Laser Tattoo Removal
People opt to get tattoos for a variety of reasons, many of them personal and sentimental. Unfortunately, over time sentiments can change, and tattoo regret is possible. If you live near Lancaster, Lebanon, or Reading, contact Carter MD Aesthetics today to schedule your laser tattoo removal service. You don’t have to live with tattoo regret any longer.
Trust the Experts at Carter MD Aesthetics
Our professional staff at Carter MD Aesthetics have the ability to remove tattoos with our new Alma Harmony XL Pro laser platform. Most laser tattoo removal systems can only use one laser wavelength to break apart the ink pigments of the tattoo. Our Alma Harmony XL Pro laser utilizes two Q-switched laser wavelengths, specifically 532 and 1064. For this reason, we are able to successfully clear more different colors than could be accomplished with just one wavelength.
How Does Laser Tattoo Removal Work?
Laser tattoo removal requires multiple sessions spaced 2-4 months apart. Some tattoo colors can be treated more successfully than others. In the majority of cases a tattoo can be removed after 4-10 treatments.
Does Removing Tattoos Hurt?
Something that many patients are concerned about is the discomfort associated with laser tattoo removal sessions. No question this is a legitimate concern. Breaking up (in this case, ink) is hard to do! And it is also uncomfortable.
At Carter MD Aesthetics we have the ability to offer many possible pain alleviating options. Among these are Zimmer cooling, topical ice, topical analgesic creams, subcutaneous lidocaine injections, nitrous oxide, and foam squeeze balls.
If the tattoo is smaller in size, the patient can take comfort in the fact that laser used for tattoo removal is extremely quick and therefore most patients can tolerate these brief treatment sessions without any pain reducing technique whatsoever. In fact, most offices do not offer any pain lessening options for this purpose. Vicki Briner, our talented licensed aesthetician, performs most of our laser tattoo removals. A quick consultation with Vicki will enable the development of a treatment plan that will give a good idea of probable number of sessions needed, how to lessen treatment discomfort, and pricing.
