If you are having second thoughts or are tired of that tattoo you received at an earlier time in your life, don't give it another thought. Diminish it through laser treatments.

The laser can change the nature of the tattoo ink into a product that your own body absorbs. Most unwanted tattoos can be faded with minimal changes to your skin.

Will all the pigment disappear?
The darker the pigment, the more favorable the response.

Black or dark blue pigment responds best. Red responds intermediately.

Green, bright blue, and yellow pigments don't respond as well.

The depth of the tattoo pigment within the skin is another factor in treatment success. Amateur tattoos are usually more superficial and respond better. Professionally applied tattoos tend to be deeper and less responsive.

Are there any other options besides laser treatment? 

Only surgical removal of the area of skin. In lax areas, surgery may be an option.  Tight skin areas such as chests, backs, arms and legs often require skin grafting. Usually the skin graft would be more unsightly than any partially remaining tattoo pigment.

How much does it cost? 

We price our treatments according to size. A tattoo measuring up to 3" x 3" is $250. for the first treatment and $150. every time thereafter. This is considered a small.

The medium tattoo will be up to 4" x 4" and is priced at $450. for the first treatment and $250. thereafter. Up to and beyond 6" x 6" is considered a large. The first treatment will be $650. and $350. every time thereafter. 

How many treatments will I need? 

Our average client will come in anywhere from 8 to 12 treatments. We will schedule your appointments 4 to 6 weeks apart. This is just an average. Some will take less time and others will take longer. It would be hard to determine without looking at your tattoo and your skin. 

Do you use anesthetic? 

Many clients prefer to use ice packs to numb the area. Others who are more pain intolerant will use the topical numbing cream.  

What kind of laser do you use to remove them and is there any scarring?

We use the YAG laser and have found it to be highly effective. We have not had a single case of scarring to date.
