Tattoo Removal
How does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Tattoo removal operates on the principle of selective photothermolysis. By applying a specific laser wavelength to the tattooed skin, the ink absorbs the laser energy, leading to its breakdown. Over time, the body's natural healing mechanisms gradually remove the fragmented pigment. Achieving optimal results often requires multiple treatment sessions.
Laser Tattoo Removal With Spectra
Regarded as the premier method for tattoo removal, the Spectra utilizes brief, high-energy pulses to fragment tattoo ink into tiny particles that the body can absorb more easily. This advanced laser system effectively treats a broad spectrum of tattoo colors, depths, and intensities.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does laser tattoo removal hurt?
Laser tattoo removal treatment can cause discomfort, which varies depending on the treated body area and the individual's skin sensitivity. Patients often describe the sensation as similar to hot bacon grease popping on the skin or being snapped with a rubber band. We prioritizes patient comfort and offers options like topical or local anesthetics before treatment. These measures effectively reduce discomfort, making the laser procedure nearly painless for patients.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of laser treatments required depends on factors such as the size, age, depth, and complexity of the tattoo. Generally, homemade or amateur tattoos typically respond more quickly to treatment compared to professional tattoos. For instance, amateur tattoos may require as few as 1 or 2 treatments, whereas professional tattoos may necessitate 6 to 10 sessions or more to achieve optimal results.
What can I expect after laser tattoo removal treatment?
Laser removal treatments are typically scheduled with intervals of at least 4-6 weeks between sessions to ensure proper healing of the treated area. Immediately after treatment, the skin may appear white, followed by redness and eventual scabbing. It's crucial to keep the treated area moisturized and shielded from sun exposure during the healing process.
