Even though tattoos are meant to be permanent, they can be removed leaving little to no scar. Lasers can now be used to destroy the ink particles in your skin and make the tattoo disappear. All colors of ink can be removed; however, some colors are easier to treat than others. Not all lasers can do this, only special lasers developed for tattoo removal can be used. There is minimal discomfort which is helped by the use of topical numbing creams applied before each treatment.
The laser treatment only takes about 5-10 minutes to perform. The treated areas take approximately one week to heal and the tattoo is noticeably lighter. It usually takes several treatments, each performed 4-6 weeks apart. We can now erase a bad choice made years ago, that many people thought would be with them forever.
