Skin Care: Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser Tattoo Removal PA and NJ
The Center for SmartSkin is now offering laser tattoo removal. If you are having second thoughts about your tattoo we can help you. Every day, we see patients from every walk of life that have second thoughts about their tattoos. What once seemed like a good idea just doesn't fit your image, and you wish it would just go away. Now, at the Center for SmartSkin, we can make your wish come true. Using our advanced laser system, we can remove your tattoo safely without leaving a scar.
Tattoo removal is accomplished by using medical lasers use an intense beam of light to significantly lighten or completely remove your tattoo. Different wavelengths of light treat different colors of ink. When ink particles of your tattoo absorb the light from the laser, they are broken up into tiny fragments. These fragments are then absorbed through the body's natural cleansing mechanism. This cleansing process generally takes a few weeks. Larger ink particles may require multiple treatments. Some patients say they feel a slight sting, like the snap of a rubber band on the skin, followed by the feeling of sunburn. Many of our laser tattoo removal treatments do not require anesthetics. However, some patients feel more comfortable with a local numbing agent like ice or an anesthetic cream. For others, a local anesthetic injection may be beneficial.
The number of laser tattoo removal treatments required for maximum improvement depends on the size, location, depth and color of your tattoo. Treatments should be placed 4 to 8 weeks apart to allow your body to remove the maximum amount of tattoo pigment. Tattoo removal treatments sessions usually take from 10 to 30 minutes.
Most patients will see improvement in their tattoos. The improvement can be dramatic. However, large or heavily pigmented tattoos applied by a professional tattooist can require several treatments for optimum results.
We serve the areas of Philadelphia, Bucks County, Langhorne and other areas of PA and NJ including Mercer County.
