What is laser tattoo removal?
At Hollywood Dermatology and Cosmetic Specialists, patients can schedule a consultation appointment to speak to one of our providers about the options available to them for tattoo removal. Laser tattoo removal is a popular choice because it is proven to work. The process allows for patients to remove tattoos over the course of several treatments over several months. It is not a single appointment treatment. Instead, it requires commitment to successfully and fully remove the tattoo from the skin.
How does laser tattoo removal work?
Laser tattoo removal is achieve with regular appointments. The tattoo is treated with a laser device that is adjusted to the patient’s skin type. The laser light beams into the skin and to the ink of the tattoo, breaking it down. This allows the skin to absorb the ink safely and slowly fade away the tattoo. With each treatment, the tattoo will fade more and more.
How many treatments do I need?
The number of treatments will vary depending on several factors, including:
- Ink quality
- Ink color
- Length of time tattoo has been on the skin
- Patient’s skin color
