There are many reasons patients come to us for tattoo removal.
Tastes and styles change and you may feel that your tattoo is no longer a true expression of your inner self. Perhaps your tattoo was a momentary lapse of good judgement due to youthful exuberance, contains a spelling mistake due to artist error, or has outlasted a professed love. Or perhaps you simply wish to remove permanent make-up.
Whatever the reason, be it practical or emotional, we offer several options to effectively fade or completely remove tattoos.
For many years tattoos were considered to be permanent. If you had a tattoo from your teenage years, you were basically condemned to live with it for the rest of your life unless you opted to have it surgically excised, in which case you would have to then deal with a scar and possible scar removal treatments.
Fortunately, today lasers can be used to remove tattoos with minimal or no scars and no down time.
Tattoo removal lasers work by targeting specific colours (such as black, red, etc). The heat delivered by the laser will be selectively absorbed by the tattoo colour and destroyed without causing harm to surrounding tissue.
Other lasers precisely vaporize the tissues and allow leaching of remaining pigment out into covering dressings for more rapid removal. It is possible to effectively remove most tattoos.
