Many people choose to have decorative tattoos in youth, but later regret this decision. Laser removal has become the treatment of choice.

Unlike other tattoo removal treatments, laser surgery is completely non-invasive and the most likely to keep skin intact and looking healthy. Cosmetic medical lasers vaporize ink fragments in the tattoo, causing them to fragment and the body to absorb them naturally. A quarter-sized tattoo can take as little as 3-5 minutes to treat, but a minimum of approximately 8-10 repeat treatments will probably be necessary. Due to their complexity, color schemes, and depth, professional tattoos will be harder to remove than the homemade variety.

At Derma Laser Centers, we offer the new Ultralight 11 Q-Switched laser for tattoo removal. This laser targets tattoo ink and rapidly heats it, causing the ink to expand and break up into smaller particles. The body is able to then absorb the small ink fragments and carry them away.
