Rethink Your Ink

Changes in personal, social or work situations may motivate you to remove a tattoo. Advanced Dermatology offers clinically-proven laser tattoo removal, the only technique for tattoo removal that does not cause scarring.

The process uses specialized, micro-bursts of laser light energy, which are sent into the skin, targeting the tattoo’s ink particles. When the ink flecks absorb the laser energy, they fragment into even smaller pieces. Your body’s immune system removes the shattered ink particles over the following weeks, during which time the tattoo lightens.

Removal Without Scarring

Different colors of tattoo ink require different wavelengths of laser light for removal. Multiple treatments may be needed to completely remove your tattoo, depending on your skin type, location of the tattoo, ink colors, amount of ink used, and if the area was previously scarred.

It’s important to note that the original application of tattoos can cause scarring which, if present, will not be eliminated when the ink is removed. Other laser and skin resurfacing procedures offered by your Advanced Dermatology professional can be used to improve the appearance of existing scars.
