Laser Tattoo Removal

Our laser employs various wavelengths that target the ink that is suspended in the skin. The quick laser pulses heat the pigment, rupturing the cells that contain the ink. The ruptured cells are then cleared from the skin by the body’s natural healing processes and new, healthy ink-free cells are formed. It is this precise combination of your body’s own healing processes, triggered by a powerful, targeted laser treatment that removes the ink from the tattoo site and flushes it out of your body through the lymphatic system.

Our laser can remove a variety of tattoos; however, the number of treatments required can only be determined during your consultation. For example, amateur tattoos are generally less saturated and contain lighter inks, making these tattoos easy to remove in a few sessions. Whereas permanent makeup inks may take even more sessions. Permanent makeup often uses red, brown, and white pigments containing titanium dioxide and iron oxide. These compounds are more difficult to remove, so removal of permanent makeup often requires additional sessions. Professional tattoos are notorious for a wide range of chemical compositions and inorganic substances such as chromium green, cobalt blue, or cadmium yellow. These are known to cause adverse skin reactions and take a number of treatments to remove. Your practitioner will thoroughly review all factors and estimate the number of treatments your tattoo removal requires during your complimentary consultation.
