Will the tattoo completely disappear?
Yes. Greater than 95% fading of the tattoo may be accomplished. However, it is important to know that there are many, types of tattoo inks in use worldwide today, none of which are regulated by the FDA. Not knowing which tattoo ink was used, or how deeply it was applied, makes it impossible of us to predict the degree of removal on any given tattoo.

What type of post-treatment care is necessary?
Occasionally, there will be pinpoint bleeding associated with the treatment. The treated area should be kept clean. A shower can be taken the next day, although the treatment area should never be scrubbed. If a scab forms it is vital that you do not pick it or scratch it.

How many treatments will it take to remove a tattoo?
On the average, professional tattoos require 6-8 treatments, while amateur tattoos require 4-5 treatments, all spaces approximately 6-8 weeks, apart. The number of treatments depends on the amount and type of ink used, and the depth of the ink in the skin.

Do all colors of ink disappear as well?
Dark (blue, black) and red inks will resolve the best. Oranges and purples usually fade as well. Green and yellow inks are the most difficult to remove, and additional treatments are needed to produce significant fading.

Is the process painful?
The laser emits light in very short pulses. The impact of the energy from the powerful pulse of light is similar to the snap of a small rubber band on the skin. The majority of patients do not require anesthesia.
