Tattoo Removal

The Dermatologists of Dermatologic Laser Center are experts in the field of tattoo removal. Tattoos have long been considered a decoration. For over 5, 000 years, people have applied artistic symbols and or custom artwork to their bodies. Undoubtably, many have attempted tattoo removal for nearly as long. Early attempts to remove tattoos were largely unsuccessful. Over the years, dermabrasion, salt abrasion, and Argon Lasers were used with poor results.

Benefits of Tattoo Removal:

  • Very Little Pain; Feels Like Rubber Band Snapping
  • Little or No Scarring
  • Usually 95% or Better Clearing

The MedLiteIV (Q-Switched Nd:YAG) laser removes the ink of the tattoo with the energy of light. The laser produces specific wavelengths of light which causes the ink to break into tiny particles and is absorbed into the body’s natural filtering system. This provides tattoo removal without harming the surrounding skin. Professional, homemade, traumatic, and surgical tattoos can be removed with the MedLite IV. Dark blue, black, and red ink resolves best. Orange and purple colors usually fade well also. Green and yellow hues are the hardest to remove and sometimes require additional treatments. How many treatments will it take? Contact Us to schedule a tattoo removal consultation.
