Tattoo Removal:

|
It
seemed like a good idea at the time.
But people change, and the old tattoo
just doesn't fit with your new image.
Fortunately, Laser Tattoo
Removal System could
make your tattoo a thing of the
past. The system gives you non-invasive
advantages of laser treatment; plus,
better results than any other methods
on the market.

How
does it work?
The
Laser treatments use your body's own defense
mechanisms to remove the pigment. When the
tattoo was applied, your body encapsulated
the ink in the skin's collagen.
Laser energy breaks up the ink pigment into
smaller particles that, over a period of
weeks, are removed by your body. Larger
particles may require several treatments,
but the tattoo gradually fades.
Is
it dangerous?
Not in the hands of trained, qualified physicians.
How
long is a treatment session?
Depending on the size and location of the
tattoo, a typical session runs from 10 to
30 minutes.
Are
there alternatives to this system?
Yes, but none as effective or painless.
Surgical removal (excision) is expensive
and results in scarring. Other types of
lasers use carbon dioxide to physically
boil away the skin. Again, this is expensive
and leaves a scar. Finally, techniques that
use acid or abrasion to remove the tattoo
are often painful and may be dangerous.
Will
it remove my tattoo completely?
That depends on a number of factors. Tattoos
that contain yellow, red, or certain green
pigments can be difficult to remove. And
large or particularly thick tattoos, usually
applied by a professional tattoo artist,
can require many treatments for successful
removal.
What
will it cost?
The cost will depend on the number of treatments
required. That, in turn, depends on the
size of the tattoo and its location, depth,
and color. Professionally applied tattoos
tend to contain more ink than amateur versions
and usually require a greater number of
treatments - hence, higher costs.
