What is laser tattoo removal?

Dr. Dennis Dass describes laser tattoo removal as a procedure to break down the ink of a tattoo to eliminate it from the skin. The laser device, the PicoSure laser, is safe and effective and is approved by the FDA. It is used on the skin to provide amazing results when used by a professional who is trained and experienced in providing laser therapies.

How does laser tattoo removal work?

Lasers have been used for many years in medicine. This specialized light can address many issues within the human body. Fortunately, it has been found that this laser light can also target ink pigmentation in the skin that is used to create a tattoo. The laser breaks down the ink, allowing the body to naturally absorb it. Over time, the tattoo fades and then is fully removed when patients follow the instructions for complete tattoo removal from Dr. Dennis Dass.

Is tattoo removal successful?

It is important for patients to understand that laser tattoo removal is only successful when patients follow the instructions from Dr. Dennis Dass. Laser tattoo removal is not a “once and done” procedure. Instead, it requires patients to come in for several sessions over time for treatments until the tattoo has been successfully eliminated. For some patients, this may be a few treatments, while for others, it may be more of a long-term process. This is because each trip to the office results in a breakdown in the ink. Slowly but surely, the inks are absorbed. Patients are urged to make appointments several weeks apart until they achieve the results they desire. Some patients are seeking just a reduction in the appearance, so they can place a tattoo over the top, while others want it removed entirely. There are several factors affecting how successful treatment is:

• Ethnicity of the skin
• Color of the inks used
• Length of time the tattoo has been on the skin
• Location of the tattoo
• Quality of tattoo inks used

Is tattoo removal affordable?

Affordability of procedures is relative. For one patient, a procedure may be out of reach due to their budget, while others can pay cash for their treatment upfront. Our practice offers payment plans for patients who are interested in more expensive procedures. Discussing the cost of treatment should be done during the initial consultation to determine if it is attainable for an individual.

How long does it take to eliminate a tattoo?

This varies from patient to patient as well, and can be affected by the factors listed above for success. Patients with darker ethnic skin may notice results faster than a fair-skinned patient. Additionally, the factors involved with the tattoo ink, including the color, depth, and quality, can impact how long it will take to successfully remove a tattoo. Many of these factors cannot be determined prior to starting treatment, so discussing how long it may be before results are seen is something that should be talked about during the initial evaluation visit.
