Common Questions & Answers about Tattoo Removal

"I recently read about women who have had breast enlargment...to hide the scars they were tatooed using ink made to match the skin color rather than laser surgery.Have you heard of this, and if so is it done by doctors or a Tattoo artist.I was wondering if it would work on the stretch marks under my armpits. I recently started noticing them from the amount of weight i've gained from weight lifting. Thank you any help would be appriciated."

Tattoo Removal Basics


Advertisement
Certain inks can react to the laser creating a dark, untreatable chemical.

You aren't stuck with that tattoo you got on the spur-of-the-moment. Old methods of tattoo removal created a great deal of scarring, but the lasers used today are not only more gentle, but also more effective.

How it's done
A beam of light from the laser is fired in rapid bursts onto the tattoo and the pigment heats, erupting from the skin. You will need 6 to 8 treatments.

Recovery
7 to 10 days.

Complications
Certain inks can react to the laser creating a dark, untreatable chemical. Burning sensations can also be felt during treatment. Although minor scarring can occur it will be less noticeable than the original tattoo.

Cost
$200 to $2,000 per treatment.
