Tattoo removal

Overview:

Many regret getting tattoos and seek to get rid of them. Laser tattoo removal is the only safe and effective method to remove a tattoo without damaging the outer layer of the skin. Laser energy penetrates the skin to reach the pigments. Different wavelengths of light will target different tattoo colors. The amount of energy delivered must be sufficient to break up the ink. In experienced hands, the integrity of the outer dermis of the skin is maintained and undamaged leaving no scars.
