Tattoo Removal
Tattoo removal is performed using laser therapy and the process of the patient's immune system which removes pigment fragments naturally. Lasers provide high levels of energy over very short periods of time allowing for the reduction of unwanted tattoos. For a tattoo removal to be successful it may require anywhere from three to ten treatments depending on the size, depth, intensity of the ink, line width, and color of ink. The surgeon you choose will evaluate your situation and provide you with an estimate of treatments, price, and more procedure details.
