Have an unwanted tattoo?
Don’t fret, lasers can be used to remove them!
Laser Tattoo Removal
Lasers have been used for years to remove tattoos.
Frequently-Asked Questions:
- How does it work?
The laser works by destroying the cells in our skin that are holding the coloured tattoo pigments. Once those pigments are out of the cell, they will be removed by the body.
2. How long will it take to remove my tattoo?
In general, 6 to 12 treatments, done every 6-8 weeks, will be needed to have significant lightening of the tattoo.
Limitations of using a laser to remove tattoos do exist. In particular, green colour pigments are difficult to remove.
3. Will it hurt?
Tattoo removal can be uncomfortable. However, we are able to minimize pain using maximum strength numbing cream and cooling of the skin.
For even greater relief of pain, a local anesthetic can be given for small to moderate size tattoos.
4. Will there be complications?
Unfortunately, laser removal of a tattoo is not without its complication.
There are possible side effects such as blisters, bleeding spots, hyper-pigmentation or skin texture changes.
