How are lasers used to eliminate tattoos?
Lasers are used to
destroy the pigments in the tattoo. Tattoo ink is a colored liquid
and when the laser attracts to the color it crystallizes the ink...making it a
hard substance. The body recognizes this crystal as a foreign object and either
digests (metabolizes) it or pushes it out through the skins surface, much like a
splinter. At the same time trying to keep scarring to a minimum.
The surface of the skin is
“transparent” to the laser beam while the heat of the laser focuses at the
precise level of the pigment. The pigment chars and breaks down into small
particles that are removed by the body’s immune system.

How popular is tattoo
removal?
According to surveys conducted by
two medical schools, one half of all people with tattoos have considered
removing them. Besides the obvious reasons of removing tattoos for career
enhancement, there are aesthetic reasons why many people elect to remove
tattoos. As skin ages, tattoos tend to fade and deform. A tattoo that once was
shown with pride may lose its attractiveness and, in some cases, even become an
embarrassment.

What are the traditional techniques for removing
tattoos?
Traditional techniques for permanent tattoo removal utilize
severe abrasion or incisions, both of which can result in significant permanent
scarring.
Dermabrasion - Do not confuse this with Micro-Dermabrasion. This
method involves abrasion of the top layers of skin until the middle layer, which
contains the actual tattoo pigment, is reached and exfoliated, removing the
unwanted tattoo with it. This can be achieved either through the use of chemical
agents, such as caustic acids or salt (“sal abrasion”), or actual sandpaper.
Dermabrasion has limited efficacy because tattoo ink is usually too deep in the
skin layers to be removed entirely with this method. Dermabrasion often causes
severe and traumatic permanent scarring that is less desirable or eye pleasing
than the original tattoo.
Cryosurgery - A physician
freezes the tattoo before peeling off the tattoo, a section at a time. Permanent
scarring generally results from cryosurgery and this
technique can only be used on small tattoos. It also does not work well on
“professional”
tattoos that typically inject the ink deeper into the skin.
Tissue Expansion
/ Staged Excision - This involves placing a balloon under the
patient's flesh. The balloon is inflated, allowing the skin to stretch slowly.
The tattoo is then cut out and the newly stretched skin is used to cover over
this excised flesh. This method leaves only a linear scar.
During staged excision a physician cuts out the tattoo, a section at a
time. Permanent scarring generally results from the scalpel incisions and this
technique can only be used on small tattoos. It also does not work well on
“home-made” tattoos that typically inject the ink deeper into the skin than
professional tattoos.

How effective is laser treatment for tattoo removal?
Laser treatment is
very effective on most types of tattoos and most colors. Generally, tattoos can be
totally eliminated by laser treatment, resulting in no residual dyes or
scarring. Laser tattoo removal is a new science and the latest models of lasers
are more effective than earlier models. The methodology is not simple. Different
frequencies must be used for different colors of tattoo ink. It is crucial that
the laser tattoo removal procedure be performed by an experienced operator who
has received specialized training for this procedure.

Are lasers a safe way to remove tattoos?
Laser tattoo removal is
safer and more effective than traditional tattoo removal techniques.
Lasers avoid the permanent scarring that often results from other types of
treatments. Lasers also eliminate the risk of infection that is inherent in
traditional tattoo removal techniques.
Permanent makeup - After 1 treatment
Is laser tattoo removal painful?
The heat produced by the laser procedure is localized to a
very small area but it can cause
some brief discomfort. For those
with sensitive skin, a topical anesthetic can be used. Cooling ice packs are
also used to reduce discomfort and swelling. Note: Utilizing the new
Zimmer Chiller will reduce the pain produced while
removing your tattoo...ask for it at your laser clinic or facility.
After 3 treatments - Martin Kassir, M.D.
Are there any side effects of laser tattoo removal?
After the laser procedure you may experience some
redness, swelling and scabbing
(sometimes blistering). This is a normal process as the body works to
eliminate the tattoo dyes. As new layers of skin grow, the old tattoo is pushed
towards the surface. It will eventually form a scab and then disappear, leaving
fresh new skin with no tattoo dyes.
After 1 treatment
How many treatments are required for laser tattoo
removal?
It generally takes between 6 - 12 laser treatments to
completely remove a tattoo, depending on the kind and color of ink used, the
client’s immune system, the size and location of the tattoo and whether it was
applied by a professional or an amateur (homemade).
Older and homemade tattoos can take between 1-3 treatments to completely
remove the ink.
After 1 treatment - Homemade
What is the cost for laser tattoo removal?
Laser treatments generally cost between $50 and $400 per
visit.
Small and homemade tattoos can be
charged as low as $50 - $100 per treatment.

Can I get an accurate estimate of the cost and
number of treatments?
Find a
CLS
provide you with afree initial
consultation where your qualified expert (CLS)
will diagnose your tattoo and perform a
patch test. While it is difficult to determine the true depth and chemical
composition of each dye, they can offer a fairly reliable estimate of the
total cost and number of visits required to totally eliminate the tattoo.

What should I look for when choosing a clinic to
perform laser tattoo removal?
Experience and professionalism
are the key qualities to seek in choosing a tattoo removal clinic. Also, a
clinic that has the newest
state-of-the-art equipment will get you treatments done quicker and
without the problems associated with older type of lasers. There are many
variables that effect the outcome of the treatment such as, depth of the
pigments, type of needle used to apply the tattoo, area of the body to be
treated, chemical composition of the dyes, skin type and skin sensitivity.
Laser technology has proven that tattoos do not need to be permanent. However,
an incorrect procedure or an inexperienced operator can cause permanent scarring
when removing the tattoo.
