cases, yes it will.
- How much does the treatment cost? Fees determined during your consultation are based on overall size of the tattoo.
