Your old tattoo has a good reason for being removed, whether it is a tat of your favorite band’s name or your ex’s initials.

What Are the Benefits of Treatment?

Enlighten III lasers offer superior technology and consistently produce attractive results. By adjusting the laser’s wavelengths and pulse lengths, we can customize your laser treatment to match your skin tone, skin color, and tattoo ink shades. Ink is gradually degraded in the skin to accelerate tattoo removal with lightning-quick pulses that last less than a second.

Ink in the lower layers of your skin is targeted by the laser beam as it passes through your epidermis. As a result of each precise blast, the tattoo ink molecules are broken down. A laser is adjusted based on your ink pigment and base skin tone, reducing the risk of discoloration or burning, which is common with less advanced lasers. In particular, darker skinned patients benefited the most from these lasers.

You can resume your normal activities immediately after your session is over. The lymphatic system of your body will begin to clear destroyed ink molecules from the treated area during the next few weeks. Your tattoo will be completely removed over the course of your personalized removal plan as more and more ink is removed from the tattoo.

Is it a long process?

Considering tattoos are permanent, they can be difficult to remove. In order to ensure that the laser can target the entire piece, we typically divide the removal process into at least two sessions. To allow your skin to heal and allow your body to flush the ink molecules out of your system, each appointment is at least two weeks apart.

Depending on the size of the piece, it may take from three to eight sessions to achieve the results you desire. The ink molecules will have broken down due to the natural aging process and the passage of time if your tattoo is older. There may be a need for more sessions, however, for newer pieces that are more resistant.

We will evaluate your tattoo after each session to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Depending on the size of your tattoo, the color of the ink, and when it was done, your removal plan will be adjusted as needed. When you have a consultation with our doctor, he or she can provide you with an indication of the length of time it will take for your removal.
