Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser energy is directed at the tattooed area for a fraction of a second, passing harmlessly through the outer layer of the skin and targeting the tattoo ink directly. The laser disrupts the ink, allowing your body to absorb it and break it down naturally.
The process is not immediate. After the treatment, the ink that was exposed to the laser will break down and be removed by your body's immune system over a period of weeks. Once that process is complete, you can come in for your next visit, repeating the process until the tattoo is gone. Most tattoos average 5 - 10 treatments for full removal. Some ink colors are harder to target and require more sessions. Because it is your body that actually breaks down the ink, every person's removal process will be different.
Does it hurt?
Laser tattoo removal is a low-risk outpatient procedure. The discomfort of the procedure using the Medlite C6 is much lower than other tattoo removal systems and has been described as less painful than when they got their tattoo. Prior to your treatment, we numb the area with a high power topical anesthetic cream. As we treat the area, we cool the overlying skin with our Zimmer skin cooler, which results in additional anesthesia. The combination makes the procedure as comfortable as possible.
