A tattoo is designed to last for a lifetime. However, if your feelings about a tattoo change over time, there is a laser removal technology. New, advanced laser tattoo removal technology has made it possible for providers to remove unwanted tattoos more efficiently and effectively than traditional tattoo removal methods. However, challenges such as ink particle size, tattoo color, depth of ink particles, tattoo age and location all play a role in the speed of clearance and the number of treatments required to achieve optimal results.
We use Enlighten® by Cutera. It has emerged as the premier solution for laser tattoo removal. Featuring dual pulse durations (2 ns + 750/660 ps) and three unique laser wavelengths (532, 1064, 670 nm), enlighten has the power to clear all ink colors, variable ink particle sizes and densities in fewer treatments.
Treatment consists of short zaps of targeted light that reach the deeper layers of the skin. This stimulates the body’s immune system to remove the pigment. Home care following laser removal treatments is similar to the care recommended for getting a tattoo.
