There are people who love tattoos and people who hate tattoos, but what about the people whose feelings about them have changed? Today, there are many people who have tattoos that they once loved but would now rather be without – and that’s where tattoo removal comes in.

At our Lancaster aesthetics company, we offer professional tattoo removal performed by Dr. Carter that can fade and remove your unwanted tattoo. Whether it’s one you’ve had for a year or one you’ve had for 20 years, we can safely and successfully get rid of it for you.

Top reasons people want to remove a tattoo:

  • It was badly executed
  • It’s faded
  • It’s outdated
  • It’s not accepted in the career you want
  • It’s embarrassing

How It Works

While tattoo removal was once done using techniques like dermabrasion, Trichloroacetic acid, and even cryosurgery, today there are lasers developed specifically to target ink particles. These lasers create a non-invasive procedure that breaks down the ink in your skin. They’re designed to activate your body’s natural skin cell processes and once your body recognizes the particles, it  will work to eliminate them. Over time, the tattoo will fade and disappear.

The laser we use at our Lancaster aesthetics company is able to target a variety of ink colors, however, on average, black and darker colored inks are easier to remove than lighter colors like yellow or pastels. After your first session, we’ll recommend a number of subsequent sessions based on your skin type, where the tattoo is located, and the amount of ink in the design. Once we’re done, you’ll be left with revitalized skin and an area that’s tattoo-free.
